Lambs to the Slaughter

AP seems to lament the fact that an IDF operation coincides with a Muslim holiday.

Israeli troops on jeeps and a tank raided the ancient town of Jericho on Sunday for the first time in months in an apparent search for fugitives that coincided with the start of a Muslim holiday.

Gunfire echoed through the town as the troops entered at the start of the four-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Residents were forced to remain in their homes instead of going to prayer services at the mosque and conducting a traditional slaughtering of lambs.

We really do not have a problem with PLO Arabs slaughtering their lambs. It is when they slaughter our civilians that problems arise.
