Like clockwork (and at end of story, natch):
"Egypt Permits Pilgrims to Cross Back Into Gaza" by ISABEL KERSHNER
JERUSALEM — Egypt allowed about 2,000 Palestinian pilgrims to cross back into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after they had been stranded for days in the Egyptian Sinai on their way back from Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
The decision may exacerbate tensions between Egypt and Israel over what Israel regards as Egypt’s failure to maintain a secure border with Gaza.
An Israeli government official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he did not want to exacerbate tensions between Egypt and Israel:
“If people are returning to Gaza without going through the required security procedures, then that would be contrary to the understandings reached.”
Like Israel has a right to bitch about anybody else breaking any kind of agreement!
Fuck off, shitstink state!
Another Israeli official said that Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, and President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt had decided that the pilgrims would return via Kerem Shalom at a meeting on Dec. 26 in a Sinai resort.
In Gaza, the Hamas-run Al Aksa radio and television greeted the returning pilgrims on Wednesday by broadcasting Palestinian wedding songs. Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader in Gaza, praised Egypt for not surrendering to “blackmail.”
Um Muhammad Bayed, 45, a Hamas supporter who was among the returning pilgrims, said she had spent a day and a half stranded on a boat off the southern Sinai coast and three days in the north Sinai town of El Arish before reaching Gaza.
Mrs. Bayed, in a telephone interview shortly after crossing the border:
“The toughest thing was the uncertainty, not knowing when we were going to make it through.”
Many of the returning Palestinians complained of harsh conditions and the bitter cold in Sinai. The Egyptian authorities put them up in a stadium and provided food and medicine, the returnees said. But two of the pilgrims died of heart attacks during the wait in the desert town.
Add more Palestinians to the Israeli death toll!
What fuckers Israel is!
Six Palestinian militants were killed in Israeli ground and air attacks Wednesday in an area of Gaza close to the border fence, Palestinian medical officials and the Israeli Army said. An army spokeswoman said that the Palestinians had fired at Israeli forces on a routine operation.
Hamas said that four of the dead were members of its armed wing and that two were members of the Popular Resistance Committees."
Update: The ISRAELI KILLING CONTINUES!!!!!!!!
"Israeli jets bomb Islamic Jihad buildings in Gaza"
"Israeli warplanes bombed three buildings linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the militant group and witnesses said.
The first air strike targeted the Gaza City home of Karim al-Dahdouh, a senior Islamic Jihad bombmaker killed by Israeli forces last month.
The second air strike hit the home of Abu al-Murshed, an Islamic Jihad leader killed last week, in the central Gaza Strip. A third building belonging to an Islamic Jihad member in the southern town of Khan Younis was bombed minutes later. An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the air force had attacked in Gaza but did not immediately elaborate.
Israel rarely uses warplanes for bombing runs in densely populated Gaza, preferring the more limited firepower of helicopter gunships or drones."
And the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM rarely reports on it!
We'll see what treatment they gives this report in their shit rags tomorrow!
How much bet it's a one or two sentence paragraph in the back, readers -- if there at all?
Truthfully, readers, the realization that AmeriKa's MSM newspapers are nothing more than propaganda tools has really broken my heart.
I wasn't this way a year ago when I started.
I still believed and purchased them then, and looked forward to it.
Now I have not purchased AmeriKa's newspapers for three days, and I see no end in sight.
Ooooooh, the DECADES of BEING MISLEAD by the newspapers I so happily purchased and looked forward to reading.
No longer!
