As I posted earlier, the IDF killed two terrorists suspected of kidnapping and murdering the three Israeli teens. According to the IDF, the terrorists were killed after opening fire on the security forces.
Enter anti-Israel DouchebloggerTM Richard Silverstein, who states as fact that the terrorists were executed. His “proof”? The word of one of his “sources” (and we all know how reliable they turn out to be), and a statement by the palestinian governor of Hebron.
My Israeli source called it a ‘targeted killing.’ He says the force intended to liquidate them. It hardly mattered whether they fought back or surrendered.
Hebron’s Palestinian governor confirmed that the suspects were executed:
“It’s clear now the two martyrs, al-Kawasme and Abu Aysha, were assassinated this morning during a military operation in the Hebron University area. We condemn this crime, this assassination, as deliberate and premeditated murder,” he said.
In other words, when faced with contradictory accounts, Silverstein automatically believes the anti-Israel one and treats it as fact.
But it gets worse. This is how he tweeted his post:
Notice the Shin Bet murdered, while the murderers of three teenagers killed them. A deliberate semantic choice demonstrating the depth of his moral depravity.
But it’s a good thing he has his pal and fellow Israel basher Uri Horesh to correct him.
Update: Gidon points out something I missed in Silverstein’s post.
Another chapter has closed on the horrible cycle of killings and revenge murders that plagued the West Bank in the weeks before Israel launched Operation Protective Edge. A joint team of IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police cornered the two Palestinian boys and murdered them.
The “boys” (terrorists) were 29 and 32.
Update: Even the palestinian Ma’an News agency concedes there was a gunfight, and not as Silverstein claims.
Abu Aisha and al-Qawasmeh were killed overnight following a gunfight after Israeli forces surrounded a property they were hiding in.
He even referred to the two Hamas terrorists as “boys” when they are 29 & 32 years old…. Sick, sick man.
The Palestinian Arab terrorists liquidated by Israel were grown men.
They were responsible for what they did. It takes a sick and twisted mind to infantilize them and deprive them of moral agency.
Yet its exactly what we can expect from anti-Semites and Israel haters.
yes, semantics matter
and to simply call these filthy jew hating bastards, “israel haters” is wrong
they hate the jew
and allow me to point out what the msm refuses to
the fakestinians want a state, yet to allow this, would be to allow another lawless muslim state to come into existence
for these animals were allowed to continue moving freely within palestinian controlled area and it took the idf to neutralize them
“…filthy jew hating bastards”, “…for these animals…” I just love the Zionist double standard. Not liking a person(s) because he/she is Jewish = Anti-Semitism or “jew hating bastards” as you put it. Referring to Palestinians as, “animals”, or “fakestinians” = Not Anti-Semitism, not racist, not bigotry.
Walt, have you ever heard the word, “Hypocrisy”?
Have you ever heard of actions proving it? Have you an iota of intelligence?
What do you call depraved individuals that murder because they hate somebody’s religion? That boast they are going to drink their enemies’ blood and then do so? That literally tear people apart and eat their organs?
Please enlighten us with what you call ‘wisdom’. Go ahead I wish to see how you whitewash those actions
JMC no doubt thinks you’re projecting “Zionist crimes” onto poor, innocent, misunderstood Hamas et al.
What would I call depraved individuals that murder because they hate somebody’s religion? How about, “IDF”? What do you the three Israelis who burned a 16 year old Arab teen alive with gasoline?
Perhaps you’re missing the point. The point is, how can someone express indignation (making claims of persons being anti-Jewish, etc.) while demonizing another group by calling them, “fakestinians”? Among other things, it’s called a double standard.
People openly post “selfies” with statements indicating, ” “Hating Arabs is
not racism, it’s values”…. I’m pretty sure it’s not an isolated belief. I’ll bet a few of them have in one form or another have made claims of anti-Semitism. But, making statements about hating Arabs is somehow not, “anti-Semitic”?
Yes, I hear allegations and complaints against Hamas. If something bad happens, they are blamed…however, why not hold some accountability to the country that helped create the organization?
Ultra-leftist Haaretz reports that even Hamas admits that it was a shootout.
“Hamas confirms both Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisha were killed in a shootout at a West Bank hideout.”
But to Richard Silverstein, who apparently lives to twist facts amd demonize Israel, the truth is irrelevant.
They have become satires of themselves.
Never mind Silverstein, what did Mondoweiss have to say? After all, the latter has a big fan in a certain New York Times reporter. (I got better things to do than waste my time getting my hands dirty with them.)
Who does the English translations for these muslim cretins. Since when do murderers getting their karma become ‘martyrs’???? Why are suicide bombers called ‘martyrs’ instead of runners-up in the Darwin Awards?
What a bunch of Idiot ,they cry for Hamas terrorists
The Islamic cult of death looses two more “religious” fruitcakes. Thank God.
