#2 And here's how the Pali's see it. Basically, Abdul was either as pure as the driven snow or a Fatah hero. They haven't decided yet.

Bethlehem Ma'an A Palestinian university student was killed by an Israeli settler at a hitchiking post on Route 60 near the Shilo Israeli settlement between Nablus and Ramallah in the northern West Bank on Monday, Israeli and Palestinian security sources said.

Palestinian security sources said 22-year-old Abdul-Latif Hurub from the southern West Bank town of Khras west of Hebron was shot and killed by an Israeli settler.

Local sources told Ma'an's reporter in Hebron that Israeli forces ransacked the victim's family house after his death.

Hurub was studying Business Administration at Birzeit University near Ramallah. On Tuesday, students from Birzeit University told Ma'an that Israeli forces broke into the student dormitory where Hurub had been living. They evacuated all the students and inspected the building.

For its part, Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigades claimed that one of their activists was killed as he attempted to grab a rifle from an Israeli soldier near the Shilo settlement.

#6 Isn't this one of those things you are supposed to learn in kindergarten? I distinctly recall Ms. Jenks say over and over again, NO STABBING!

Actually tu3031, an average Paleo (not sure about all Muslims) is perfectly able to believe both at the same time.

#8 Two things I like here, the concept of a "Hitchhiking Post"(Damn good idea), and the fact civilians are armed, and not afraid to shoot when needed.

#9 SteveS:

Surely you've noticed the daily lessons being taught to the kindergarten kids in Gaza and the West Bank? The lessons taught by Ms. Jenks would be alien and unknown to the paleo muzz.

From personal experience, it's an Arab thing.
