Continuation of 'I saw fit to remove her from the world'
Edited on Fri Nov-07-03 04:57 PM by guernica
Captain Uri arrived at the
outpost the next day to
conduct a thorough
investigation. Officer Moshe
wasn't there. Uri asked
Sergeant Michael to show him
where the girl was buried.
They collected the squad
commanders and set out. Uri
asked them to dig up the

grave and take out the body. The soldiers
refused. Uri took a shovel and dug the grave up
himself. He saw the body and then covered it
again with sand. They returned to the outpost.
On the way back, Captain Uri asked the sergeant
whether his conscience was bothering him.
Michael said it was.

At the outpost, Uri collected a few items that
were connected with the girl: the khaki shorts,
a bead necklace, a headscarf with rings, two
bracelets and tufts of hair that the company
commander found hidden in the sand. The
sergeant showed him the hut where the girl had
been locked up and the torn bed on which she
had lain. The company commander drew up a
report summarizing his findings, and the
sergeant and the three squad commanders signed
it.

At that very moment, Second Lieutenant Moshe was
meeting in Be'er Sheva with the battalion
commander, Major Drexler. During the
conversation, Drexler said, "Rumors have
reached me about unruly behavior in connection
with the Arab girl." He told Moshe that he had
sent the company commander to investigate.
Moshe replied: "What can I do? It's the guys.
If it had been just one, I would have brought
him under control." On the way back to the
outpost, Moshe ran into Captain Uri, who had
just come from there. He told Moshe that he was
going to file charges against him over the
events at the outpost. Moshe remained in
command of the outpost for three more days. On
August 19, he and sergeant Michael were
arrested by the Military Police and taken to
Be'er Sheva for interrogation.


Part II is continued here
