New York Times always mentions the Arab "infighting" first:
"Gaza Is Tense as It Tallies Casualties" by TAGHREED EL-KHODARY and ISABEL KERSHNER
GAZA — Seven Palestinians were killed and 40 wounded in the clashes late Monday and early Tuesday, said Dr. Muawiya Hassanein, director of the emergency medical service in Gaza. He said 25 had been wounded by gunfire, and the rest had been beaten.
A spokesman for the Hamas-run Interior Ministry, Ehab al-Ghsein, blamed Fatah for the violence, saying it started when Fatah supporters shot at worshipers leaving a mosque in Khan Yunis, killing a local Hamas leader, Mahmoud Abu Taha, and a 10-year-old boy. The clashes spread to Beit Lahiya, in the north, Gaza City and other areas.
Yup, Israel's friend is acting just like the shitstink state, killing a little boy!
Among the dead late Monday and early Tuesday were a Hamas policeman and two civilians, Mr. Ghsein said. In Gaza City, Fatah officials would not comment.
Wael Abu Najja, the son of Ibrahim Abu Najja, a Fatah leader in Gaza, accused Hamas of abducting his father on Monday night, and of shaving his head and mustache to humiliate him before dropping him at his house. Hamas officials said the kidnappers had been Fatah men who blamed him for taking them off the Palestinian Authority payroll.
In a speech Monday evening for the Fatah anniversary, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, called on those who initiated Hamas’s military takeover of Gaza last June “to open a new page” and to reach a new agreement on Palestinian unity through dialogue. He asked Hamas to consider early elections. A Hamas leader, Mahmoud Zahar, rejected that idea here on Tuesday. He said that Hamas “welcomes new ideas regarding a dialogue without preconditions,” and that it should occur under “Arab auspices.” Egypt and Saudi Arabia have previously mediated between the sides.
Pfffffft! What an arrogant asshole Abass is!
At least one Palestinian militant was killed Tuesday by Israeli Army fire near the border fence along Gaza. An army spokeswoman said that ground forces had fired at armed men approaching the fence. Hamas said the dead man was on its security force.
Israel is like a rabid dog, isn't it, readers?
Hard to go a day without killing, isn't it, shitstink state?
A new report by Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency indicated a decline in attacks on Israelis in 2007, saying the number of casualties from them was the lowest since the outbreak of the intifada in 2000. According to the Shin Bet figures published Tuesday in the Israeli news media, 13 Israelis were killed in attacks in 2007 — seven civilians and six soldiers. In 2006, 24 Israelis were killed, and in 2002, at the height of the intifada, 426.
A total of 1,263 Qassam rockets and 1,511 mortar shells were fired at Israel from Gaza in 2007, the report said.
I really don't give a fuck about whiny NaZionist Liars and their complaints these days!
A report by Btselem, an Israeli human rights group, said Israeli security forces killed 373 Palestinians in 2007, 290 of them in Gaza and 83 in the West Bank, 53 among them minors. In 2006, 657 Palestinians were killed, including 140 minors, Btselem said.
That's what, about a 30:1 ratio of killings in "favor" of the Palestinians?
53 MINORS in 2007 and 140 in 2006?!
That means CHILDREN MURDERED by ISRAEL, readers!
God, do I ever hate that lying, land-stealing, mass-murdering, genocidal shitstink state known as Israel!
The percentage of Palestinian civilians killed who were not involved in hostilities also declined in 2007, to 35 percent, from 54 percent in 2006, Btselem said.
Israel on Monday released details about two Palestinians in the custody of the Palestinian Authority who are said to have confessed to the Dec. 29 killing of two Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The Israeli prime minister’s office said the two were Fatah advocates in their 20s from Hebron. One is said to have been “in contact” with the Palestinian General Intelligence service, and the other to have been a member of Mr. Abbas’s national security force."
Yeah, that's ISRAEL'S FRIEND that did that!!!
So why does the shitstink state always blame Hamas for everything?
"Israel allows 121 to Gaza, rejects 429"
ISMAILIA - Israel allowed 121 Palestinians stranded in Egypt for about four months to head home to Gaza yesterday via the Jewish state, but turned away 429 more who had expected to cross the border, Egyptian security sources said. They said the Palestinians had their travel papers processed at the Rafah border crossing and were taken by bus to the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom border point. Security sources said that the Israeli side did not give a reason for the rejections and that it was possible those Palestinians could soon cross (Reuters)."
What assholes, Israel is!!!!!
"Israel says it won't budge on blockades; Move precedes a visit by Bush" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | January 2, 2008
JERUSALEM - Israel's network of roadblocks will remain in place across the West Bank, the defense minister said yesterday, sparking an outcry from Palestinians who say they cannot rebuild their economy until people and goods move freely.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak's comments soured an already tense atmosphere between Israel and the Palestinians just days before President Bush's first visit to the region as president. Israeli construction in east Jerusalem and the West Bank and violence between Israelis and Palestinians - and among Palestinians themselves - threaten to overwhelm Bush's peace efforts.
Removing roadblocks is a constant Palestinian demand, and Israel has pledged several times to take down some of the checkpoints that have choked economic and social life in the West Bank.
Barak said yesterday, however, that the roadblocks have proven effective against Palestinian attacks:
"There is no chance of effectively fighting terror without practical daily control in the field, and the roadblocks will stay."
Jan. 1 is the day Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement celebrates its anniversary, but in Gaza, Hamas rulers banned fireworks and marches - setting off clashes that killed eight people and wounded more than 60.
The eight dead yesterday included three Hamas and three Fatah supporters, officials said. Also killed were an elderly man caught in crossfire in northern Gaza and a 14-year-old Hamas supporter shot in the southern town of Khan Younis after he left a mosque, relatives said.
A Hamas militant was killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza, Palestinians said. The Israeli military said it targeted armed Palestinians."
Yeah, no big deal when it is ISRAELI VIOLENCE and MURDER, huh, AmeriKan MSM?
And I'm tired of it, readers!
