following this is a brief from Al-haq, the human rights group.  Please consider reading it.  Today's show is with the luminous Anna Batzer, a Jewish-American activist for Palestinian rights.  her website is www.Annainthemiddleeast.com

On Tuesday, 29 July 2008, at approximately 6:00 pm, a peaceful demonstration consisting of roughly 50 children and 50 elderly Palestinians left the centre of Ni’lin village and began walking towards the intended demonstration site near the Annexation Wall. The organisers deliberately decided to hold the protest at 6:00 pm because they knew that Israeli soldiers and construction workers would not be present, and it would therefore be relatively safe to allow children and the elderly to demonstrate. Upon the group’s arrival, an Israeli Border Police vehicle rapidly deployed to the site. The demonstration’s organisers quickly began to lead the children and elderly to safety. Ahmad Husam Musa, a ten-year-old child, hid in an olive grove. A member of the Israeli Border Police saw Ahmad Musa, left the Border Police vehicle, aimed his rifle and fired a live bullet. Shot from a distance of 50 metres, the bullet entered Ahmad Musa’s forehead and exited through the back of his skull. While two of the demonstration’s organisers attempted to carry Ahmad Musa to safety, they were fired upon by the Border Police. They succeeded in carrying the child to safety, but he was already dead
