Judeofascist baseness knows no boundaries.... Israeli army sniper leaves British peace activist brain-dead By Justin Huggler in Jerusalem 12 April 2003 A British peace activist was pronounced brain-dead yesterday after being shot in the head by an Israeli army sniper. Tom Hurndall, 21, from London, was shot while trying to rescue Palestinian children from a street where they were pinned down by Israeli gunfire. He is the third peace activist to be killed or seriously injured in the occupied territories in the past month. His fellow activists were beginning to wonder aloud last night if they are a target of the Israeli army. Mr Hurndall was declared brain-dead on arrival at a Palestinian hospital in Rafah but there were some reports last night that his condition might be improving. Mr Hurndall came to the occupied territories after leaving Baghdad, where he had travelled as a human shield before the start of the war in Iraq. His group of activists was in a refugee camp in Rafah near the Egyptian border, where Israeli soldiers often demolish Palestinian homes because they say militants use them as cover from which to fire. The civilian occupants of the houses are left homeless. Mr Hurndall's group intended to stay the night in a tent in a street where an Israeli tank frequently fires into civilian houses, according to Raphael Cohen, another British activist who was there when Mr Hurndall was shot. The Independent has witnessed Israeli tanks firing on civilian houses in Rafah when there were no militants in the area. [...] news.independent.co.uk
