| [Ma'an] Paleostinians may not be responsible for killing a family of five Israelis in Itamar settlement overnight Friday, the Gazoo government said Sunday. Israeli authorities immediately blamed Paleostinians for the attack, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Paleostinian Authority of "daily incitement" against Israel in his response to the killings. However, The well-oiled However... Gazoo government front man Taher An-Nunu said the Israeli government should not rule out the possibility that the attack was perpetrated by Israeli criminals.
A shadowy faction calling itself the "Imad Mughniyya Group" grabbed credit for the attack but Israeli authorities have dismissed the group's claims in the past. It has grabbed credit for other operations in the past that may have been the work of others. So far, no other faction has claimed involvement. An-Nunu warned Israel against using the killings to justify an escalation in violence against the Gazoo Strip. He said that relocating Israel's domestic crises toward incitement against Paleostinians was "unacceptable political blackmail." Within 24 hours of the attack, Israeli ministers met and decided to approve a huge expansion in Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank. Settlers have launched a series of attacks on Paleostinians across the West Bank, storming villages, harassing residents in their homes, smashing shops and throwing rocks at Paleostinian cars. The international community recognizes that building Jewish-only housing on occupied Paleostinian land is illegal according to international law and the Geneva Convention, and has repeatedly called on Israel to halt construction. Israel's refusal led to the collapse of the last round of negotiations in September. | |

| #1 May be Israeli, may be Pali. But I'd bet dollars to doughnuts they're Muslim. |
