German doctors amputate leg of Palestinian legislator

HAARETZ: German doctors amputate leg of Palestinian legislator

German surgeons have amputated the leg of Palestinian legislator Nabil Amr, who was shot by masked gunmen on the night of July 20th in his Ramallah home, family and colleagues of the former minister said on Thursday.

They said Amr's right leg was amputated from the knee down due to severe nerve and muscle damage from two bullets fired through a window of his Ramallah home minutes after his return from a television interview where he criticized Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.

Arafat has called off an investigation into the attack and has blamed Israel for shooting Amr.

(When Nabil gets back home, I think he's going to be hopping mad that the investigation's been called off.)

Historically Israel does not fire bullets into peoples homes in the dead of night wounding the occupants inside, they are more of the "whirling gunships at night" firing rockets that completely demolish's the home and kills all the occupants inside. IDF's history is one of overkill. I mean they blew up a 90 year old man in a wheelchair using a apache gunship fer christsakes (although the bastard needed killin).

All of this of course is lost on the fanatical islamic mindset: Assasination attempt? must be the jews, Suicide bomb? jews did it to get sympathy, 911? Jews, Hemeroids? Jews have put ass itching powder in our Shwarma's, Stubbed toe? Some damn jew snuck into my house and moved this chair 2 inches out of place to hurt my foot!!!

totally unrelated, but your article appears right above an article titled 'How do you say Mengele in Korean'. What were the chances? ;)

there's a comment on the Corner that sums this one up perfectly: Disagree with Arafat, lose a leg.
