A Palestinian woman, Jawaher Abu Rahma, 36, died today in Ramallah’s hospital after she inhaled toxic tear gas (a much stronger version than used in the West and with unknown chemicals added) during a peace demo against the apartheid wall in Bilin. Her brother, Bassam Abu Rahma was killed in Bilin two years ago after being deliberately shot with a gas grenade by IDF soldiers under the command of Lieutenant colonel Aviv Reshef (or Reshev) (אלוף משנה אביב רשף), the former brigadier of the Israeli occupation in Ramallah.
Her other brother, Ashraf Abu-Rahma, 27, a well known peace activist, was shot on July 7 2008 after being arrested and while his hands were cuffed by an IDF soldier under the command of lieutenant-colonel Omri Burberg.
The Palestinian doctors said that Abu Rahma was admitted suffering from blood poisoning and did not respond to treatment. After a long night the doctors were forced to pronounce her dead today morning.
Below is a video of the demonstration where Jawaher was injured

I’m so sad to see things like this. However, we are not far from them End of All Things as we Know Them. I for one, welcome this change and pray that God will have mercy on us all.
I do not know this part of the world (middle east) that you live in and i can only imagine the horrors that go on daily. I keep hearing people say that the end is near.. that however, is not the case.There is no such thing as the rapture and Jahshua is not coming to save all the so called christians.Until the people of the US and GB undestand what is going to happpen the world will remain in darkness. So let us all pray (and often)that we will be found worthy to escape the snares that is on the whole world and be able to stand before the Son of man.
