Synagogues Used as Bases To Fire on Israel
2007-03-01
By AARON KLEIN
TEL AVIV — The ruins of two large synagogues in evacuated Jewish communities of the Gaza Strip have been transformed into military bases used by Palestinian Arab groups to fire rockets at Israeli cities, according to a senior leader of a Gaza militant group.

Immediately after the Israeli evacuation was completed, Palestinian Arabs destroyed most of the Gaza synagogues.
When Israel withdrew from the Gaza in August, 2005, it left intact 20 synagogues of the Gush Katif Jewish communities following an Israeli Cabinet decision against demolishing the structures. Immediately after the Israeli evacuation was completed, Palestinian Arabs destroyed most of the Gaza synagogues.

Mr. Abir blamed the Jewish state for the desecration, claiming the decision to leave the structures intact was an Israeli conspiracy. Israel "left the synagogues behind so the world would see the Palestinians destroying them."
Speaking to The New York Sun from Gaza, a spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, Abu Abir, said the area in which the synagogues once stood is now used to fire rockets at Israel. "We are proud to turn these lands, especially these parts that were for long time the symbol of occupation and injustice, like the synagogue, into a military base and source of fire against the Zionists and the Zionist entity," Mr. Abir said.

#10  Sad - the greats of world Muslim history turned or converted many non-Muslim religious sites in things of beauty, to glorify God + their faith. As said or prmeised times before, iff Muslims prove unable to control or resolve their hatred, nor to want even proactive self-reforms, they'll end up destroying themselves + their faith + their civilization + the World in general. THEIR HATRED AND REFUSAL TO REFORM WILL INDUCE THEM TO PREFER THE DESTRUCTION OF ALLAH + HEAVEN THAN SEE COMPROMISE OR PEACE WID ANYONE. THEY'LL DESTROY "THE GOOD" ALONG WID "THE BAD".

#7  I hope Israel is getting as tired of these idiots as I am, and wipes the entire Gaza area clean of anything resembling human habitation or humanity. It's time for Gaza to disappear from the world scene. Let it become just another part of Southern Israel, full of "good ol' boys" - with big, fancy guns.

Over and over again we hear muslims complain about how they have no self control -
Women must cover themselves since men can't control their urges
Dont say/print/draw anything bad about islam/mo/terror cuz there's no telling what we're likely to do
Israel made us _______.

They need to ask their imams whether something is good/bad/other. Is there no ability on their part to actually THINK?!

#1  Seems only fair that Israel use Mosques as fire bases for artillery strikes into Gaza and the West Bank, doesn't it?
