Israel's Daily Airstrike

Like clockwork now.

Hidden in a story about Palestinian infighting.

The Zionist press is really getting predictable, readers.

Seeing right through them.


"Palestinian police fire on Hamas protesters" by Nasser Shiyoukhi/Associated Press November 29, 2007

HEBRON, West Bank - Palestinian police loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas fired automatic weapons and beat marchers with clubs during a funeral procession yesterday for a man killed while protesting this week's US-hosted Mideast peace conference.

Fatah stirring up the shit storm for USrael again! This is sickening!


The chaos threatened to undermine Abbas's standing in the West Bank, just as the international community stepped up its support for him in peace talks with Israel and his struggle with Hamas militants.

Led by the Islamic militant Hamas, Palestinian hard-liners have been demonstrating all week, rejecting concessions to Israel and declaring that Abbas does not speak for them.

Really? Demos all week? I'd hardly heard!


Medics said at least 26 people were wounded, one critically, in yesterday's West Bank violence, the second day of protests against the conference in Annapolis, Md., where Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert formally agreed to relaunch peace talks.

Olmert is also facing a challenge from Jewish settlers in the West Bank and their hard-line backers, who reject compromise with the Palestinians and are threatening to bring Olmert's coalition down.

In Gaza, Palestinian officials said an Israeli air strike on a Hamas base killed two militants. The Israeli military said the strike was a response to rocket and mortar fire from Gaza at Israel.

There it is!


In Hebron, about 5,000 people participated in yesterday's funeral for Hisham Baradei, 36, who was shot and killed by Palestinian police on Tuesday. The procession turned violent when marchers refused to keep to a route agreed in advance with police, who then opened fire and over their heads. Protesters hurled rocks at police, who clubbed demonstrators.

The Liberation Party, a small, unarmed Islamic group, organized Tuesday's protests. But Hamas activists joined the funeral procession yesterday in Hebron, waving their green Islamic flags and hurling stones at police."

And they got beat by their own people for it! Just trying to pay respects!

Here's the Times version, and see if you can find what they left out:


"More Violence on West Bank" by the New York Times

HEBRON, West Bank, Nov. 28 — Palestinian Authority security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas opened fire Wednesday to disperse a funeral procession that had turned into a pro-Islamic rally. It was the second day of violence in this usually staid West Bank city.

At least 24 protesters were hospitalized, some with gunshot or shrapnel wounds and others with injuries from police batons, hospital officials and witnesses said.

Muhammad Abu Atwan, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority security forces in Hebron, said nine police officers had been injured in clashes with stone-throwing protesters. He denied that any civilians had been hurt by police bullets.

The funeral was for Hisham al-Baradei, a local man in his 30s who was killed Tuesday after the police opened fire to end a protest organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Party of Liberation. That demonstration was against the peace conference in Annapolis.

Palestinian security officials have denied that Mr. Baradei, who was shot in the chest, was killed by police bullets."

No airstrike, Times? Then it must not have happened, right?
