#3 excellent swarm, nice form, good non-coordination of efforts to get Bits-O'-IJ-Biggy bodyparts....what the hell do they do with the parts after they get em? Wipe it on your shirt to try and prove you were there (like Jesse Jackson at MLK's shooting)?

#8 AP confirms 2 dead: The militant group Islamic Jihad identified those killed as Bashir Aldabash, 40, one of its top officials in Gaza, and a group member, Zarees Alareer.

#11 GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed the chief military commander of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in a airstrike Tuesday, the highest profile Israeli assassination for months, local leaders of the group said. The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the death of Bashir ad-Dabbash, 38. Another militant was critically wounded in the strike, witnesses said.

Bashir/Bashar Bashed

"Israel will soon see our reaction. Revenge will be painful and inside the depths of the Zionist entity," one local leader said at the morgue in Gaza. Dabbash was the most senior militant killed in Gaza since Israel's assassination of Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi in April.

Frank, you're right, this is an excellent swarm. I give it a 9.0 for form and a 9.5 for style, the guy in the weird yellow hardhat is an expecially artful and flamboyant touch.

#14 ....what the hell do they do with the parts after they get em?

Perhaps they are piecing together the parts to make the ultimate jihadi?

#15 I detect a general "swarthyness" at most car swarms - ya don't see a lotta blond swedes there - would it be inappropriate to suggest it's a cultural thing? LOL

#16 No, I'd rank it as a 8.5 swarm. No smoking rubble. No baby ducks, puppies, kittens, women, or children.

eLarson, they do watch movies though they don't admit it...

#18 AM, you're just not examining this with the requisite degree of nuance:

1. Remains of baby duck embedded in frame.
2. Smashed kitten beneath wreckage
3. Kid with creep's arm around his neck.
Smoldering rubble may be spectacular, but I consider a bit bourgeois and even crass.

#22 The best is the caption on the final picture from that Fox News link. It reads (I swear):

"Oct. 5: Palestinians try to move the wreckage of a car in Gaza city."

Move the wreckage??!?!?!?!

#27 There's a woman in a hijab on the left-hand side, only her eyes visible. Some dude in a yellow-and-brown speckled shirt is running up like he's afraid somebody's gonna get all the big pieces before he can. Kinda reminds me of the Afghani game of Buzkashi, where they ride around on horses and bash a goat's inflated stomach around (wonder who gets the swell job of inflating the stomach?).

#28 What amazes me is that the flash from the photographer's camera is the only thing illuminating the whole scene. You have the yellow-helmet guy with a lamp, and some source of illumination in the middle background, but that's it.

Imagine rooting through the smoking wreckage of a burned-out car looking for exploded body parts in near complete darkness. Take what you'd think of yourself doing so, and project this image onto the Palestinians. Act accordingly. Lesson 1 completed! Nice Job.
