Israeli Forces Kill 2 Palestinian Teenagers in West Bank; Activists Condemn U.S. Delegation to Israel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in recent days in the
occupied West Bank. Nineteen-year-old Nehad Amin Barghouti was killed by
Israeli soldiers during clashes in the town of Nabi Saleh, near
Ramallah. This came just a few days after the Sunday killing of
17-year-old Mohammad Akram Abu Salah during a house raid and demolition
near the city of Jenin. This is Abu Salah's mother.

Mohammad Akram Abu Salah's mother: "For me, as his mother, no one can
feel how I feel now. I love him, thanks to God. I still live with the
hope that he will come again and smile at me. His smile was like
medicine to me."

Meanwhile, Palestinian rights advocates have condemned a U.S.
congressional delegation currently visiting Israel and led by House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi for enabling Israel's continued human rights and
international law violations.
