Deep in the bottom of this AP report about Israel warning its military officers to be cautious about Hamas kidnapping plots while traveling overseas, we read this:
On Monday, an Israeli court indicted two suspected Hamas members on charges they plotted attacks against civilian targets across Israel.
Marad Kamel, 24, and Marad Namr, 25, allegedly were recruited by Hamas while living in Jordan, Israel’s Shin Bet internal intelligence agency said. The targets included central bus stations in Beer Sheva and Jerusalem, a Jerusalem mall, Tel Aviv’s hotel district and a military base in the Tel Aviv area, the agency said.
That’s called “Burying the lede.” The Jerusalem Post lede:
Two Arabs from east Jerusalem were arrested for allegedly enlisting in Hamas and gathering intelligence on potential targets for terror attacks inside Israel, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed on Monday.
The two Israeli identity card holders – Marad Namer, 25, from Sur Baher, and Marad Kamal, 24, of Wadi Joz – were arrested on January 3 in the Beersheba central bus station. They were allegedly in possession of digitized intelligence information pertaining to various places in Israel that they had gathered on behalf of Hamas for the planning of terror attacks.
During their interrogations, the two said that they were recruited by Hamas during work and studies in Jordan and Dubai.
Funny how many stories the wire services manage to put out on Israel’s actions in Gaza and the reactions of the world to those actions, and yet, barely a mention of two Israeli Arabs—Israeli citizens, with ID cards that allow them to travel freely throughout the Jewish State—plotting with Hamas to murder their fellow Israelis. So, how many stories did the AP run about the Israeli terrorists going after Arabs? At least one more than this.
Curiously, if Israel in fact were an apartheid state, these two would have been unable to roam the country freely, plotting what they would.
