Under cover of headlines that continuously refer to Palestinian strife.
Typical trick-of-the-trade by the Zionist-controlled War Dailies:
"Gazans Pray Outside, Defying Warnings by Hamas" by Steven Erlanger/New York Times September 1, 2007
JERUSALEM, Aug. 31 — Defying warnings from Hamas, several thousand Gazans prayed outside mosques on Friday in a Fatah-inspired protest.
In a statement, Fatah accused Hamas of “exploiting mosques to inflame tensions and provocations among factions.” Israel, similarly, regularly accuses Hamas of using Friday Prayer to incite hatred of Israel and Jews.
[That's because Fatah is now Israel's agent!
And I am tired of the lies about Hamas.
The way stink Israel acts, it brings the hatred on itself.
I am a perfect example. I used to have such pity for Israel. No more.]
Dozens of young men shouted “Shiites, Shiites,” a common insult to Hamas, which receives some support from Shiite-dominated Iran. Palestinians are mostly Sunni Muslims.
[Hamas is Sunni? Then why aren't they at the Iranians throats?
Or is "sectarianism" the lie? Can't have it both ways, NaZionist pukes!]
This week, [Fatah] Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced that the offices of 103 charitable organizations, mostly affiliated with Hamas, would be shut down for violating the law; Hamas has protested.
The Hamas leader Ismail Haniya said that weekly prayers were being exploited for political ends and accused protesters of “defiling the sanctity of worship,” but Fahmi al-Zahrir, a Fatah spokesman in the West Bank, said the protests would continue.
[As per Israel's wishes!]
Also on Friday, the Israeli military said that three children killed on Wednesday in northern Gaza by Israeli fire were not retrieving a rocket launcher, as first announced, but were simply playing tag nearby. The three young cousins — Mahmoud Ghazal, 10; Sara Ghazal, 10; and Yehiya Ghazal, 12 — became targets when they were seen near the empty launcher and touching it, the army said in a statement.
[Oh, so ISRAEL MURDERED THREE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN PLAYING TAG, 'ey?
Oh, man, am I STEAMING!!!!
Yup, STINKHOLE FUCKING LYING NaZionists putting out their shit to stink!!!
YOU FUCKING MASS-MURDERING, GENOCIDAL ASSHOLES KILLED KIDS!!!!
FUCK YOU, Israel!!!!!
I don't care a wit about your fucking shitstink state anymore.
Burn in hell, you arrogant shitstinking bastards!!
God's chosen people my ass!!!!]
It said that “at the very last second it was apparent that they were children, but it was impossible to stop the explosion.” The statement did not say whether they had been shot from the air or the ground.
The army expressed regret, after first accusing Palestinian militants of using the children to retrieve the empty launchers. On Friday, it blamed the militants for having fired rockets from civilian areas.
[Yeah, but NEVER, EVER, will those shitty little NaZionist liars ever apologize for ANYTHING!
Fucking shitstinking Zionist assholes!!
No wonder the world hates your asses, no matter how much propaganda your media outlets produce!
Experience trumps words, Zionist shit-sucks!]
In Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, the army also shot and badly wounded a gunman from Fatah’s Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades.
[Told you you are next, Fatah!]
Also on Friday, off Haifa, Israeli divers retrieved the bodies of two sailors, a Ukrainian and the Indonesian captain, from their sunken cargo ship after it was rammed accidentally Thursday night by a Cypriot passenger liner, Salamis Glory, carrying 700 passengers and crew members. Eleven crew members escaped the Israeli-owned cargo ship, which was anchored two miles from the Israeli coast when it was hit. There was little damage to the liner."
Here's another version. See if you can see what is missing:
"Gaza protest of Hamas ends in clashes; Security forces fire to disperse Fatah backers" by Sarah El Deeb/Associated Press September 1, 2007
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A protest against Hamas rule by thousands of Fatah supporters turned violent yesterday when Hamas forces began dispersing the crowd, firing in the air and beating demonstrators.
[Yeah, it's always Hamas that is violent, even if it is Fatah that launches the rockets!
Western reporting all about PUSHING an AGENDA and VIEWPOINT!]
A statement from President Mahmoud Abbas's office in Ramallah said:
"[The crackdown on protesters] aims to impose a blind dictatorship and an extremist culture that contradicts the values of our people and their heritage. The events in the Gaza Strip prove to everyone that the [Hamas] coup is nearing its end. Our heroic people in Gaza will not be terrorized by these mercenaries."
[Yeah, that would be great, except that HAMAS WAS DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED!!!
Since the MSM is so stuck on elections, how come they CONSISTENTLY OMIT the results of the Palestinian elections (that Bush wanted and called for)!!
And if anyone is a dictator, it is you, Abbas!!]
Hamas agents in civilian clothes had also joined the uniformed forces in dispersing the protest, beating protesters with sticks. A small explosion from an unknown source injured two French journalists, but neither was seriously hurt. A Hamas security spokesman said stun grenades and pipe bombs were used by the protesters.
[I'm not liking the smell of that!]
Saber Khalifa, a Hamas security spokesman, said his force was rounding up "subverters." He did not have a number of those arrested, but a Fatah official in Gaza said 25 men were seized. Hamas said those in detention would be interrogated to find out who sent them.
In Jerusalem yesterday, the Israeli military said three Gaza children killed this week were playing next to a rocket launcher when the army mistook them for militants and opened fire.
The three cousins - Mahmoud Ghazal, 10, Sara Ghazal, 10, and Yehiya Ghazal, 12 - were killed Wednesday when Israeli troops combating Palestinian rocket squads spotted figures moving near rocket launchers in northern Gaza and ordered a strike, the army said in a statement.
The army and Palestinian witnesses have said in the past that militants regularly use children to retrieve rocket equipment after the projectiles are launched. But yesterday, the military said this was not the case Wednesday.
Troops spotted three figures next to launchers in an area regularly used by militants, the army said. "They were playing right next to the launchers, including touching them," and troops could not see that they were children when the order was given to fire, the statement said.
[Sick of Israel's lame-ass lies, especially when ""Eyewitnesses and medical sources said that there were no gunmen or rocket launchers at the scene."
Nothing about the kids playing tag in this convoluted and confused explanation!]
"At the very last second it was apparent that they were children, but it was impossible to stop the explosion," it said. The army did not specify whether they were targeted from the air or ground."
[You know, reader, Israel's conduct deserves my verbiage.
Their conduct is more reprehensible than any words I could ever type.]
