<p>Contrary to Israeli claims, Abu Rahmah is not the first to have died  as a result of tear-gas inhalation. Already during the years of the  First Intifada, Amnesty International had reported<a href="http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/0392/9203069.html">forty deaths from CS tear gas inhalation from December 1987 to June 1988 alone</a> in its report “<em>Israel and the Occupied Territories: Amnesty International’s concerns in 1988</em>” (published 1989).</p>
<p>Jawaher Abu Rahmah was killed after Israeli soldiers used excessive  amounts of tear-gas to disperse the demonstration in Bil’in from afar  last Friday. She passed away Saturday morning from cardiac arrest caused  by the collapse of her respiratory system. Despite an enraging smear  campaign by the Israeli Army, unsubstantially alleging that Abu Rahmah  did not at all die as a result of tear-gas inhalation, <a href="http://popularstruggle.org/content/substantial-evidence-contradicts-armys-version-events-surrounding-death-jawaher-abu-rahmah">all evidence support the demonstrators’ version</a>, including the ambulance and medical reports.</p>
<p>Following the <a href="http://popularstruggle.org/content/israeli-forces-kill-female-protester-bilin">tragic killing of Jawaher Abu Rahmah</a> as a result of tear-gas inhalation during the weekly demonstration  against the Wall last Friday, the residents of Bil’in will dedicate this  week’s protest to her memory. The demonstration is expected to be  joined by hundreds outraged by Abu Rahmah’s killing, most notably women  from across the West Bank, as well as representatives of Israeli women  organizations.</p>
