American nurse

A visiting American nurse tried to save Awdah Hathaleen's life after he was shot by one of the Israelis carrying out a pogrom. Once he was in an ambulance she worked on helping an unconscious Palestinian. This was her duty as a medic.

The Israeli government considered her practice of medicine on Palestinians so vicious that it arrested her, and soon after deported her.

While in jail, she says, she saw other jailed Palestinian prisoners bound and blindfolded, while Yinon Levi (suspected of killing Awdah) was walking almost freely and the prison guards were joking with him.

Blocking medical workers from reaching wounded Palestinians is a frequent murder tactic in Palestinian territories.
