PRIEST DESCRIBES ASSAULT BY ISRAELI SETTLERS
By Michael Hirst & Nicholas Jubber
RAMALLAH, Israel-occupied West Bank, Nov. 22, 00 (CWNews.com) --
"You must leave now: They are going to bomb Ramallah." In the small
offices
of the Latin Patriarchate Schools, these were familiar words. Employees
grabbed their belongings and headed out, numbed into nonchalance by the
recurring threats to their security and property.
The city--whose outskirts are lined with the villas of cabinet members
of
the Palestinian Authority, set close by the large grey concrete
buildings in
which Yasser Arafat meets his ministers and delegates-- has become
synonymous with violence. Every day, its inhabitants live in
expectation of
air-strikes and missile attacks, waiting for the dull drone of the
Apache
gunships from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) that act as a signal to
shut
up shop and stay indoors.
On international news broadcasts, the images of Islamic chants and
heavily
masked demonstrators give the impression that Ramallah is a refuge for
Islamic fundamentalists. It is not. With 10,000 faithful and a
municipal
protocol that stipulates that the mayor must be a Christian, this is a
traditionally Christian city.
The parish priest for the 1,500- 2,000 Roman Catholics in Ramallah,
Father
Ibrahim Hijazin, is a respected figure in the city. His confidence in
the
possibility of peace spurred him to initiate a "Peace Education
Program" in the Latin Patriarchate School which he runs here. When we
met
him, he spoke proudly, but also sadly (in the light of recent events)
about
his project. "We are the first school in Palestine to have meetings
with
Israeli students and teachers," he said of a program, which began five
years
ago. "We have had many meetings with Israeli schools about the peace
process, the environment and water resources, as well as games like
basketball. But when our students see the killing on TV, how can we
teach
and convince them of a real peace with Israelis-- who they think are
killing
their people and taking their land?"
The frustration which Father Ibrahim feels is reflected in the faces
and
speeches of his teachers and students, as well as their parents. A few
hundred yards away, young children are collecting stones around the
wreck of
a burnt-out bus, while IDF soldiers protected by heavily armored jeeps
load
their M16s in preparation for the afternoon's conflict. In this
atmosphere,
it is easy to despair-- even more so for Father Ibrahim, who has
himself
been the victim of aggression.
The incident, at he recalled it, developed in this way: Father Ibrahim
was
driving back to Ramallah from nearby Nablus, where he had been
conducting
services. As always, he used the main road between the two towns. At
about
6:20 he was stopped by a group of between 45 and 50 Israelis from the
nearby
settlement of Shilo, who were blocking the road. They were middle-aged,
dressed in civilian clothes, the men brandishing machine-guns while the
women placed boulders strategically on the road to halt oncoming
traffic. As
the priest brought his vehicle to a halt, a well-dressed man addressed
him:
"What is your business here?"
"I am a Catholic priest," he replied, "returning to my parish from
religious
services in Nablus." (He was dressed in cassock and clerical collar.)
When
asked for his papers, he produced his Vatican passport, at which one of
the
men scoffed before throwing it back into the car. The leader shrugged
and
stated, "You can't use this road; it is for Israelis only. Go back."
"But I
used it only hours ago. I always use it; it's a main road," Father
Ibrahim
replied. At this the leader levelled his gun at the priest's head and
repeated that the road was for Jews only. The people behind him were
beginning to get angry, shouting and gesticulating at the car. Father
Ibrahim put the vehicle in reverse and attempted to turn around. Behind
him,
however, had gathered another group of some 30 younger settlers in
their
mid-20s. One of these approached the driver's side and said, "Shalom."
Father Ibrahim replied, "Shalom," and was astonished to hear the
breaking of
glass from his rear window. He looked back to see that the younger
group had
surrounded the car, were gathering stones and hurling them from as
close as
two or three yards away. The attack continued until they had run out of
stones, by which time every window of his vehicle had been smashed,
every
plate dented; he too had been struck on the arm. He quickly put his car
into
gear and set off the way he had come, in a state of severe shock.
At a nearby service station, the owners took one look at the condition
of
the car and its driver, and called first the police, who refused to
come,
and then the army, who did not come. As he was wondering what to do--
driving back to Nablus would be dangerous after dark, since he would
face
the threat of another attack from other settlements; yet he could not
risk
returning to the blockade)-- an Arab taxi drove past, in too much of a
hurry
to give any assistance. A quarter of an hour later, however, the cab
returned, its elderly driver and his vehicle having received much the
same
treatment as Father Ibrahim and the Volkswagen Passatt. The driver
informed
Father Ibrahim that he knew a back road to Ramallah, so the priest
followed
him slowly back to his parish.
The next day, Father Ibrahim visited the police station in Jerusalem.
The
officers there redirected him to offices in Beit El, where he filled in
numerous forms and complained to the officer in charge that, by law, he
should be compensated by the government for this attack. "I'm sorry,"
shrugged the policeman. Israeli laws stipulate that the government
should
pay compensatation for damages done by Palestininans, but not by
Israeli
citizens. "If you want to take this matter any further," said the
police
officer, "you will have to go to Shilo and sue these people yourself."
The priest threw the papers on the desk in disgust, and left. The
10,0000
shekel ($2,500) bill for repairs to his vehicle was paid by the Latin
patriarchate, out of funds which had been raised abroad to be spent on
schools, housing projects, and other needs of the local Church.
This is not the only time Father Ibrahim has felt the threat of
violence. He
has had guns pointed at his head, and his Vatican passport does little
to
curry favour with Israeli officialdom. Once, he was travelling in a car
with
a group comprising both Christians and Muslims. Soldiers stopped the
car and
ordered the Christians to dismount while the Muslims stayed inside the
vehicle. "This was to divide the Muslims and Christians," the priest
observed. He was the first in line to dismount, but refused, saying,
"Either
we all get down or we all stay inside." Consequently, he was made to
wait in
the street for four hours.
In the light of such experiences, it is understandable that Father
Ibrahim
feels: "Israel has no respect for anybody, only for its own benefits.
Still
he also stresses that "the Jews are human beings like us." Father
Ibrahim is
now working to bring about peace without violence.
The Church Council of Ramallah, in which the Christian denominations
sit
together, has organized demonstrations in which the parishes pray and
march
alongside each other with candles, singing songs of peace. They have
been
joined by many Muslims, who feel solidarity with their compatriots. But
Father Ibrahim is under no false illusions, and does not expect peace
overnight. "Worse is to come for all the Palestinian people," he fears.
"Maybe soon we will have no food, no water, no electricity."
In a country whose economy is losing $200 million a day, this is a
frightening prospect. But Father Ibrahim retains his conviction of
peace: he
hopes there will be "real peace, the baby of justice." He adds a final
note:
"Without justice, we'll never find peace.""
"God forbid that I should lose the life eternal,
for this carnal and short life." Mrs. Priest
