Israel-Palestine
Another Hamas Big Banged
2004-05-20
A leader of the armed wing of the radical Hamas movement has been killed in an Israeli air strike in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, it has been reported. AFP news agency said the news came from Palestinian medical and security sources. The body of 37-year-old Khalid Abu Anza, who was killed in the early morning, was recovered by medics in the evening, AFP reported. His death brings the number of Palestinians killed in Rafah on Thursday to eight.
(must be stale...thought there was a lot more martyrs)
It brings the overall toll since the September 2000 start of the Palestinian intifada to 4,075, including 3,086 Palestinians and 918 Israelis, according to an AFP count.

#9  Is Monty Python counting the corpses?

Perhaps they aren't, but every bit of this should still serve to reinforce all of the lessons taught in Monty Python's sketch about "Not Being Seen."

Khalid Abu Anza has learned the first lesson in not being seen.

#7  Israel Army is reporting they don't know how he died. Could well have been whacked by his own side.

Cheer up Sarge, Let's All Sing Together...

Bright Side of Life, from Monty Python's Life of Brian

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling] {twice}

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling] {twice}

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of life.

#4  BK, you assume that they are rational or conscience of how stupid they truly are. I think that was two weeks. Who had two weeks in the “guess when the next Hamas leader gets whacked” pool? Strange that a big wig would be around an ongoing Israeli operation. Seems dangerous for most people, let alone a hunted person. Also wasn’t the count 20 yesterday? Were they dead and got better? Is Monty Python counting the corpses?

He may be in Islamic limbo.

Can't be "virgin-certified" unless they find. . .

A leader of the armed wing of the radical Hamas movement
Think the Paleos will ever connect "armed" and "radical" with getting blown away?

Naaahh, me neither.
