Life's a little harder in Gaza...
Early Monday morning, Gaza City was bombarded by Israeli tanks and helicopters. Targeting a Palestinian security compound, the shelling could be heard from miles around. The area was also bombed by Israeli gunboats waiting at the harbor for the shelling to start. The gunboats began shelling, targeting Palestinian President Yasser Arafatâs offices, which had been destroyed earlier in a similar attack. Just trying to level out the rubble. For my money, they should be targeting Sheikh Yassin's house... Earlier this week in a press conference, Israeli Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the international community to âsupport Israelâs right to defend itselfâ and to take whatever action it found necessary to curb the growing violence in the region, and to âdestroy terrorism and the regimes that support terrorism,â referring to the Palestinian Authority. Sounds like a noble aim to me... With phone lines cut and medical personnel denied access to the site by the Israeli army, Palestinian security officers who were wounded were stranded without medical attention. A nearby hospital in Gaza said that their facilities had been struck by Israeli fire as well. It was also reported by medical personnel that a TV cameraman who works for Reuters news agency was wounded as well. Shucks, that's terrible. Now, where'd I put that daggone sympathy meter? The Israeli attack was apparently in retaliation to the "Apparently." That means there's no guarantee they were, and in truth, they probably weren't. Them damn' Jews just like killing people for no reason — that's the real reason! Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-19 |
