Dear Jeff,

I just recieved this article clip from a friend in Tel Aviv University, Israel. His name is Yitzhak Laor yitshac@post.tau.ac.il . This article appeared in Yediot Aharonot, Hebrew daily in Tel Aviv on May 31, 2002.

Regards, Ziva Cohen

"I didn't give a chance to anyone" --Moshe Nissim
published in Yediot Aharonot Hebrew daily paper in Tel Aviv (May 31, 2002).

The Alternative Information Center translated the words of one soldier from an engineering platoon, scheduled to receive the Medal of Honour awarded to twelve soldiers who participated in the war crimes of Jenin and the destruction in the old city of Nablus.

Moshe Nissim, who operated an armore bulldozer for 75 straight hours in Jenin:

"No one refused an order to take down a house. When they told me to destroy a house I exploited that in order to destroy a few more homes. On the loudspeaker (the Palestinian residents) were warned to get out before I came in. But I didn't give a chance to anyone. I didn't wait. I'm sure that people died inside of those houses. From my perspective we left them a football field, they should play there. The 100x100 was our present to the camp. Jenin will not return to be what it was."

-- published in 'Yedioth Ahronot,' Friday 31 May 2002.

This person incriminated himself and those who sent him to commit War Crimes in the name of "self defense". Does anybody know what legal steps can be taken? How and where can one press charges against this man and those who gave his orders?
