| Paleos rally for release of PA-Identified Killers of US Citizens |
| 2004-02-20 |
| Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in Gaza City on Friday to urge President Yasser Arafat to free four militants who are on trial for the killing of three U.S. security guards last October. Dozens of armed and masked activists of the militant Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) were among those who marched to Gaza’s main prison where the suspects are being held in custody. Demonstrators accused the Palestinian Authority of bowing to pressure from the United States and Israel in holding the men. The suspects told a military court earlier this month they had nothing to do with the October 15 bomb attack against a U.S. diplomatic convoy in the Gaza Strip in which the three American guards were killed. The hastily convened hearing was called days after U.S. officials complained the Palestinian Authority had not cooperated fully in its investigation of the bombing. U.S. officials voiced dissatisfaction over the military proceedings and the Palestinian Authority announced the trial would continue in a civilian court, where the suspects would have better access to their lawyers. One of two things is true: 1. they believe these people committed the murder yet want them to be released anyway. If this is true then their behavior is akin to dancing in the streets on 9/11. 2. they don’t believe these people committed the murder and therefore believe it’s a travesty of justice. If this is true, why aren’t they trying to overthrow their own ineffectual, spineless, corrupt leaders!!?? |

| #2 thats easy PD = "their innocent, but the PA arrested them to assuage the evil Americans and Jews - no fault on Yasser" You cant get nearly as far with syllogisms as youd like there. |

| #1 thousands marched yet only dozens were masked militants? So much for the "innocent paleo civilians" caught in the crossfire. They are part of the problem and should suffer their fate - trapped in a stinking hellhole of civil war and sick, broken-down society with only their own to kill. A Death cult eating its own |
