The killing of Ziad Abu Ein, a minister in the Palestinian Authority, by the Israeli army once again has brought into focus the lethal consequences of the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. Ziad Abu Ein was killed when he, and a number of other villagers, were attempting to plant some olive trees in protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Many other Palestinians have been killed recently as anger against the occupation continues. In the meantime, thousands of Palestinians continue to languish in Israeli jails. Resistance will continue and a new hunger strike has been launched by prisoners.
