In one of the most unsurprising developments ever, the IDF arrested a Palestinian terrorist who signed the amnesty agreement—in the act of smuggling bullets. The surprising thing to me, though, is that they let him go. I suppose I should be more jaded than that, but I’m not.
The incident in question occurred on Wednesday at 8:30 pm when the IDF stopped what security sources said were four suspicious Palestinians entering the al-Badin checkpoint outside the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Two Palestinians were immediately let go when it was determined they were civilians, but the two others – known Brigades members – were detained after they were found to be carrying large quantities of bullets security sources said were being smuggled from Jenin to Nablus.
According to security sources, one of the detained Brigades members – who normally resides in Jenin and had pledged to remain there another two months in line with the amnesty agreement – told the IDF repeatedly he was on Israel’s amnesty list and that arresting him would “blow up” relations with the PA.
After consulting with superiors, the IDF released the Brigades member on the amnesty list but arrested the other gunman.
Asked to comment, the IDF did not deny the incident:”We make our arrests in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and the different agreements with the PA,” said an IDF spokesperson.
An Israeli security official told WND this was not the first time Brigades members granted amnesty violated their agreement to refrain from terrorism. He said the military was aware of one incident last month in which a Brigades gunman on the list shot at Israeli forces.
“We now have a situation in which a terrorist organization has been given a get-out-of-jail-free card – literally,” the official fumed.
And the beat goes on. What’s old is new again. Same-old, same-old. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Tired of this crap yet?
Yeah, me too.
Olmert is proving to be the biggest moron since Shimon Peres. Oh, wait. Peres is now the President of Israel. I wonder if this shamnesty agreement was his idea?
Not moron that insults those people who are handicapped intellectually. These people are morally and spiritually on a lower lever of their own free choice. They are just like the people who send out suicide bombers in order to destroy Judaism and the Jews.
