Israel-Palestine

Qurei: 140 killed in Gaza operation

2004-10-17

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei said Saturday that 140 Palestinians were killed and 500 wounded in the IDF operation against Kassam rocket squads in the northern Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said that at least 80 houses were demolished during the operation, including 60 in the Jabalya refugee camp and 20 in Beit Lahiya. Speaking to reporters in Ramallah, Qurei said the operation was part of a comprehensive aggression aimed at forcing the Palestinians to succumb. "Of course, this will never happen," he added. "The Gaza operation is in the context of attempts to create an umbrella for more land confiscation and the construction of the racist separation fence. The occupation always caries out criminal acts then withdraws." Referring to the IDF redeployment in the Gaza Strip over the weekend, Qurei said: "We are satisfied whenever the occupation withdraws from any area of our land. We don't want to see any trace of them on our land."

#7 Yep, the over/under on abodes was 500. Lost twenty on that deal.

#6 140 dead? A good start. Too bad on only getting 80 houses, though.

#5 "Israel needs to slowly back away from the cesspit known as the Palestinian terrortories and let this world see for itself what sort of brutality and corruption will erupt amidst these violently psychotic murderers once they are unfettered."

The world will see it, but since so many nations are governed and populated by similar psychotic murderers, the world will magically become blind to it as it ratchets up the pressure for a Paleostinian state - yet another stick to beat Israel with.

Gotta love those stats. When the Palestinians finally wake up and change their stance on terrorism, maybe I'll manage to summon up a nano-sniffle for all of their dead (unlikely). Until then, they can all collectively go piss up a rope.

"We are satisfied whenever the occupation withdraws from any area of our land. We don't want to see any trace of them on our land."

Is anyone else waiting with gleeful expectancy to see the utter chaos and mayhem that will result from Israel's withdrawal? Once the barrier is complete, the Palestinians will fall upon their own selves like the rapacious parasites they have always been.

I look forward to the ensuing orgy of violence as Hamas and all the other fraternities of thugs make their individual grabs for power. Israel needs to slowly back away from the cesspit known as the Palestinian terrortories and let this world see for itself what sort of brutality and corruption will erupt amidst these violently psychotic murderers once they are unfettered.

#3 "The occupation always caries (sic) out criminal acts then withdraws."
As opposed to the Palestinians who carry out criminal acts by rocketing over the wall or by exploding themselves. Nitwit.

Maybe they'll start to get it when the ratio changes to 500 dead per 140 wounded. Less seeking revenge that way.

#2 140 down, 500 injured? Rockets still flying? Cry me a river while the consequences of your actions still bounce off your thick fucking skulls.

Yeah, we'll implode instead...
