In Sakhnin, Palestine, inside the occupied lands of 1948,
over 20,000 people marched on Friday, February 1, 2008,
against the closing of the file on the killing of the 13
Palestinian martyrs in October 2000. The 13 martyrs,
Mohammad Ahmed Jabareen, Ahmed Ibrahim Siyam
Jabareen, Rami Khatem Ghara, Eyad Sobhi Lawabny,
Ala Khaled Nassar, Asel Hassan Asleh, Emad Farraj
Ghanaym, Walid Abdul-Menem Abu Saleh, Misleh
Hussein Abu Jarad, Ramez Abbas Bushnaq,
Mohammad Khamayseh, Omar Mohammad
A'kkawi, and Wissam Yazbak, were murdered
by the forces of the Zionist occupation "state"
during protest demonstrations by Palestinians
of the 48 areas during October 2000.
The protest was organized by the Arab Higher
Follow-up Committee against the racist policies
of the Zionist occupation state of "Israel." The
thousands of marchers carried banners and
Palestinian flags, and included among them
many members of the families of the martyrs.
Friday was also a general strike for the Palestinian
community in which thousands participated.
The march especially targeted Zionist "Attorney
General" Menachem Mazuz, who declined to
prosecute the police of the racist state for the
killings, drawing once again attention to the
institutionally racist nature of the state.
The Palestinian people in our lands occupied in
1948 have been subject to racism, uprooting,
and land confiscation since 1948, and this closing
of the file is yet another action in that policy. The
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
considers the closing of the files as an expected
form of the Zionist occupation state and as proof
of the nature of the state of "Israel."
