Israeli court finds Barghuthi guilty
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/429B3AE1-5AED-4DED-9440-6434411904ED.htm

His verdict comes at a time of high tension as Israeli occupation troops wage a bloody invasion in the occupied Gaza Strip refugee camp of Rafah which has left at least 46 Palestinians dead. The majority of those killed have been civilians.

"As a political prisoner his popularity has surged more than ever before to the level of a Nelson Mandela," Fatah lawmaker Qaddura Faris said, referring to the iconic South African former president who emerged from prison to defeat apartheid.

Supporters believe that finding Barghuthi guilty would only bolster him.

"I am against killing innocents. But ... I am proud of the resistance to Israeli occupation. To die is better than living under occupation," Barghuthi told prosecutors at one hearing.

``In most of the cases, Barghouti didn't know when an attack would take place because that's how he chose to operate,'' the verdict said. ``He knew his people were carrying out terror activities but he didn't know when.''
