Eden Natan-Zada ((ヘブライ語:עדן נתן-זדה), born 9 July 1986, died 4 August 2005) was an Israeli soldier who opened fire in a bus in Shefa-Amr in northern Israel on 4 August 2005, killing four Israeli-Arabs and wounding twelve others. He was restrained, disarmed and cuffed when he tried to reload to prepare for another round of shooting.〔(Israeli Government Bears Responsibility for Shefa-Amr Massacre ) Kibbush.co.il 7 August 2005〕 After he was restrained and handcuffed, he was beaten to death by the crowd, as recorded on video.〔(Last moments of Natan-Zada ) Maariv, 8 August 2005〕 It has been inferred that the shooting was a personal protest against the Israeli government's disengagement plan, since an orange ribbon was found attached to Natan-Zada's pocket. (Orange was an emblem color of anti-disengagement activism).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USATODAY.com - Israel's orange revolt: Public support for Gaza settlers )〕 No group had taken credit for the terror attack and one official in the settler movement denounced it. Natan-Zada was absent without leave and in hiding from the IDF at the time of the shooting. He had recently become religious after getting involved with far-right activists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Columns: No group holds patent on terrorism )〕 ==Early life== Natan-Zada was born to an Israeli-Jewish family that had immigrated to Israel from Iran and Yemen.〔http://www.haaretz.com/by-the-grave-of-eden-natan-zada-1.166611〕 Natan-Zada's parents describe him as having been a "bright and studious Israeli schoolboy" prior to his becoming involved with the Jewish extremist Kahanism movement, to which he was introduced via the Internet. He then began spending weekends in Kfar Tapuach, an Orthodox West Bank settlement. During his national service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Natan-Zada deserted the army and hid in Kfar Tapuach to avoid further service.〔 According to Matthew Gutman of the Jerusalem Post, Kfar Tapuach "became the unofficial headquarters of the Jewish terrorist group Kahane Chai in 1990," but supporters deny the existence of a Kahane headquarters. In a letter left behind after his desertion, Natan-Zada expressed dismay to his parents over the disengagement plan, saying 'Just as I couldn't carry out an order that desecrates the Sabbath, I cannot be part of an organization that expels Jews.'〔('I won’t expel Jews' ) Ynetnews, 5 August 2005〕 He added the anti-pullout slogan 'Jews don't expel Jews' to his letter, and concluded the message with the words: 'I will consider how I will continue to serve.' His mother claims that prior to the shooting she alerted the IDF and other security services that her son was still in possession of his military-issued weapon. 'We told everyone he's AWOL, that he could do something with his gun. We begged them to take away his gun. He also asked them to take his gun. The army destroyed my child. The army destroyed my life.' According to ''The New Republic'', 'an army psychiatrist warned that he wasn't fit for weapons or uniform, but his professional judgment was awaiting approval by a panel of medical experts that was not very swift in assembling' and that a 'former chief of staff of the IDF' had 'speculated that the killer's parents might have a chance to win damages in court for neglect by the army of the welfare of their son.'〔(Israel responds to Israeli terrorism ) The New Republic, 10 July 2005〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eden Natan-Zada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
