2005-07-14 | |||
Israeli soldiers have killed a senior militant from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades as he was talking to a British journalist in the West Bank city of Nablus. Mohammad Alasi was talking with the British reporter when Israeli soldiers burst into the room.

#18 Of course, you know, half of those ISM guys are Mossad double agents. Or not. Figure it out for yourself, Paleos. |

#17 Nice work ES and AS you have surely ID'd the "journalist." A quick examination (from a safe distance) of her printed fecal matter deposited about the net reveals her to be a nutjob moonbat of the first order. As to whether or not the soldiers should have issued a burst of 3 her way, it all depends on whether you play by Ward Churchill rules. Personally, I wouldn't touch a hair on her head but rather get her real close to id the thug's bloody carcass definitively for a few moments. Especially if there was a headshot with gaping exit wound. |

#15 To understand Elliot's comment, take a look at this LGF post (contains appropriate links). In short, the "journalist" may have instead been a "British pro-Palestinian peace activist" (says Debka) who was about 60, lived in Nablus for several years, and had changed her last name to "Alasi" (says the Jerusalem Post). This is the same name as the (24-year-old) dead guy. A total coincidence, I'm sure. |

#14 Probability is high that he was in the home of an ISM Tool, and not talking to a reporter. Be a real shame if the pals thought dear Annie tipped off the IDF... |

#13 Reporter: "So what do you think about the Israelis?" Mohammad: "Death to them All!" (BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG) Reporter: "Ok that ends today interview, back to you in the studio" |

#7 Now that's a story for ya! Is it just me - or have we experienced a real turning point in this war. |

#6 Palestinian officials say Alasi was shot five times and his body was later found in a garden. If you expect a garden to flourish, you must use manure. |

#5 The sooner the media represent this conflict for what it is -- a war, and not the struggle of an oppressed people -- the sooner we will have an end to this conflict. If it's cast as the former, a war, this was clearly a legitimate action on the part of Israel. If it's cast as the latter, Israel will be demonized, al aqsa will be glorified, and the conflict will continue. I firmly believe it will be the latter. |

#4 Hopefully the reporter was video-taping the interview. That will help the Israelis critique their entry techniques for more and better such raids! Perhaps the media isn't so worthless after all. |

#3 The media is how terrorism becomes a self-sustaining process. The Israelis have figured this out. This was deliberate. |

#1 The British journalist is reportedly in shock. Why? He knew he was talking to a war criminal. |
