As Reliable As Ever
Remember the palestinian terrorist who yesterday brought a knife to a gunfight and ending up marinating in soil and worms?
Well, this is how the palestinian Ma’an News Agency reported his death:
A Palestinian university student was killed by an Israeli settler at a hitchiking post on Route 60 near the Shilo Israeli settlement between Nablus and Ramallah in the northern West Bank on Monday, Israeli and Palestinian security sources said.
Palestinian security sources said 22-year-old Abdul-Latif Hurub from the southern West Bank town of Khras west of Hebron was shot and killed by an Israeli settler.
Local sources told Ma’an’s reporter in Hebron that Israeli forces ransacked the victim’s family house after his death.
Hurub was studying Business Administration at Birzeit University near Ramallah. On Tuesday, students from Birzeit University told Ma’an that Israeli forces broke into the student dormitory where Hurub had been living. They evacuated all the students and inspected the building.
For its part, Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Brigades claimed that one of their activists was killed as he attempted to grab a rifle from an Israeli soldier near the Shilo settlement.
And here’s the Palestine Media Center report:
Two Jewish settlers shot dead unarmed Palestinian teenager Abdul-Latif Ali Mohammad Kharroub, 22, while he was walking on a countryside road near the town of Turmus A’iyya north of Ramallah, West Bank.
An Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) spokeswoman claimed the victim tried to stab the Jewish settlers who were waiting at a bus stop station near the illegal Jewish colonial settlements of Eli and Shilo.
Palestinian witnesses told the Ramallah-based Al Hayat Al Jadida on Tuesday that Kharroub was killed in cold blood without any exchange of gunfire.
IOF troops arrived soon afterwards and questioned the two Israelis, according to the AFP.
Something’s missing. Oh, I know. That would be the truth.
And if you are the kind of person who thinks palestinian reports should be believed, compare the two versions above and try to reconcile them. I mean, which is it? Was he killed while trying to disarm an IDF soldier or while on a relaxing stroll?
To borrow from a famous Australian advertising campaign, if you rely on palestinian reports, you are a bloody idiot.

Problem is the West is full of voluntary bloody idiots. Israelis have to defend themselves. What’s the world gonna do? Not like the Israelis? They don’t like you already! What have you got to loose?! Isn’t it better to be disliked and alive and free than to be disliked and enslaved or dead?! Most of the world is anti-Semitic. Now, let’s move on. They are not gonna change. There’s no “play nice” for Israel. NOTHING Israel may do is good enough except for rolling over and dying. You gonna do that? Israel is pre-condemned by Jew-hating prejudice. So, what’s new? Bomb the hell out of Gaza. Kill one thousand arabs for each Israeli that gets hurt. Make a radioactive hole, somewhere. Mecca, for instance. What are you afraid of? The arabs are not going to like you? The eurabians are not going to like you? Hey! . . . news flash!: THEY DON’T LIKE YOU, ALREADY. Jew-haters are like hyenas. There’s no truce with them. Make them fear you. Make them wet their beds every time they hear a plane. Be the Lion of Judah, once and for all. Gee . . . !!! enough already!!! Time to kill some arabs.
Jorge, do you ever, you know; just chill out?
Calm down, just because a lot of people are ill informed is not justification to start world war three.
I also have to point out that the actions you are advocating would make us no better than them, you may think that it’s alright but to me and a whole host of other people it would go against everything we have ever fought for, everything we were told and everything we believe.
Not all Arabs are ‘evil’, that is as stupid as anything we hear coming from their media about the Jews, think about people like Amos Yarkoni for instance or the 5-10 % of Bedouin Arab youths who volunteer to join the IDF every year.
There is always a place for being human.
Unfortunately, Jorge is right, there is no point in negotiating with someone who’s sole objective is to kill you. The only thing that has ever worked for Israel is keeping the Arabs scared of them. Halfassed or sloppy military engagements (Viet Nam, Bosnia, Somalia) can be gotten away with by a country as big and powerful as the US, but for a country as small as Israel crap like the last Hezbolla engagement just encourages your enemies. with th UN being run by the Islamists, Israel has no chance of pleasing them anyway. No sane commander allows the enemy to dictate the terms of engagement.Every engagement should be a disproportionate one. Every front of the war should be engaged, and this includes the Media and the internet. I can understand that people get tired of warfare, but the only other option for the Jews is Auschwitz. I just wish that more of you understood that.
No he’s wrong, he’s advocating genocide and that makes us no better than them.
What do you seriously think would happen if we nuked an arab country?
I’m all for standing up for ourselves, fighting back and targetting those who want to kill us but that doesn’t mean being indiscriminate and callous.
The last thing we need to do is become rabid and hate filled to become the mirror image of our enemies and to go on a genocidal rampage where we tar everyone with the same brush because of their ethnic backgrounds, what would that say about us?
“What do you seriously think would happen if we nuked an arab country?” Mmmmm . . . tough one . . . let’s see . . . (1) a lot of arabs would die? (2) the rest of the arab world might think it wise to stop lobbing rockets at Israel? Mmm . . . you REALLY pose tough questions.
“There is always a place for being human.” There’s always a place for another dead Jew. History has taught you nothing. Violence is the phenomenon that has put an end to conflict the most, all along human history. If so many were not blinded by the methane clouds that come out of leftists, feminists and appeasers they would see them for what they are: irresponsible, suicidal, immature adults willing to die and take everybody with them.
God will judge Israel’s enemies. Just let the IDF make the arrangements for their prompt meeting.
I’m beginning to think Israelis have some kind of collective case of depression as is being mentioned around the net. The USA can’t be militarily destroyed. Americans can be annoyed a lot. But the only way to destroy America is from within and by the Americans themselves (they might even manage to do it). Now, Israel, on the other hand, is NOT in the same situation. It doesn’t take a genius to look at a map and see that Israel is 24/7 on the verge of destruction due to its small size in the middle of an ocean of hate. Israel is like an embattled beach head just at the beginning of an amphibious operation. The jury’s still out on her. Israel CAN be destroyed militarily simply because it is so small and concentrated. The first iranian nuclear device will achieve the objective of dealing a death blow to her. The only hope for Israel was to be this doomsday Golem, all feared by her enemies. That’s over. The Lebanon fiasco. The deluge of rockets that go unanswered, day after day after day. The ridiculous episode of an Israeli warship caught with its pants down and hit with only one arab round fired, not even having its defenses operational IN A WAR ZONE IN, A WAR SITUATION! A stinking arab that simply pulls a knife and starts running towards a couple of Israelis waiting for a bus. It is very hard to miss the pattern, here (unless you are a brainwashed leftard). Arabs have lost their respect for Israel. They see Israel as a wounded animal is seen by a pack of hyenas. It is only a matter of time. Israelis don’t see this because they have been brainwashed by the left. This expression has been used so many times . . . but never so appropriately: God help you! You are obviously not willing to help yourselves.
Is this really what they said? “teenager Abdul-Latif Ali Mohammad Kharroub, 22″? (Palestine media center)
Talk about forever young, eh?
