Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Teen

"Israeli troops kill Palestinian teen"

"HEBRON, West Bank, June 27 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian teenager during a raid into the occupied West Bank on Friday, local residents and medical workers said.

The residents said the 17-year-old was killed while confronting Israeli troops who raided the village of Beit Umar, near the West Bank city of Hebron."

"Israel will not fully open crossing; Closed after rocket attacks" by Laurie Copans, Associated Press | June 28, 2008

JERUSALEM - Israel refused yesterday to fully open crossings with the Gaza Strip and Palestinian militants attacked Israel with mortars, further testing an already-fragile truce.

For the third day in a row, Israel prevented food trucks from entering Gaza by closing crossings in retaliation for repeated Palestinian rocket attacks, Israeli army spokesman Peter Lerner said.

Later in the day, Palestinian militants fired two mortar shells toward Israel, Israeli police said, but no injuries or damage were reported. It was not immediately clear which militant faction fired the shells.

Or if they even had.

Much rests on the truce, with Israel threatening a large-scale military operation if the rocket fire continues.

And CUI BONO?

The NaZionist wing of Israel, no?

Hamas leaders said repeatedly this week that they are committed to the truce, despite the ongoing rocket fire by militant groups.

The smaller militant factions behind the fire say it was retaliation for the killing of two Palestinian militants in an Israeli raid this week in the West Bank, which is not included in the truce arrangement.

How would they know what the militant factions said if no one claimed responsibility?

WTF? It's just Zionist propaganda pushed ever day!

And then look at how they excuse Israel's murder by saying the West Bank isn't covered!

Pfffffffttt!

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh yesterday appealed to the factions to honor the truce for the good of the Palestinian civilian population. "We expect everyone to respect the agreement, so that the Palestinian people achieve what they look for, an end to this suffering and breaking the siege," he told reporters outside a Gaza mosque after Muslim prayers.

Once again, CUI BONO?

But if Hamas does not stop the rockets and if more Israelis are hurt, Israel could launch retaliatory strikes that would lead to a complete collapse of the cease-fire.

Even if it ISN'T Hamas that does it -- even if it is Israel's Fatah agents or ISRAELI SETTLERS!

What a GREAT RACKET the NaZionists got going, huh?

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called for retaliation for the attacks, saying Israel would hold Hamas responsible for violations by the militant factions.

Yup, even if it's not them, huh, Zip?

Here's more from that disgusting cretin:

"Livni: Israel should respond militarily

"Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni issued an uncharacteristically sharp demand for an immediate military response. "It doesn't interest me who fired it, we need to respond militarily and immediately to every infraction [of the cease-fire] like this," she said."

A UN official said yesterday that Israeli troops have violated the truce by opening fire several times at Palestinians approaching the Gaza-Israel border fence. Two Palestinians were wounded in separate incidents this week, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because there has been no official announcement from the United Nations.

MORE--"

Yeah, Israeli violations are either ignored or mentioned in passing.

They killed an 80-YEAR-OLD MAN!

I, for one, am sick of the blatant Zionist agenda-pushing with the poor, victimized Jews who just want to get along shit!

Fuck that!

I'm not fooled anymore -- partly because I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD what was going on over there and the history of it (despite state schooling) until a COUPLE of YEARS AGO!
