MP Richard Burden opened a debate on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by noting Asleh's recent death and the lack of autopsy and investigation to that point. Further protests In February 2008, members of Seeds of Peace led a protest in front of Israel's Ministry of Justice demanding that it reopen the investigation into the October 2000 events, specifically the killing of Asleh. The protesters also sent letters to Attorney General Menahem Mazuz and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert asking if the case would have been reopened if the victims had been Jews. On September 30, 2010, 6,000 Arab citizens of Israel and supporters led a procession marking the 10 year anniversary of the 13 Arabs killed in October 2000. The protesters called on officials to try the police officers involved in the killings. Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi said "These past 10 years have been filled with anger and pain for the victims' families, and for the general Arab public. They represent a black mark on the history of the State of Israel," On 1 October, the Arab Higher Monitoring Committee declared a one-day strike to commemorate the youth.
