Peace activist murdered by Palestinian

[cali]

Angelo Frammartino, a 24 year-old student from Italy who arrived in Israel as a human rights organization activist, was stabbed to death Thursday by an Arab knifeman.

The website of Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported that Frammartino was working for the setting up of a children's supper camp for Palestinians in Jerusalem's Old City, and was supposed to return to Italy on Friday.


The youth was stabbed in the back while walking with four friends in the Sultan Suleiman street in the capital, near the Prahim Gate.


The attacker left the knife at the scene of the crime and fled. Police set up checkpoints in the area and arrested three suspects for suspected involvement.

1. it is sad.

but since it wasn't Israel that killed her, it will probably get few mentions here.

2. Crime happens everywhere.

Even palestinians commit crime.

4. Of course

crime happens everywhere, and whether it was politically motivated- as the authorities claim- or just a robbery, it's a sad story.

5. completely uncalled for. It seems you are the one who lacks compassion.

This is very sad and I mourn for his death.

7. What a stupid tit for tat

and yes, this is directed at both you and the poster you're responding to. I didn't post this for political reasons. I posted it because it was a sad story about a young man who cared enough to do something for people, and lost his life because of it. Way to show how DU reflects, in miniature and non-violent terms, the endless cycle of retribution and rigid side taking in the mideast.

8. There was no tit for tat by breakaleg...

There's not even a hint of politicising anything in their post, unlike the first one....

9. You're right- I meant to reply to

post #6, not breakaleg.
