Shooting Palestinians Like Fish in a Barrel
By Kurt Nimmo

-- -- Best write this while I can, because the Local
Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005 has passed
in the House (thus eliminating once and for all the First
Amendment), and I will not be allowed to criticize the criminal
state of Israel (or for that matter America) much longer…
Now that Israel has “evacuated” Gaza, it appears set on a
policy of bombing the place mercilessly. “Israeli aircraft
unleashed a barrage of missiles early Wednesday and fired
artillery into the Gaza Strip for the first time, pushing forward
with an offensive despite a pledge by Islamic militants to halt
their recent rocket attacks against Israel,” reports the Associated
Press. “Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said the army
would attack Palestinian militants relentlessly to force them to
stop firing rockets at Israeli towns.”
It’s simply amazing how stupid “Islamic militants”
are—shooting missiles willy-nilly at one the most powerful and
ruthless military forces in the world with absolutely no chance of
making any kind of progress toward a Palestinian state. It’s as
if they are asking to have their wives, children, mothers and
fathers butchered in order to thumb their noses at the Israelis.
Now that the Israelis have cleared out of Gaza, the IDF can shoot
at will, killing Palestinians like fish in a barrel.
“The fifth straight day of airstrikes came hours after
Islamic Jihad militants on Tuesday declared a halt to their recent
rocket attacks, and armed Palestinian groups pledged to honor a
tattered cease-fire, seeking to end the Israeli offensive,”
notes the Associated Press. “Tensions were further inflamed when
Hamas militants released a video showing a bound and blindfolded
Israeli businessman whom they kidnapped and later killed. The
kidnapping appeared to signal a new tactic in the militants’
fight against Israel.”
Such arbitrary barbarism and cruelty—the pointless murder of
the businessman, not the pre-dawn helicopter raids against a
sleeping Jabaliya refugee camp in the north of Gaza, of course
completely justified (no matter how many kids were blown to
smithereens) because Hamas worked tirelessly making missiles in
factories, or so we are told—is so stupid and counter-productive
as to be suspicious.
It really seems like an exercise in futility to mention (for
the umpteen time) Israel’s support for Hamas “was a direct
attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO by
using a competing religious alternative,” as Richard
Sale reported years ago (no doubt Mr. Sale will have to change
his tune soon enough or lose his job—sacked for
anti-Semitism—maybe become a blogger like the rest of us).
“According to [Israel-based Institute for Counter Terrorism]
papers, Hamas was legally registered in Israel in 1978 by Sheikh
Ahmed Yassin, the movement’s spiritual leader, as an Islamic
Association by the name Al-Mujamma al Islami, which widened its
base of supporters and sympathizers by religious propaganda and
social work…. One U.S. intelligence source who asked not to be
named said that not only was Hamas being funded as a
‘counterweight’ to the PLO, Israeli aid had another purpose:
‘To help identify and channel towards Israeli agents Hamas
members who were dangerous terrorists,’” according to Sale.
Obviously, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was of little use after a few
years—the elderly wheelchair bound cleric was killed a while
back by an Israeli missile (fired from an American-made Apache
helicopter) as he returned from prayers at the local mosque.
Naturally, the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing,
vowed revenge, thus perpetuating a cycle of mindless violence. If
not for the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades and others, Israel would
have a bit more difficulty killing Palestinians—not much, but
some.
So violently crazed is Hamas, they apparently kill their own.
“The Fatah faction of Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas has blamed
the resistance group Hamas for the deadly blast at a military
parade in Gaza that killed at least 19 people and wounded 80
others,” al-Jazeera
reported last weekend. “The massive blast on Friday ripped
through the Jabaliya refugee camp as throngs of people celebrated
Israel’s recent withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, just hours after
Israeli troops shot dead three Palestinians in the West Bank…
[A] jeep was ferrying men from the Islamist movement’s armed
wing to the open space earmarked for the festivities, when it
exploded, sending mangled body parts of fighters, children and
bystanders flying.” In short, Hamas is nearly as effective at
killing fellow Palestinians as are the Israelis.
And then there was that fake “al-Qaeda” terrorist cell in
Gaza set up by Mossad. “There are certain elements who were
instructed by the Mossad to form a cell under the name of Al Qaeda
in the Gaza Strip in order to justify the assault and the military
campaigns of the Israeli occupation army against Gaza,”
Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo told Reuters.
But then, of course, we should assume Yasser Abed Rabbo is a
liar, as Ariel Sharon’s office basically claimed soon after the
“al-Qaeda” patsies were rounded up and paraded before the
media—or the media that bothered to pay attention.
Now that it is considered a “hate crime” to criticize the
Israeli government, the media will report even less about the
murder of Palestinians. Of course, this is exactly what the
Likudites in Israel want—to intimidate, harass, exile, and
murder the Palestinians under a cover of darkness and secrecy,
thus moving ever closer to their racist dream of a state swept
clean of Arabs, as their Old Testament God of retribution (and
genocide) saw fit.
It is now a crime to condemn the shooting of Palestinians as if
they were fish in a barrel.
