Palestinian Authority Terrorists Use Female Shields Against IDF
2006-11-03
I think it's a positive move by the paleo society, one step up from killing your daughter because she has deshonored you by letting herself be raped by her brothers. See, islam CAN make progress!

Palestinian Authority terrorists used women to protect them from arrest by IDF soldiers – at the cost of life -- on Friday. One woman died in Gaza.

Arab women in northern Gaza were urged in a radio broadcast Friday morning to go to a mosque in Beit Hanoun to serve as ‘human shields’ for gunmen holed up in the Muslim religious building surrounded by IDF forces.

According to military sources a number of Arab terrorists who were wanted for Kassam rocket attacks had taken refuge in the mosque, which was also used as a storehouse for weapons and other materials.

The women rushed to the building despite the exchange of gunfire between the terrorists and IDF soldiers. Local sources claimed that IDF soldiers opened fire on the women, killing one and wounding ten others. An army spokesman explained that the soldiers had exchanged gunfire with terrorists standing among the women rioters at the scene.

Meanwhile, Israeli special forces surrounded a house in Bethlehem on Friday and ordered the terrorists to surrender. The armed Arabs opened fire and in an ensuing shootout, one soldier was wounded by a ricocheted bullet and evacuated to a hospital in light to moderate condition. Two IDF companies provided backup for the front unit.

Arab sources say that one woman was killed in the gunfire, but the IDF spokesman said that it could not confirm that its soldiers had hit any bystanders.

#16  Seriously, who cares?

Well, RC, I care. I'm glad for it. I've gone over the tipping point. But I'll try not to post it, since the Mods don't need the irritation.

#14  All jihadis are part of some peace organization, don't you know, it's called Islam.

#13  In a crawl (on Fox News I believe) that I saw this morning they were trying to say the woman killed was part of some peace organization

Good.

Or is that impolitic to say?

She's real peaceful now. All the Palestinians should be so peaceful.

#8  Anyone stupid or evil enough to offer themselves up as a shield for terrorists needs to die. Period. This is one Rule of Engagement that must change forever when dealing with terrorists. If killing a single human shield ensures the death of a terrorist who would kill hundreds, then so be it. Due to their voluntary participation, these women were nothing more than accomplices. All of them should have taken the dirt nap.

#7  Shouldn't that be "one terrorist factory" was killed in the cross-fire?

#5  The fact that a thousand muslim women are killed while shielding our fighters while they run away and hide interests me only to the extent that the fighters got away and are in hiding.

You mean they didn't stop and desist when the women decided to get in the way? I'm shocked! Somebody actually has the sense to keep firing! I wonder if after they first women went down, the rest tried to get out of the way?

#3  No suprise here. Muhamhead (piece of pork be upon him) taught that women are worthless cattle. Why would Muslim men think anything different?

#2  What's the Sheriff system?
Posted by: Jules   2006-11-03 09:16  

#1  I think the Israelis are keeping the Sheriff system in reserve against the Paleo tactic of running a herd of women and children against Israeli military positions. They don't want to use it for small stuff like this, figuring it will allow the Paleos to develop a counter-tactic.
