So while Abbas and Qurei and various other Palestinian leaders drone on about final status issues, Jerusalem, insisting on moving back to the 1949 Armistice lines (a.k.a. “pre-1967 borders”), UN resolutions, yadda yadda, blah blah blah, ad nauseum, the Palestinians, well, they just keep on killin’. Or trying to. And they don’t care how many of their own get caught in the crossfire.
IDF soldiers on Tuesday morning killed the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades commander in the old city of Nablus, Bassam Abu-Seria, also known as Gaddafi, Palestinian sources reported.
The sources added that a Palestinian civilian in his seventies was shot to death as he left his home and that three other group members were injured.
[…] According to the source, Shakher al-Wazir, a Palestinian civilian in his seventies, was killed in the exchanges of fire after being shot near his house. The Palestinians claimed that he was forced to leave his home due to the clashes and was caught in the exchanges of fire between the soldiers and the gunmen hiding in the building.
You got that? The terrorists forced the civilians out of their homes into the middle of a gun battle. Why? Propaganda value if they were killed, protection for the terrorists in any case. And there’s the lack of respect for the lives of their own people. Just the other day, Palestinian “police”murdered a five-year-old boy, and nobody noticed.
Palestinian Authority security forces shot dead two Palestinians on Saturday, including a five-year-old boy, in the West Bank city of Qalqilyah.
According to local resident, security forces opened fire after a 22-year-old man refused to stop at a PA roadblock in the city. The 22-year-old man was killed, as was five-year-old Yazid Obid.
Funny, when American soldiers kill two women at a checkpoint in Iraq, it makes the headlines worldwide. When an errant Israeli shell kills civilians in Gaza, the world comes down on Israel in loud, angry condemnation, often involving the UN. When the Palestinians kill their own children—no one cares. It’s simply not newsworthy.
Because the IDF didn’t do it.
Yet another example of the anti-Israel media bias and Israel Derangement Syndrome.
Meryl:
This morning, the ‘ever-accurate’ BBC was reporting that the 70 year-old Palestinian civilian was murdered (killed?) by the IDF.
I haven’t bothered checking the BBC website, but I somehow doubt that the ‘ever-innocent’ Palestinian (Terror) Authority will ever be blamed for this atrocity.
The world yawns perhaps because Palestinians killing anyone – Palestinians or otherwise – is a “dog bites man” story and not worth reporting.
