Israel deports West Bank prisoner to Gaza
2010-04-22
RAMALLAH, West Bank - Israel deported a Palestinian prisoner to the Gaza Strip instead of releasing him to his West Bank home, the man and Palestinian officials said, charging Israel with using controversial new military orders.
"Out you go, Shorty! And don't come back!"
So, Ahmad, wanna be a wise ass, huh? Wanna mouth off and throw shit at us, huh?
The prisoner, Ahmad Sabah, 40, was refusing to leave the Palestinian side of the main crossing between Israel and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
Any man who backsass, get sent to Gaza. Any man loud talking, get sent to Gaza. Any man playing grab ass, get sent to Gaza. Any man...
Unless he's Gazan, in which case he gets sent to the West Bank. Fair and balanced, donchaknow.
"It is inhumane what they are doing. He has no connection to Gaza, no relatives there, nothing," said Issa Qaraqi, the minister of prisoner affairs in the government of the Western-backed Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.
Do the crime, do the time ...
He won't have connections to get a job, or a flat... but no doubt the UN Refugee thingy will take care of him, just as they would have in the West Bank. So Mr. Sabah won't starve or freeze at night under a bridge.
Qaraqi claimed Israel was implementing a new set of military orders that critics fear could lead to mass deportations from the occupied West Bank.
In a normal world that would lead to modifications of Paleo behavior. But this is bizarro world so we can count on the Paleos to be stupid ...
Actually, it came out that this is an old set of Israeli military orders. It was just new to Ha'aretz, oh-so-clever stupids that they are.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Did they need to?
Well, let's just say Ahmad didn't get his mind right...
Israel denies it plans to carry out mass expulsions, saying the new orders that came into effect last week concern only people staying in the West Bank illegally and that the changes will allow oversight of deportation orders.

Family members said Sabah was born in Jordan and since returning to the West Bank had lived in the town of Tulkarem with his wife and family. However, his ID document was issed in Gaza.
That makes him a Gazook ...
They said they were waiting for him to be released on Wednesday at a West Bank crossing, when other prisoners said he had been sent to Gaza.

Sabah was refusing to leave the Erez crossing into Gaza. "It is my right to return to my wife and family," he told AFP.
"And to blow up stuff! And kill Jooozs!" he added.
That's juices, according to the latest parlance. I've no idea why -- it's not any more clever than the previous usage, Hinjoos.

#6  Lex, I believe the ladies in the "Bye, bye, sucka" photo are Philapino.

They don't look very Chinese to me. (Of course, they could be - China is a big place.)
