Some gray suited insider hack will get the job. Some uninspiring apparatchik who says all the ferocious progressive words w/o meaning any of them. Hallelujah!
Those oppressive freedom speaking Jews, just trying confuse us with their Jew mind control.
Egypt prevented hundreds of people from protesting Israel's “Cast Lead” operation in Gaza on Monday, according to Reuters. The Muslim Brotherhood had organized a protest in the capital city of Cairo.
Police scattered the would-be demonstrators, arresting dozens. Several others were arrested when they attempted to regroup and hold the demonstration elsewhere in the city.
A similar demonstration was blocked on Friday, and 20 members of the Muslims Brotherhood were arrested. The group is ideologically linked to Hamas, and both groups call for a world-wide Islamic Caliphate.
Israel has allowed several large Muslim rallies opposing the operation in Gaza, including large demonstrations where protesters have waved PLO banners and called out, “With our blood we will free you, Palestine.”
Protesters marched this week in Sakhnin and Tel Aviv in protest of the operation. Arab Members of Knesset attended both events and accused the government of war crimes.
On Monday, Israeli police guarded several hundred demonstrators as they marched through the streets of Haifa in protest of the Gaza operation.
Let them duck and get shot at like everyone else. They're going to complain either way, anyhow. It wouldn't matter if there were 2 or 3 or 4 sources confirming what appears now to a be gun battle at the UN school where Hamas fighters were firing mortars at troops from within the school. It wouldn't matter who confirmed that. You'd not believe it or ignore it.
PS about 5 years ago a BBC stringer got in the middle of a firefight and was killed. His family sued the IDF and won. Because you know, wearing a "Press" badge is supposed to make you bulletproof in the midst of 40 people shooting at each other. It doesn't even matter who shot whom. It's the Jews' fault.
We here in the comfy west consider anyone, even some thug lugging a gun, a child if they're 17 or younger. In much of the world including the middle east, that age is somewhat lower. Hamas trains 'children' to be fighters at an early age. They're even proud of slapping up Youtubes that show 12, 13, 14 year olds practicing with assault rifles. If a 12 year old is pointing a gun at me I will blow his head off. You? Maybe not. We'll send flowers to your dog.
