| Palestinian seriously injured by grenade left behind by Israeli soldiers |

| Hey, sarge? Where do you want me to drop my grenades? Bethlehem – Ma'an – Eighteen-year-old Ala Ubayat was seriously injured in the West Bank city of Bethlehem when a grenade left behind by Israeli soldiers exploded in his hands, sources in the Palestinian police told Ma'an on Thursday. Oh, boy! A Jooo grenade! This'll impress the chicks! Bethlehem Police Chief Dawood Abu Ghaith said the man was seriously injured when he tried to split the grenade open using an electric cutting machine in his father's blacksmith workshop. Must've been trying to get at the prize inside... Ghaith added that police engineering unit rushed to the place and found another unexploded grenade, and defused it. Police have opened an investigation into the incident, he said. Well, let's see. Ya got a grenade, a power saw, and an idiot. Where do we start, Al-Muldoon? He blamed the Israelis for the explosion and warned Palestinian citizens to be careful when they find unexploded Israeli ordinance, urging them to inform the Palestinian police immediately when they find any suspect devices. Awwwww, look what Da Jooos made Ala do... Abu Ghaith said the Israeli soldiers deliberately leave behind such devices to tempt ordinary Palestinians to play with them and endanger their lives. Hmmmmmm...I doubt that's the plan, but it appears to be working. |

| #9 Maybe he thought he'd found a Kinder Eirer and was looking for the surprise inside the chocolate egg. He found it. |

| #4 That spin has precedence here in the US. The clinton administration included teenage gangbanger shootings in their count of children accidentally shot while playing with unsecured handguns. Some of the "children" were 25 years old... |

| #3 It's not like there aren't tens of thousands of grenades already in the hands of Paleos. |

| #2 They act like some innocent CHILD got hurt PLAYING with an evil Israeli trap. The child was 18, and his play involved power tools. With that in mind, I would guess the grenades were not left behind, on purpose or accidentally, but stolen. And that poor little Ala was working on his own bomb-making career. Guess now he'll have to apprentice to Hook in Muslim preaching. Maybe he caught enough shrapnel in the right place to earn him a Darwin Award? |

| #1 He blamed the Israelis for the explosion Because it just couldn't have been the idiot with the electric cutting machine. Abu Ghaith said the Israeli soldiers deliberately leave behind such devices to tempt ordinary Palestinians to play with them and endanger their lives. That's because he acknowledges muslims have no control on their own acts, it's the others (infidels, wimmen) who must make efforts to prevent them from doing bad stuff. OTOH, I don't think the idea the average paleos are unsavvy and therefore fascinated with weaponry holds much water... |
