| Suspect held over lynching | |
| 2003-05-10 | |
Israeli troops operating near the West Bank town of Ramallah yesterday arrested a member of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement who allegedly took part in the lynching of two Israeli soldiers at the start of the Palestinian uprising. Adel Rahim Hamed was arrested in Silwad village which lies some 6km northeast of Ramallah on suspicion of having planned and carried out numerous shooting attacks close to the Jewish settlement of Ofra. The army also believes Hamed was involved in the infamous mob lynching of two Israeli reservists which took place in Ramallah in October 2000, just two weeks after the start of the Palestinian intifada, or uprising. In the months following the lynching, troops arrested over a dozen Palestinians suspected of involvement in the killings — two of whom were tried in military court in February 2001. The lynching, which was captured on television, caused widespread outrage in Israel and provoked strong statements from the Israeli government which vowed it would hunt down and capture those involved.

| #2 The Islamofascist pope - Imam Tantawi of al-Azhar University, Cairo - is pointing the finger for Arab Muslim social idiiocy, at everyone except the fanatic idiots of his own pack of social parasites. One cannot win a counter-terror war against Muslims without killing wild animals like Tantawi, who fatwahed jihad against the Coalition in GW2. Last December, he ordered Muslims to develop nuclear weapons. Last Summer, he endorsed suicide-massacre against Israeli citizens. http://english.daralhayat.com/arab_news/10-05-2003/Article-20030510-12e17111-c0a8-01fc-0029-a32cc2e179da/story.html Tantawi has preached genocide against Americans, from the al-Azhar mosque. If Bush Junior wasn't a doormat to the Islam-is-peace mob, he would turn al-Azhar into a pile of rubble. |

| #1 they don't forget, do they? How many survivors of the Olympic Massacre are there? like 1? It's a policy to be admired and emulated. Those assholes that despoiled the Church of the Nativity should be dead soon as well, not giving press conferences demanding to come home |
