Who killed Juliano Mer-Khamis?

On Monday April 4, 2011, the talented and charismatic actor and director Juliano Mer-Khamis was cowardly assassinated at close range with more than five shots in the presence of his young daughter by a group of hooded men.

The brutal attack was perpetrated in the city of Jenin in the vicinity of the Liberty Theatre, which he founded in cooperation with the former terrorist of the Brigades of Al-Aksa Martyrs Zakaria Zubeidi.

His body was taken in a Palestinian ambulance to a military checkpoint and from there he led the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv for further investigation.

Julian was buried Wednesday in a Kibbutz Ramot Menashe in the Galilee in northern Israel near the grave of his mother, Orna Mer.

Julian was born 52 years ago in the midst of a very special family:

His mother was a Jewish Israeli human rights activist, Orna Mer born in Rosh Pina who in his youth fought in the Palmach and the Israel Defense Forces during the War of Independence.

His maternal grandfather, Gideon Mer, was an important symbol of the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel. An immigrant from Lithuania, a pioneer in the eradication of malaria through the draining of marshes in the former Palestine during the British Mandate.

His father was Saliba Khamis, a Christian Arab from Nazareth and leader of the Israeli Communist Party in the early 50's.

After his father fell in love, marry and settle in the Israeli Arab town of Nazareth, Julian was born in 1958. He did his military service in the Israeli army as a combatant in the brigade of paratroopers. Following his military service was devoted to the theater film and television, where he excelled as an actor and director.

Perhaps what most marked the life of Julian may have been the ethnic or religious background of his family as special or peculiar perhaps the political concerns of their parents.

During a recent interview was asked if he considered Arab or Jew, he replied: "I am one hundred percent one hundred percent Palestinian and Jew," "being here in Jenin I feel more Jewish than ever ".

His ultimate dream was to become a link between both countries although in recent years in full solidarity with the Palestinian cause and proposed a single state for Palestinians and Israelis.

Julian was subjected to serious threats to his life and described as "a Zionist", a "fifth column" and "a traitor" by the fact of being a child of a Jewish mother and considered that their project theater students away to their armed struggle against Israel and favors a peaceful solution.

Juliano Mer-Khamis who was killed by the bullets of hatred and Islamic fundamentalism, really deserves to become the great symbol of peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis.

But unfortunately still, there were no mass demonstrations of protest, indignation and condemnation for this heinous crime.

even Unfortunately, thousands of Palestinians progressive, staunch Israeli peace activists and human rights defenders are not marched through the wide world.

Juliano you were, you are and be a true symbol of the tremendous contradictions of this suffering and bloody land without peace.

Juliano Mer-Khamis left, resources and be a renewed hope that peace that takes so long to reach the Land of Israel.

I'm sure come this time of peace we so desperately need and long for, but we have to create other conditions very different from today, we must build stronger and more solid foundation and we need a key ingredient called justice, real justice, not pantomime, in order to really sustain this large building called: True Peace.

You who love peace and justice so necessary for a harmonious coexistence among peoples and among men: What do you think of this peace that is taking so long to arrive?

"It would be very sad that after all I've done for the youth of the Jenin refugee camp, I was killed by a Palestinian bullet." Juliano Mer-Khamis.

"That next year we are all free!"

The Feast of Passover was always present in my conscience and my feelings, she brings a sweet sense of freedom, of Spring, Rebirth, my Future in Land of Israel. But reality tells me that this beautiful epic of liberation of our people from Egypt was not eternal

"This year there are still many who are servants,
that next year we are all free!"

Today we have the historic privilege of participating in the revival, consolidation and growth of our present-day Israel, where returned Liberty again, at great cost but also with many and renewed energy and hope. Although even today, not all are free, the fight for freedom is not yet complete, there is still a long way to go.

"I wish you a Happy Passover

A rough justice with the power

THE NATION

For Monday April 11, 2011 when applying for these crimes, are usually much lower, even in Israel, where the sentence has taken place. But it happens that there not all citizens are equal, because stiffer penalties apply to those who exercise public responsibilities. The height of a charge is up to its responsibility. The higher the more severe punishment. Even if the former president Moshe Katsav has cried and insisted on his innocence even though many persons commented that it was a day of mourning for the nation, it is undisputed that it has been tried and convicted in an exemplary manner. In Israel, justice is a sacred body, with a tradition of thirty centuries, at least from the legendary installment of the Tablets of the Law The dispersion of the Jewish people did not diminish the strength of that attachment to the law, but was rebuilt by rabbinical courts or courts that were formed with the most worthy of every community small it was. The independent State of Israel reopened the attachment to the flame of social order, and from the beginning was justice over other republican powers. The new headquarters of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem was built on a hill higher than the Parliament and all ministries, the single reference to symbolize the strength of its power.

There, they are not all saints, of course. But when one crosses the line of legality or commits a crime, does not escape trial and appropriate punishment. Much more strict, I insist, if that person has highlighted in the company or holds public office. So, I say that there is no equal justice for all: those who get higher, the higher price they must pay for their lack. The conviction of former president Katsav's not the first that applies a high level official, but it is harder than any other city, due to the rank he held in the country's institutional framework. Institutions must be respected to the letter.
The list of persons for crimes punishable by intransigence in other parts of the world would only smile, not very long, but notable. Includes no less than Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He was forced to give up his first term when he discovered that his wife Leah had violated the law by not declaring that he had opened a bank account in the United States to deposit their savings when her husband was ambassador. The savings just touched the $ 20,000. But it was not forgiven her nor was her husband. Completion of sentence, Rabin was able to return to politics, to move forward with its commitment to peace and eventually fell as a martyr for the madness of a fanatic.

Later, the son of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was sentenced to jail nine months due to irregularities detected in the electoral campaign funding of his father, with whom he was involved. There was no attempt to press for them, because that would have aggravated the case. There, the pressure to justice, wherever they come, are exceptional and end badly.

Another historical example was that of former President Ezer Weizman. He was a charismatic and highly respected. But he demanded resign when it came to light several years ago when he worked as a minister, had taken undeclared donations entrepreneurs who, in turn, were punished for their offenses. These examples show that in Israel, justice is not playing. You could criticize many things from their governments, but not ignore the legal system is an admirable example. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who had made significant rapprochement with Abu Mazen, president of the Palestinian National Authority, he served as mayor of Jerusalem before. While serving as a successful prime minister, came to press the case Holyland, a huge real estate project of its time mayor, who tried to leak the fakes, breach of trust, trading in influence and other herbs. Olmert is also accused of favoring certain friends when he was Minister of Finance and privatized Bank Leumi. Olmert was indicted, and the centrist Kadima party, to which he belongs, he was a significant loss.

The former transport minister and deputy prime minister Yitzhak Mordechai was also wrecked his political career. Without delay, he was forced to resign for having committed sexual harassment of two women. In March 2001, he imposed a sentence of 18 months in prison.

Another minister, Health, was also sentenced to 18 months in prison and a fine of 80,000 shekels for taking bribes and being involved in a serious crime: attempting to obstruct the judicial process. Shlomo Benizri has been marked forever by such transgression.

Former Finance Minister Abraham Hirchson was even stronger conviction: five years in prison for theft maneuvers meant a union. There were no protests of any union or any worker, but gratitude and unanimous praise for the rigor of justice.

could be pointed out and a few other relevant cases, but not as high as those found in most parts of the world. There has consolidated the certainty that sooner or later, criminals-that is, pay your ticket. And if you hold public office, the punishment will be greater, without doubt or pity. This oiled functioning of society as a whole. Has a powerful deterrent for those tempted to go jump the fence.

I was able to meet the president of the Supreme Court of Israel. He told me stories about the judiciary in American and European countries, with strong color. It had been a classmate of primary and secondary Daniel Barenboim, which raised her sincere curiosity for Argentina. In my answers, I just noble and beautiful aspects of my country, not to mix politics and describe the state of our justice. Moreover, surely did not need my information to find out. But I confess that I stressed to talk with an emblem of justice in capital letters.

The Supreme Court of Israel, as I said, occupies one of the highest places of the city, in a renovated Mount Sinai. She directed all agencies that need their final verdict. It is known that the Arabs, Bedouin and Druze appeal to the Court with great confidence, as there have been many cases in which the Jews lost to the Palestinians. Even a member of the High Court is Arabic: it is Dr. Salim Joubran.

Former President Moshe Katzav want to take your case to the Supreme Court. Sure he will. But it's sure that this opportunity will not depart from the equanimity that has given so much prestige and functions as the custodian of the correct rule insomniac of the law.
