<p><strong>From Kawther Salaam, please share and spread the request.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.kawther.info/wpr/request-for-a-lawyer">Request for a Lawyer «Kawther Salam</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>This is a solicitation for legal assistance</strong>, to help  me present a case, or cases, against the State of Israel and private  individuals and organizations, for damages, because of human rights  abuses and many other crimes perpetrated against me by persons of  Israeli and American citizenship under the protection and with the  encouragement of the State of Israel.</p>
<p>In the United States, a legal precedent for a similar lawsuit has  probably already been set by the Jewish survivors of the Nazi holocaust  perpetrated against them by the German Nazi regime until 1945. To my  knowledge, such persons have presented a largely successful lawsuit (or  lawsuits) against entities in France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.  For further information, see here.</p>
<p><strong>A very short overview of what happened to me and what I want</strong></p>
<p>I was expelled by the Israeli Army from my home in Hebron in 2002  because of my work as a journalist, but before that I had been sexually  harassed, beaten, insulted and slandered by the IDF and the illegal  Jewish settlers, my home was repeatedly vandalized by the illegal Jewish  settlers and IDF. I was hospitalized several times due to these  mistreatments. I lost several jobs in a row due to Israeli pressure on  my employers despite being a well-known and recognized journalist; I was  defrauded of the fruits of my work by Israeli associates who made use  of the inequality of Palestinians before Israeli law, and my work was  subsequently used by the Israeli military to endanger my life. I live in  Austria as a refugee under the Geneva Convention since 2002.<br />
Due to the expulsion from my home by the Israeli government, I lost a  respected job as a journalist and the social position attached to that  occupation, an adequate income, my livelihood, my house, and I will very  likely never again see my family. I do currently live, impoverished,  from about 650 Euros per month which I receive from the social office of  the city of Vienna. Still, compared to many other Palestinians, I am  privileged.</p>
<p>While still living in Hebron, I presented over 300 complaints with  the Israeli police for various abuses. My lawyer in Jerusalem tried to  bring these complaints before Israeli courts. She was told that none of  my complaints would ever be pursued by Israeli authorities, that this  was a political decision. All these complaints were closed by the  Israeli police without further investigation. I have posted some of  these documents, which are in Hebrew, <a title="here" href="http://www.kawther.info/police.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>I expect the outcome of any lawsuit to be ample compensation and  punitive damages for the abuses and transgressions I suffered at the  hands of the Israelis; the reconstruction of my house to the state it  was before the Israeli military and the illegal Jewish settlers  vandalized it; the reinstatement of my right to live in security in my  home, Hebron. I expect as an additional outcome that such a lawsuit  presented in my case will open the way for potentially all Palestinians,  at home or in exile, to present similar compensation claims.</p>
<p>A potentially incomplete list of possible defendant(s): the  Government of Israel; various Israeli civil and military officers;  various identified and unidentified Jewish settlers, primarily those  known to be integrants of the Kach and New Kach movements, which have  been labeled as terrorist organizations by the US State Department;  American, Israeli and other associations like JINSA, AIPAC, JTA, ADL,  WJC, … which have been characterized by American investigators as  obtaining the complicity of the USA in the genocide against Palestinians  by using questionable methods to “convince” same legislators and  officials to do their bidding; individuals and organizations throughout  the world which supplement the finances of the illegal settlements in  the West Bank and Gaza; companies in various jurisdictions drawing  profits from their commercial relations with the occupiers in illegal  settlements in the West Bank; media outlets around the world which act  as enablers of the ongoing genocide because they routinely deny and  mischaracterize the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people.</p>
<p>Because of similarities of my case and those of the survivors of the  Nazis, I wrote an Email of similar content to the lawyer company which  apparently represented the Jewish holocaust victims. Since they have not  shown interest in my case to date, I am soliciting a lawyer in this  way. Lack of interest in my case is their privilege. I commented on that  <a title="here" href="http://www.kawther.info/K20061119A.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Please <a title="write me" href="mailto:kawther_salam@yahoo.com">write me</a> if you or your company are interested in my case and you think that you can achieve a satisfactory outcome.</p>
