Ha’aretz reports on how the family of a senior terrorist killed by Israel have “turned Hizbullah”.
Instead of a Britney Spears ring tone, Shehadeh Shehadeh’s cell phone emits a recording of a speech by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. “Our entire family has turned Shi’ite,” he boasts.
He’s not wrong.
But they’re not that bad. After all, they don’t hate all Jews:
The son is outspoken about his disdain for Israelis. “The Jews killed the prophets,” he reiterated several times in his conversation with Haaretz.
“Some Jews are all right and my father valued them, like Neturei Karta,” he conceded, referring to a fringe ultra-Orthodox sect that is rabidly anti-Zionist. “But most Jews are the enemy.”
Meanwhile, the report contains some other interesting nuggets. Like this:
Shehadeh’s funeral, which he shared with the other three assassinated militants, was one of the largest the city has seen in recent years. Palestinian security forces estimate that it was attended by no less of 250,000 people.
There’s that famous palestinian inflation at work again.
