Condemn Israel for murdering peace activist Ziad Abu Helaiel

The gruesome murder of renowned Palestinian activist Ziad Abu Helaiel by Israel forces is an appalling act of barbarity. This 66-year-old man was known for peacefully confronting soldiers during demonstrations and serving as a voice for his community. The fact that he was brutally beaten to death in his own home by Israel troops is a horrific human rights violation. Raiding civilian homes and using lethal force against unarmed civilians cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. This disturbing incident is yet another tragic example of the Israel military's disregard for civilian lives and use of force against a defenseless population living under occupation. Murdering a beloved elder simply for trying to stop the arrest of a relative is an unconscionable crime.
