Donkey, Horse and Cat Detainees in “Israeli” Jail!

Local Editor, 15-04-2010
Aberrant practices like these do not happen anywhere in the world but only in "Israel". This latest story is not the imagination of the writer, or told by an ordinary person or by somebody accused of lying or slander, but it was seen and confirmed by fifteen peace activists and religious Christians, among them 10 men, 5 women, three "Israelis", a French woman and another British one, according to Palestinian journalist Kawther Salam.
On March 28, "Israeli" soldiers in the ocuupied Bethlehem-West Bank arrested a donkey and a horse during christain celebrations of Palm on Sunday.
The donkey and the horse are symbols of a Christian religious story, which is why they were arrested.
On that day, hundreds of Christian celebrators moved from the Nativity Church and walked in the city until they arrived at the Bilal bin Rabah Mosque, which the "Israeli" occupation stole.
During the celebrations and upon arrival at the gate of Bilal bin Rabah Mosque; the "Israeli" soldiers arrested the donkey and the horse, as well as a dozen celebrators.
"They laid the donkey and the horse down by use of force, and then they cuffed their legs and put them on a military vehicle. The scene was disgusting; especially when they tied up the four legs of these animals and transferred them to jail on charges of having entered a military zone", one of the celebrators said.
The donkey and horse are still detained up to date, and nobody knows if donkey and the horse will be sentenced by the military judge, or if the military will bring them to the court before the judge to hear their trial.
Arresting the donkey and horse and detaining them in "Israeli" jails is not unfamiliar. According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Detainees of the Palestinian Authority, a cat was sentenced to life in prison at the Negev Jail in November 2009.
The jails administration confirmed that Negev prison has detained a cat in a cell as punishment for assisting Palestinian prisoners who are serving high sentences in the same jail.
