On March 18, 2004, Ha'yir Weekly, a major Tel-Aviv weekend paper (Ha'aretz Group), published an interview with a certain Tali Fahima, a young woman age 28 working as a secretary in a respectable law firm in Tel-Aviv, in which she stated strongly her positions against the Israeli assassination policy. The article recounts Fahima's meeting with Zachariah Zbeidi, chief of Jenin's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and her willingness to protect him from the Israeli military's attempts on his life. In the third paragraph, Rona Segal writes: "The difficulty in labeling Tali Fahima, a single woman living by her own, transcends the demarcation lines of political affiliation. Besides being curious, stubborn and extremely individualistic, Fahima defines herself also as a "News Freak"." Having no former political experience, the lack of any political affiliation on Fahima's part was a puzzling fact for both journalists and the General Security Services (GSS). It seemed nobody knew what to make of this woman, originating from a very modest Mizrachi (Jewish-Arab) family from the impoverished southern Israeli town of Kiryat-Gat, voting for the Likud party in the last general elections, and acting on her own. Fahima has paid since a heavy personal price for the public's difficulty to grasp her actions and motives, on mid September she was put in a four month administrative detention, after being interrogated intensively by the GSS for 28 days. Seemingly, the interrogation did not yield enough evidence to justify persecution. However, the public, with the aid of massive press coverage, said its word. Fahima, people say, is either a traitor or a lunatic, or even better, both.

No offence, but I know Tali Fahima (because I live in Israel), and I don't mind saying shes Stupid. With all the respect, shes one of the dumbest people in Israel.

I had the honor of meeting Zakariyah Zbeidi in Jenin this summer. I'll see if I can dig up my journal entries from that time to share some of what he said-- he is an amazing and articulate person.

Tali Fahima was released from prison lately. Hooray!

Great piece Latuff.

Would you like to make a follow up drawing?

Speaking of people who got out of prison recently, Omri Evron was released a while ago.

Tali Fahima is a great fighter because she struggles inside and against a whole militarist concept.
