Hamas: Soldier killed by Egyptian bullet, not Palestinian
2010-01-10
[Ma'an] Hamas members were not behind the shooting death of an Egyptian soldier during protests that turned violent earlier int he week, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Ma'an on Saturday.

"Hamas has information that confirms the Egyptian soldier was shot by the Egyptian forces opening fire at Palestinian protesting the attack against the Lifeline [British Member of Parliament George Galloway's] convoy," the official said.

The de facto Ministry of Interior, Abu Zuhri said, has undertaken investigations into the incident, the results of which will be announced upon completion.

"We shall not forget that 35 Palestinians were injured during the recent clashes with the Egyptian forces, including two deaths," the spokesman said.
"We shall have Dire Revenge™!"
Abu Zuhri accused the Egyptian authorities of using the death of the Egyptian solider in the media to cover up the construction of the US funded steel wall, aimed at curbing the Gaza smuggling tunnel industry.

Hamas officials have been in contact with Egypt to contain the crisis, he said, adding that "it is clear that the relationship between Hamas and Cairo needs a special meeting to organize the basics of the relation and alleviate recent developments, which were caused by the steel wall decision."

The Egyptian media reacts
Meanwhile, the Egyptian daily Al-Jumhouriya described Hamas a gang on its front page. "We were surprised that the Gazan candidates turned into a gang that rules with metal and fire, benefiting from the smuggling of drugs, Viagra and food."
The Gazans need Viagra? That would explain the missing million in Palestinian population numbers.
"If we leave the Gaza gang to continue out of control, they will bring Al-Qaeda to the Sinai," said editor-in-chief of the daily Muhammad Ali Ibrahim.

"We tell this Gaza gang that claims heroism, whose officials sleep in palaces in Damascus and eat the best food on earth, while leaving their people without food and shelter, that it is time to be questioned. History has never witnessed such a gang that imposes its opinion on a country."

#4  Palestinians don't create their own bullets, ergo, it was an Egyptian bullet smuggled in that kilt Abdul

Yep we raided the Egyptian armory and stole a whole buncha THEIR ammo, so we know what he was shot with.
We know you Can't tell the bullets apart, so our claims (no matter how weird) MUST be true.
