In all things victim, the Palestinians like to pretend that they’re “the new Jews.” When it comes to Israeli actions, why, the Palestinians are the Jews, the Israelis are the Nazis, or so goes the conventional wisdom in the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian crowd.
Except when it comes to being fired on by their Arab brothers. “Hey! We’re not Jews!” they say.
In the past 48 hours 19 Palestinians have been killed, tossed from rooftops, executed at point-blank range, and shot in hospital wards. That number seems certain to rise. More than 80 Palestinians have now been killed since mid May.
Among yesterday’s dead was a 14-year-old boy and three women, all killed in a Hamas attack on a Fatah security officer’s home.
“They’re firing at us, firing RPGs, firing mortars. We’re not Jews,” the brother of Jamal Abu Jediyan, a Fatah commander, pleaded during a live telephone conversation with a Palestinian radio station.
Minutes later both men were dragged into the streets and riddled with bullets.
The fighting has spread to the West Bank where Fatah militants from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades kidnapped a deputy minister from Hamas and seized control of a Hamas-run TV station.
Terje Roed-Larsen, the UN envoy to the Middle East, said: “The picture which emerges is very dark, and apparently getting darker. There are reasons for real concerns in the international community.”
Funny how Terje Roed the Toad hasn’t got a thing to say about all the killing going on here, and yet, was one of the main architects of the “Jenin massacre” lie. Although I suppose we should be grateful that he’s managed to notice the tons of arms being smuggled into Lebanon.
I guess it’s not a “massacre” if the Palestinians are killing each other. What time is it, kiddies? That’s right. Israeli Double Standard Time.
A pox on the Toad Meryl !!
“We’re not Jews!”
This guy didn’t get the right training. He’s supposed to say, “We’re not Zionists!” or “We’re not Israelis!” because, after all they respect and love Jews, it’s just those Jews twisted by Zionism that they hate.
The international media will pick up on this and use it to demonstrate the Palestinians’ hatred for Jews as Jews…well, it could happen.
How’s the “we’re not Jews” thing working out for you, Achmed?
Not so much, I guess.
80 Palestinian Arabs killed since mid-May by other Palestinian Arabs? That is greater than the total number of actual dead from both sides at Jenin, which was 23 Israelis and (according to the Palestinian Arab PA itself) 56 Arabs (52 according to Israel).
