Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Despite poor weather, airstrikes continue; 398 killed, 2,000 injured
2009-01-01
Ma'an -- Gaza's Hospitals are the source of the latest dead as yesterday's wounded head to overcrowded morgues and medical supplies dwindle. Medical sources put the number of dead at 398.

Among those who succumbed to their wounds on Wednesday were:
*Mahmoud Abu Nahl, who died in an Egyptian hospital

*Ismail Hamdan, a 10-year-old boy who was hit with a missile Tuesday along with his two sisters

*Paramedics Eyhab Al-Madhoun and Mahmoud Abu Hasira who were hit while rescuing civilians
Fresh airstrikes bring more dead
After a several-hour noontime lull Israel resumed airstrikes in the Gaza Strip Wednesday afternoon. The lull coaxed many families out of their homes to inspect damage, find family or replenish food reserves. By four o'clock however, Israeli strikes resumed and targeted a donkey-cart in Bani Suhayla Square in Khan Younis, killing two and injuring several others.

#7  The Paleos can kill all Jews because all are combatants. The Israelis cannot kill any Paleos because all Paleos are civilians. Got it?

#6  Paleo rocket hit a military installation two days ago; one IDF soldier dead.

But 99.9% of the time, it's civilian targets.

#5  Have the Paleostain rockets EVER hit a Soldier or Military Installation? I can't remember a single one.
Therefore they all hit civilians.
But nobody seems to care about that.

#4  At link:
Later strikes hit three money changers in Gaza City

I seem to recall another Jew who targeted some money-changers. It was a short distance to the northeast, in Jerusalem. Quite a while back though.

Two Palis or two donkeys? Dare we hope that some ISM jackasses were included?

#2  I noted the scrupulous use of the word "projectile" to describe missile and rocket launches by Gazans against Israel. Their use of language is positively Orwellian. Projectile = rock?

#1  No mention that most targets were Hamas ordinance or launchers.

"targeted a donkey-cart in Bani Suhayla Square" No mention of the contents of the cart.

Fred's not shy about scouting sources (Iran, Gaza, ect.) so we get an idea of the propaganda these folks live with. It's no wonder their heads are warped.
