Eden Natan-Zada

Natan-Zada to be buried in Rishon Lezion
Evidence casts doubt on what happened in Shfaram bus killings

Lynched while handcuffed.
 
Mr. Natan-Zada and his wife are quoted in the media worldwide, saying their son was dangerously unstable and that they tried to warn the army to take his gun away before he or his extremist friends killed Arabs, but to no avail. But Mr. Natan-Zada insists that he and his wife told the media the exact opposite.

Based on my discussion with Mr. Natan-Zada, and a study of media accounts of the Shfaram bus events, as archived in the media search engine, Lexis-Nexis, two things seem clear. First, except for one solid fact, we do not know what happened on that bus. Second, the one solid fact is that for an hour, while Eden Natan-Zada was in police custody, with his hands tied, he was beaten to death by a raging mob. And that lynching -- condemned neither by the media nor the Israeli government -- lasted about an hour.
