Two Palestinians killed in Gaza Strip, Jenin | ||
2003-05-29 | ||
Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian during an incursion in the southern Gaza Strip Thursday and a member of the Islamic Jihad group in the West Bank. The violence came on the same day as Palestinian prime minister Mahmud Abbas is set to meet with his Israeli counterpart, Ariel Sharon, to discuss implementation of an internationally drafted Middle East peace "roadmap." Mohammed el-Kadra, 24, died when Israeli soldiers backed by tanks searched houses in the Gaza town of Khan Yunis. Relatives said Kadra had been wounded and was being carried to his house when Israeli soldiers intervened and shot him dead in a nearby street. The Israeli army said 29 people were arrested in the Khan Yunis sweep.

#8 This came as a revelation to me. Has this not been widely discussed of late or did I just miss it all? This has been known for a while. Why nobody is willing to string up Arafart for this is a mystery as well... |

#6 I'm reading David Frum's book on the President and came across a sentence stating that Arafat ordered the execution of our ambassador to Sudan, Cleo Noel, in 1973. This came as a revelation to me. Has this not been widely discussed of late or did I just miss it all? This continues to buttress my view that the Nobel Peace Prize, won by Arafat, is entirely driven by crass politics. Here's a link that goes into detail about it: http://middleeastinfo.org/article2094.html |

#5 Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite. You know what he had in mind when he designed the "peace prize." Arafat and his ilk certainly spurred enough export-driven demand for his product... |

#3 CC & VRWC, after checking with my Zionist overlords, they tell me Arafat has killed many westerners. Not himself (he would NEVER soil his hands) but he has financed many radical organizations that have killed U.S. Citizens. Now I am not sure what Alfred Nobel had in mind about this peace prize, but I am sure that Arafat does not fit that description. After this year when they gave it to Dimmy Carter for his Anti-U.S./Pro-Castro spewings, I can pretty much say that it's political. I heard that Saddam is in the race for next year (if he is still alive). |

#2 MusicMan, they'd probably bury their heads in the sand. |

#1 How does the Rachel Corrie brigade respond to the allegations/evidence that Arafat ordered the torture and execution of two of our diplomats? |
