Mousa Saleh[edit]

According to Noam Chomsky (see references) on April 6 (sic) 1988 twenty hikers from Tirza Porat led by Romam Aldubi were crossing village land in a show of strength when they came across Mousa Saleh Bani Shamseh, a shepherd with his flock. Aldubi shot him dead. In the confrontation that followed the Israelis were forced into the village. According to Chomsky it was here, after Mousa Saleh's mother threw a stone at Aldubi that Romam Aldubi opened fire with his automatic weapon and killed Hatem Fayez Ahmad Al-Jaber and severly wounded several other villagers. He also killed Tirza Porat, a teenage girl, member of his own group. He was disarmed by the villager who destroyed his gun. As punishment for the death of Tirza Porat the IDF destroyed 15 buildings in the Beita 'giving people ample time to leave'. ['a total lie' says Chomsky who counted twice that number of destroyed houses including all their contents.] At least 60 villagers were arrested and 16 year old Abdul Halim Mohammad Said was shot dead. 'Half a dozen' of the prisoners were deported. Romam Aldubi was brought to trial but the charges were dropped on the grounds 'that what had happened (was) already punishment enough for him'.Padres Hana (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have the source, go ahead and add it to the article and we could fix any possible POV issues afterward. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:23, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Noam Chomsky[edit]

Noam Chomsky is *not* a reliable source.

Beita Incident[edit]

Sorry, but everything in this section is very badly written and not worthy of wikipedia. This whole section sounds like political activism. This section should be moved to it's own page. Jacker1968 (talk) 19:39, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you had the expertise to judge whether prose is badly written or not, you would have not erred egregiously in writing 'it's' instead of the 'its'.Nishidani (talk) 21:54, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
