Palestinian boy nabbed with 20 firebombs

JERUSALEM POST: Palestinian boy nabbed with 20 firebombs

IDF forces nabbed a 15-year-old Palestinian with 20 firebombs in his possession, two lit and read for use after a short chase on Sunday evening. The soldiers spotted the Palestinian monitoring the vehicles on Road 60 near Homesh and set out in pursuit capturing him shortly after.

Also, an indictment against the "retard" bomber from a few weeks back.

Is a firebomb like a Molotov cocktail? If it is he must have lit two ready to chuck at soldiers once he saw he was cornered, otherwise I can't picture two lit Molotov cocktails in his car. Great stuff from the IDF.

5-year-old girl injured by Israeli tank fire

He saw an Israeli tank in the road ahead of him. He turned to the right, onto his street. His five year old daughter, Batool, turned around to watch the tank. The tank fired several shots which went through his car, the car seat and into his daughter’s chest. He kept driving to the hospital. An ambulance was in the area; the tank smashed it, crumpling its wheels.

Update: Diya' Abd el Kareem Eid Martyred in Biddu

Diya' was shot in the chest, and taken by ambulance to Maqased Hospital in Jerusalem in critical condition, succumbing to his wounds shortly thereafter. The people from Biddu report that even now (10:30pm local time) the bulldozers continue to work clearing the village lands for the Wall's path.

The IDF are terrorists also, they terrorize the Palestinians. They shoot missles into public streets. How many children has the IDF killed or wounded? Do any of you know? Does it matter to you?

Here's Data on the casualties for both sides for
27 September 2000 through 23 March 2004

Looks like the Palestinians are much better at killing women. And a WHOLE lot better at killing people on their own side than the Israelis.

Note usually this last group is counted against the Israelis. I don't think it very fair to charge deaths of Palestinians BY Palestinians against the IDF do you?

"The IDF are terrorists also, they terrorize the Palestinians"

hMMM. When was the last time a member of the IDF strapped on a suicide belt and stepped on a bus filled with Palestinian school children?

Oh, that's right.

Never.

I can't understand where all these apologists for terror come from. What the hell kind of universe do they live in. 'Dream' must believe in the 72 Virgins. When a group foments terror instead of fighting against it, they become vulnerable. With hundreds of thousands in the streets vowing death to Israel, and now the USA, they themselves must understand they are targets. You must deal with the consequences, instead of putting on your raghat and going in front of CNN's cameras and crying to high heaven!! Sorry, but I have no pity for the women show send their children to death and then fricken cry about it. Reminds me of the liberal women who are willing to abort on demand!!

The Palestinians are being punished for the sins of a few. Is it fair if Israel treats all refugees in the Occupied Territories as terrorists? Do you believe that the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian?

So far Israel has fired missles at an old man in wheelchair and now at a moderate, educated, secular Hamas leader who was already wounded in a previous missle attack.

Sharon is a man who hates the Palestinians and hides behind Bush's support. His only mission in life is to draw the Palestinians into a dead end position where the only choices they have are those of desperation. Then he can show the world that the Palestinians are inhuman, and he can be justifed to do what he sees fit with them.

I don't think anyone here knows, except for Palestinians, how it is to live under Israeli occupation for the past few generations.

Dream,

You really support these Demons? If so, that tells all of us what you are. They were insane BLATANT KILLERS who bragged about the Jews and others they killed. They VOWED to TOTALLY ELIMINATE Israel. It is easily seen in their words and writings. There is NOT NOW and Never has been a DECENT HUMAN in Hamas. So, there is only one solution for people like that. You figure it out!

The only hate I hear is your voice. There are extremists on both sides - however, the extremists on the Israeli side have "legitmacy" in the US, due to the media being mostly Jewish owned - its a fact, kids.

The Israeli lobby in the US is the single most powerful foreign political lobby in the country. It's also the only quasireligious one - since it's the only religious state organization.

It's truly sad when people cannot recognize injustice - because the fragile walls of their reality would break down if they were to admit, for one moment, that not everything they have been conditioned to believe is God's own Truth™.

Good luck, and I pity your souls..

ROFL, ok i actually have a hand on the pulse of that industry (health care), and while i have seen and heard some of the strangest shit from all sides of the fence, i have yet in my 15 years of wading through liberals have EVER heard of women "willing to abort on demand"! Oh sure theyll protest, scream, call you, and picket the hell outa ya, but getting knocked up and aborting the bun in the oven for the cause? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaHAhahahahah ok your fucked in the head dude, and the people who would believe that? you guessed it, fucked in the head too. Both sides of that debate have some really good arguements to make against each other without having to resort to lame shit like that. What do you think these women are? muslim fanatics?

dream - do you believe the occupation is the palistinian's biggest problem? I think it's way down the list.

How many Palestinians are there that are not ready to strap a bomb to his body to kill as many innocent people as he can?
