Gaza Arabs Destroying Their Own Homes
2004-06-11
Two weeks after the announcement by the IDF Chief of Staff that Israel will consider compensation claims by Rafiach Arabs arising from the military’s operations in the city, some residents are damaging their own homes. The fraudulent claimants are hoping to take advantage of the Israeli generosity by claiming the damage was a result of IDF activities. During Operation Rainbow in Rafiach, IDF troops had the mission of searching out and destroying tunnels used for smuggling weapons and the like from Egypt into Rafiach.

#10  Gaza Arabs Destroying Their Own Homes

Why all the shock? The Palestinians have been doing this for years. They've sent countless black border invitations to Mister Caterpillar.

#9  Paleos lied, St. Pancake died.

Paleos--atta bunch of losers. All the normal Palis left the area, what is left is trash.

I have an idea--Let's give them a state!

#8  let me guess: since the Joooos could, just possibly, pay for damages, it's all their fault, right? Once again, the Paleos are victims of their own stupidity, duplicity, and greed

#7  Well for one thing the LA riots were isolated in so called 'oppressed' niegborhoods...they destroyed what tax base they had.. which they are still trying to reclaim

#6 it wast't so much they were too lazy to drive to other places but the fact of the police response... if this same bullshit happend..in say Bel Air...the police response would of been huge.

personally it was not that wide spread..yes over many areas but not widespread.. i should know.. i lived through it and i did not see one instance of looting..though i could see smoke over yonder but nothing close...but i do not live in compton or anything like that

You're right of course about LA riots burning other people's property, but it was in their own neighborhoods to their own "oppressed" people. The martyr angle is unique to the Arab mindset; the LA rioters were simply too lazy to drive out of their own neighborhood to stage their riots.

#5  When the houses were GIVEN to you by the UN and other sundry donors, you have no sweat equity involved. These people produce nothing but trouble and children so how can they be expected to value anything.

#4  #3-At first I was inclined to agree with you. Anger, violence, destruction-these are the same. But with the LA riots, weren't people sabotaging and attacking OTHERS' property? It's weird when you turn it on yourself...but accepting the martyr role is so widespread in the psyche of Gaza. Now add to being a martyr being a thief.
