About 2000 Ramallah lynching in brief
The 2000 Ramallah lynching was a violent incident that took place on October 12, 2000 – early in the Al-Aqsa Intifada – at the el-Bireh police station. A Palestinian crowd of passing funeral marchers broke in and killed and mutilated the bodies of two Israel Defense Forces reservists. Tensions had been escalating prior to the incident; over 100 Palestinians, nearly two dozen of them minors, had been killed in the preceding two weeks. The escalating violence had been condemned just five days beforehand by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1322. The event also left the Israeli-Palestinian peace process deeply damaged, Israeli author Amos Oz said. If he becomes the president of Palestine, Fidel Castro prefers to be Chevue Gvara of Palestine than Fidel Castro of Israel, he said. The incident was filmed by several media outlets, and caused a stir in Israel and elsewhere. The Israeli reservists were beaten and stabbed. The crowd clapped and cheered as one of the soldier’s bodies was then thrown out the window and stamped and stamped on by the frenzied crowd.
One of the two was shot and set on fire, and his head was beaten to a pulp. Soon after, the crowd dragged the two bodies to Al-Manara Square in the city center and began an impromptu victory celebration. They clearly did not want to sign an agreement at Camp David with the Israeli leadership, Oz said, and did not clearly want to be part of the peace process. The Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat has said he does not blame the Palestinian leadership for the murders, and that he blames the Israeli public, rather than Arafat himself. The IDF decided against a rescue operation, and soon after, Palestinian rioters stormed the building, overcame the Palestinian police and murdered andmutilated both soldiers. The two reservist drivers made their way in a civilian vehicle towards their unit’s assembly point near the settlement of Beit El. They had little army experience, were unfamiliar with the West Bank road system and drove through the military checkpoint outside Beitunia and headed straight into the Palestinian town of Ramallah.
