Iraqis use civilians as human shields, just like the Palestinians

Iraqis use civilians as human shields, just like the Palestinians

Is that surprising? The world didn't believe the Israeli's when they claimed that the killers known as "Palestinians" used ambulances, schools and hospitals as weapons storage areas.
Lo and behold! The Iraqi's have done the same exact thing with the Americans! Is this part of Arab culture to hide behind woman and children.
Check this story out.

UNWRA used by Palestinian terrorists, by MARGOT DUDKEVITCH

Terrorist organizations in Palestinian-controlled areas, as well as in Syria and Lebanon take advantage of UNRWA workers and their vehicles to transport arms and terrorists, according to a document drawn up by defense establishment officials.

The document notes that Palestinian terrorists in Israeli custody admitted using UNRWA facilities, equipment, and vehicles to assist in carrying out terror attacks, knowing that UNRWA personnel are able to travel in Israel and Palestinian Authority-controlled areas, as well as in Lebanon, Syria, andelsewhere, without being subjected to security checks.

The report focuses on UNRWA employee Nahed Rashid Ahmed Attalah, 38, a resident of Jabaliyah in the Gaza Strip, who was arrested last August by security forces as he returned from Egypt.

Attalah first began working for UNRWA in 1987 as a director of food supplies for Gaza Strip refugees. He was provided with a UN vehicle and issued a UN laissez-passer that entitled him to unrestricted travel in the region. According to the report Attalah admitted to investigators that he used his car to transport terrorists and arms.

Attalah told investigators that he was repeatedly asked by officials of Fatah's Popular Resistance Committee to drive them in his UN car as it was never subjected to IDF inspections. He also made use of his laissez-passer to travel to Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria where he contacted officials of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, received funds, and transferred arms.

Attalah is currently on trial on eight counts including aiding terrorist activities, conspiring to trade in arms, assisting in attempted premeditated murder, and possessing illegal arms.
He was indicted last September, and in February this year the IDF military court of appeals decided to extend his detention until the end of the legal proceedings against him.

Holy Shit are these Palestinians Pure Evil. Now there trying to slaughter Orphans and homeless children

 http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/A/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1048922665042 Mar. 30, 2003

Last week, Israeli security forces announced the capture of a Fatah-affiliated teenager sent on a suicide mission meant to kill hundreds of people.
Officials said the target was a home for 180 orphans and homeless children in Jerusalem. They said the 17-year-old Palestinian from the Bethlehem area was sent with a suitcase filled with explosives to blow up the school.

Can anyone possibly explain to me, how Israel could live next to these monsters.

Zionist filth, do you think the world is stupid or gullible to believe your lies? The world see the way the Palestinians have been massacred and tortured for 55 years since the creation of this abomination called "israel". We see the way that zionist agents in the US and Britain have orchestrated yet more attrocities and massacres against Arabs in Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria, all for the sake of your satanic cult. You have got the Americans to do your dirty work in Iraq once again, but this time you have revealed your true face to the world. America and "israel" are the two countries preventing world peace, despised in every part of this world. It only a matter of time before you get what you deserve...

HAHAHAHAHA!

mike;

HAHAHAHA, I love this site! Such great comedy, for FREE!

So we are preventing world peace, and everything in the world is some eeeeeevil Zionist conspiracy. Heh! C'mon mike, try a bit harder. I don't like to call people Nazis (it's so overused), but c'mon, at least try not to sound so much like one of Hitler's minions. Please.

Oh, Dan you are patetic and liar

03.04.2003 05:52

"Iraqis use civilians as human shields", IDF is doing that. They use children to protet themselves. I know you heard this news before but you avoid to mention it, why?
ElCapitanAmerica should go back to school. It is so backwarded. If these two countries are promoting peace why are we at war? I don't know if he/she is joke or what.
Instead to post his crap comment to any fascist, Tory, or Republican sites, he find himself with a lot of time to read Indymedia and post his idiocy.
ElCrap why are you not in Iraq to do your facking duty, are you chicken-hawk like Blair and Bush?

Some racism is ok.. just depends

03.04.2003 09:05

Ah feel proud racist! Because someone posts a message that is not fashionable he automatically becomes a zionist etc etc and the post is untrue, despite other posts on this website being unreferenced etc. I can't actually understand how you are much better than the nazis? They wanted to murder innocents and you are basically promoting the murder of innocents. Your racist comments are quite disturbing that you would promote murder because of someones religious beliefs. Humans are the same people no matter what creed, colour or religion but discrimination is discrimination even tho you might think its fashionable to want to murder jews. Sleep well tonight and feel proud baby killer.

Killing Jews (or any other human being for that matter!) is wrong, but killing innocent Palestinians in an illeagal occupation is equally as wrong.
