George Elias Khoury (1983 - March 19, 2004, (アラビア語:جورج إلياس خوري ), (ヘブライ語:ג'ורג' אליאס ח'ורי)) was an Israeli Arab Christian〔http://articles.latimes.com/2004/mar/21/world/fg-victim21〕 murdered by a Palestinian terrorist while jogging in the neighborhood of French Hill in Jerusalem. Khoury, son of Elias Khoury, a prominent lawyer, was a law student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the military branch of the Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to the New York Times, the "Palestinian gunman mistook him for a Jew."〔("Jogger Slain in Palestinian 'Mistake' Was a Student Who Straddled the Mideast Divide," ) Greg Myre, March 21, 2004, New York Times.〕 Khoury's father said, ''I am against all violent attacks against innocent civilians whether it be against Israeli civilians or Palestinian civilians.''〔 Fatah apologized and offered to declare him a martyr for the Palestinian cause. Ibrahim Kandalaft, Arafat's adviser on Christian affairs, eulogized Khoury on behalf of the PA chairman, describing him as a shaheed (martyr) of the Palestinian cause. But the victim's mother interrupted him by declaring that her son was an "angel, not a shaheed."〔http://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ForeignPolicy/Terrorism/Victims/Pages/George%20Khoury.aspx〕 George's grandfather, Daoud Khoury, was also assassinated in an attack in Jerusalem, when a booby-trapped refrigerator exploded at Zion Square. Khoury was buried in the Christian cemetery on Mount Zion. He is survived by his parents, an older brother, and younger sister. ==References== 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「George Khoury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
