Elder of ZiyonTo amplify on something Dave wrote in the previous posting here:
al-Aretz headlines:
IDF kills infant, top Islamic Jihad militant in southern Gaza
And in the details we learn:
A two-week-old Palestinian infant was killed after nightfall on Tuesday in a brief Israel Defense Forces ground operation in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials said, just a day after Israel ended a bloody offensive in northern Gaza against Palestinian rocket squads.
A senior Islamic Jihad operative, Yussuf Samiri, was also killed. Israeli defense officials said that Samiri had been the intended target of the operation.
…Witnesses said IDF tanks fired shells and fighter helicopters fired missiles. A 1-month-old baby girl, Amira Abu-Assar, was killed by a ricocheting bullet, medical officials said.
How exactly do the Palestinian Arab “medical officials” always know that Israeli bullets are the ones that invariably kill civilians whenever there is a firefight? One would expect to see some Palestinian Arab casualties from “friendly fire,” but for some reason those incidents are never reported.
Palestine Today (Arabic) reports that “fighters from the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, fought in violent armed clashes with automatic weapons and anti-tank missiles” during this battle. So clearly there were bullets flying from both sides.
Do Gaza police have forensics labs that can identify bullet fragments, perform some metallurgical and chemical tests, look at the trajectories and ricochet angles, and definitively identify their source within minutes of the fatality?
In every single incident of civilian death, Israel is blamed, and so-called “news” organizations - including Israel’s major pro-Arab newspaper - report the Palestinian Arab claims without skepticism or question.

I’ve experienced similar logic in the Far East. If you hire a cab and the driver runs down a pedestrian, the logic of it is that it’s the passengers fault for hiring the cab, since the driver obviously would not have been involved otherwise. Same over there, it seems. If Israel did not exist, then the child could not have died due to a ricocheting Pali bullet, since they would not have been shooting at Israeli’s. So no matter what, it’s always going to be the Israelis fault simply because you are there. Twisted I know, but that’s how the thinking is. We have the same problem in the USA with regards to twisted logic and certain political factions. Good luck dealing with it.

[…] und dann jedes Opfer eigener Kugeln als israelisches Mordopfer ausgeben können, ohne daß jemand kritisch nachfragt… die ihre Terroristen in Zivilkleidung stecken, damit sie sie als zivile Opfer zählen […]

When we consider that these (to use the description that the “Crotchety Old Bastard” uses), 7th century savages believe that they need only to point their weapons in the general direction of the target, cuz “allah will guide the bullet”; we are sure that it must be an Israeli bullet. And, so what? They believe in the sanctity of death just as we Christians and Jews believe in the sanctity of life. Using that mentality, they must be overjoyed that the little ones are getting an early trip to paradise or nirvana or wherever. If any of you figure these people out, you are better than anyone that I know.
