Abdallah waited until 2pm to be lead into the interrogation, accompanied by an international and an attorney. They were not present during the interview. Captain Rizik did not participate in the interrogation but typed into the computer, whilst the other man present (S) spoke with Abdallah.
S: Are you a man? Why did you bring those two sluts with you? [Referring to the women who were with Abdullah]
A: She is my lawyer. I know that this is a state that works according to law.
S: No. there is no law in Israel.
A: There is.
S: The Mukhabrat [Intelligence/Secret Service] has no law. Your lawyer says the paper we gave you is not official, so why did you come? It is not a problem if you don’t come, we will just write it on the computer and then come and take you from your house. What is your job?
A: I am a teacher.
S: In Bil’in?
A: No, Bir Zeit
S: What are you doing in Bil’in? You are doing something wrong. You don’t get called to the Mukhabrat unless you have done something very wrong. Where were you last week?
A: In jail.
S: Why were you in jail?
A: I was taken from a peaceful demonstration.
S: How long were you there?
A: Five days.
S: And then what happened?
A: The judge said that I was arrested by mistake and that I should be released.
S: All of you are arrested by mistake. You know now there are no demonstrations in Biddu?
A: There are demonstrations there.
S: Do you know what happened in Biddu?
A: Yes. They moved the fence further away.
S: Yes, but what’s the price?
A: Five martyrs.
S: No. Five people killed. The people that used to speak on the microphone and organise the demonstrations, do you know where they are? They are sitting in their homes, they are not demonstrating now. Five people were killed and then they stopped demonstrating.
A: If you take a balloon and you step on it what will happen?
S: It will burst.
A: That’s what you are doing to Bil’in. Bil’in used to be called the village of peace. You are strangling it. We are left with no land. Where is my son going to live? The wall in Bil’in will be moved back, but it will happen by peaceful means. We have decided that we are going to resist peacefully.
S: You throw stones. What about the soldier who lost his eye?
A: At the demonstrations stones are not thrown, but when the army enters the village and starts firing between the houses people throw stones at them.
S: We know everything you do.
A: I know you know everything I do and I have done everything according to the law. I haven’t thrown stones.
S: You do something worse than throwing stones. You tell the people to go out on demonstrations. We have reports about you. We know you make problems. Go home, sit quietly in your house, enjoy your life, don’t make problems. We are watching you very, very closely.”
