A “work accident” killed a Hamas terrorist—sorry, “policeman”—in Gaza yesterday. But read the article with me and watch the mysteries unfold.
A Hamas policeman was killed and several Palestinians were wounded Thursday night when an explosive device went off in a police station in Gaza City.
Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan said the device was found earlier in the day in the Hamas-controlled territory and was taken to the police station to be dismantled.
The bomb was put there, possibly by Fatah loyalists. Then again, there are so many terrorist groups wandering about Gaza these days, who knows who put the bomb in “Hamas-controlled territory” (which I thought was the entire Gaza Strip).
Here’s one of the things that makes you go Hmm:
While security men were taking the bomb apart, it exploded, causing several secondary blasts, Shahwan said.
“Several secondary blasts” indicates that there were other explosives at this “police station.” Now, I understand that the world is not all like America, but still, explosives aren’t generally kept in a police station where you’re attempting to disarm a bomb.
But here’s the other thing that makes you go Hmm:
Moaaya Hassaneen, director of the Health Ministry’s emergency department, told AFP named the policeman killed as Alaa Jihad al Ajna, 30, and said the incident occurred in a passport office in the center of Gaza City, and not in a police station.
So a “police officer” takes the unexploded bomb to a passport office in downtown Gaza—why, we’re not sure; perhaps he was going to get it papers so it could travel to Israel—attempts to disarm it, and it explodes. Causing “secondary explosions” at this, ah, passport office.
Really, is there truly anyone out there that doesn’t understand what a nest of terrorism Gaza is?
Oh. Wait. Yes, yes, there is.
In fact, there are lots of fools out there. A whole boatload of ’em.
A boat loaded with international protesters has arrived in the Gaza Strip to bring attention to Israel’s blockade of the Hamas-controlled territory.
The 27 passengers, coming together from 13 different countries include Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead McGuire, Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti, and Israeli leftist Gideon Spiro. Israeli MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad) who was reportedly supposed to join the voyage, was not present on the boat.
They are scheduled to remain in Gaza for four days.
The boat chartered by the US-based Free Gaza group sailed from the nearby island of Cyprus on Tuesday and arrived in Gaza in pouring rain early Wednesday.
I wonder if the ship of fools is aware of the incident at the “passport office.” After all, they’ll need passports if they want to get into Israel. I hope this doesn’t impact their ability to get out of Gaza, like it did Tony Blair’s sister-in-law. (Well, of course that was sarcasm. I hope they get stuck there for months.)
I guess that the passport office has a duty-free shop for one-way travel.

Including a leftist Israeli. Honestly, some people can’t recognize a wolf until it grasps their throat in its jaws. Blinded by the actinic glare of ideology. Sheesh.
One doesn’t take a bomb anywhere to disarm it if safety is your concern, you kill it where it is or maybe take it to an open area. Taking it to a building that mysteriously contains other explosive devices suggests that the nice policeman was hoping to preserve the bomb for his own purposes.
With their own bomb recycling centers, I suppose Hama really is “green.”
