| Paleos bitch about Tulkarm carnage... |
| 2002-11-21 |
| As eyewitness reports become available, it is becoming clear that the killings that were carried out in Tulkarm On Tuesday, November 19th may be categorized as extra-judicial assassinations. According to residents who witnessed the following events, Israeli forces invaded the West Bank town of Tulkarm at 4:40 pm, when the daily fast for the holy month of Ramadan was coming to a close. According to eyewitness reports, a group of Mustaribeen, (Special Israeli forces who disguise themselves as Palestinians) infiltrated the center of the town. Ooooh. Damn. Using the Paleos' own tactics against them? Bet that causes the old kefiyeh to smoke... The disguised soldiers, wearing civilian clothing surrounded an apartment inhabited by Palestinian Hardly felt a thing, did you, Alam? Enjoy your virgins, now... According to the human rights group, LAW, the activists attempted to flee, "I quit! I ain't playin' no more!" when the Mustaribeen opened fire on them, shooting 20 year old Tareq Zaghal, who fell on the ground. The Mustaribeen surrounded him, and once they had confirmed his identity, they shot him in the neck, killing him instantly. Medical sources at Dr. Thabet hospital confirmed that Zaghal's hands were tied behind his back. It appeared that he was shot in the neck after his hands had been tied behind his back. Terrible. Just terrible. It doesn't make much sense, but I believe every word of it... After a short amount of time, Israeli troops arrived to assist the Mustaribeen, and opened fire at any moving object. At that time, they opened fire on 30 year old Ziyad Mashaqi a security guard. He received a bullet wound to the neck and was killed instantly. "He was just sittin' there, mindin' his own business, when all of a sudden..." At around 5:30 in the evening, Ahmad Jayyousi (37) was returning home in a taxi driven by Shaban Badeer (30). Israeli forces also opened fire on them without warning. Jayyousi was shot in the neck and hands. Badeer was shot in the chest and shoulders. Both were killed instantly. Just opened fire on them for no reason at all, huh? 10 other civilians were injured, including five children, one of whom was arrested and taken to an unknown destination. I have the vision of five 6-year-olds being dragged off screaming to some Israeli dungeon. More likely, the "children" are 15- and 16-year-olds with minor explosives... |
