Peanuts! Popcorn! Blast kills 10 Paleo's at Hamas Rally!
2005-09-23
An explosion at a militant Hamas rally killed at least 10 Palestinians, including children and gunmen,
... and other living things...
in the Gaza Strip on Friday in the first deadly incident in the territory since Israel completed its withdrawal.
"What about Mahmoud gettin' bumped off? Wudn't that deadly?"
"It wudn't that deadly."
"How dead does he gotta be to be deadly?"
Hamas accused Israel of attacking the procession of military vehicles and thousands of marchers chanted for revenge.
"Revenge! Revenge! We must have Dire Revenge™!"
"Revenge! Revenge! We must have Dire Revenge™!"
"Revenge! Revenge! We must have Dire Revenge™!"
"Revenge! Revenge! We must have Dire Revenge™!"
"Revenge! Revenge! We must have Dire Revenge™!"
But the Israeli army denied any involvement in the explosion, hours after Islamic Jihad militants fired rockets into Israel in retaliation for a deadly West Bank raid.
Typical Ham-Ass - Blow up their own people and blame Israel. The've done that before..
"It wuz them! I seen it!"
At least two children were among the dead in the explosion at the rally in the densely packed Jabalya refugee camp, a show of armed force
... and Arab competence...
by Hamas following Israel's withdrawal from Gaza on September 12 after 38 years of occupation. "Israel has targeted a Hamas rally in Jabalya with an airstrike," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri.
In truth one of your suicide-murderers probably got a itchy finger. Whether by accident or on orders (to fulfill Hamas'es leadership's sick addiction to murder of and killing) is unknown.
About 60 people were wounded and medics feared the death toll could rise. The blast turned one of the Hamas vehicles into a makeshift wreck.
What the hell is a "makeshift" wreck? Does that differ from a polished, professionally produced wreck?
Some of the convoy had been carrying makeshift rockets.
Honest to Gawd, we didn't write this. Somebody left it here. I think it was ABC News...
"I was thrown several meters, then I looked behind and I saw people dismembered and lying on the ground dead," said one witness.
"Boy! Was that exciting!"
The incident could stoke militant anger that was already boiling after Israeli troops killed three Islamic Jihad militants in a raid in the West Bank city of Tulkarm.
Seething and Rolling of eyes soon to follow....

#33  I saw a picture the other day of a "Victory Parade" that Hamas had in Gaza. There were a bunch of masked terrorists in formation, each carrying an RPG. Talk about drooling saliva over targets of opportunity!!! The secondaries would have been unbelievable. So now these clowns are self-detonating units. Hey, no problem. I feel bad for the children. I hate to see children raised in such a psychotic environment. THAT is the crime that should be punished.

#32  "except for the baby ducks, of course"

Damn straight, OP. They're far too small to make a tasty meal. Bone-to-meat ratio and all that.

Mama and Daddy, on the other hand.... ;-p

#31  Hamas will self-implode by attacking Israel and getting swatted for their effort. They're also kinda "stuck on stupid" by these parades. I hope and pray that one day Israel decides to napalm the entire parade route, finishing off by carpet-bombing the area with cluster-bombs, and then sitting back and watching the barbecue. I have zero-minus sympathy for the "palestinian" people, Hamas, the PA, Hezbollah, and all the other "murder is my sole reason for existence" people. There is no reason to continue to humor their existence. Kill them all (except for the baby ducks, of course).

#30  #27 ... Military vehicles are valid targets. Don't see what the problem is even if Isreal did it.

Hi boys and girls.

Can you say, "T ar g e t ... o f ... o p p r o t u n i t y ?"

Very good, I knew you could!

#25  There is absolutely no excuse to parade weapons in the streets," Palestinian National Security Adviser Jibril Rajoub said Friday. "The (militant groups) are merely trying to express their power and their capabilities. I would hope Palestinian society will soon be rid of all of these images

#24  Hamas will publically blame Israel but when we see which PA biggie has his offices raided next, then we'll know who Hamas really thought was to blame.

#23  of course it should be added that bringing kids to an event like that was child abuse.

#21  too bad about the kids, good thing the gunnies bought it though.

I doubt the israelis did this, theyve never done anything like this before, and had plenty of opportunities. Probabaly Hamas incompetence.

But are those the ONLY two possibilities? Hamas has other enemies. Could one of Dahlans guys have been involved? "here. weve just got some new explosives infrom Egypt, take it, PLEASE"

#17  They really ought to have reconsidered the wisdom of leading a well attended parade with one of their finest shiny new truck bombs.

Sauce for the goose ... those who live by the sword ... playing with matches in the powder magazine ... and all that.

#15  Ever since I was little I have always wondered why if it is supposedly hard to find a insurgency/terrorist we dont just carpet bomb then when they openly parade in the street. This was more than likly a bad mix of a homemade bomb. Although I would realy like to believe that Isreal and the US were going to begin killing our enemies enmass when they gather but that is to un-PC.

#14  This is why it is important to clearly label your parade vest and store it far away from the operational vest.

#10  If Israel had done it I would expect a much better score here... this was some nitwit showing off their boombelt. "Hold my beer tea and watch this."

#9  I have a feeling this explosion was caused buy a Hamas "makeshift explosive" that was unstable and did what the chemical composition was intended to do just a bit early.

The Joo's didn't do it. They boomed themselves.

#8  Ok, let me get this straight:

1. Hamas boasts of organizing attacks on Israel.
2. Israel responds to Hamas' attacks.
3. In response to this, Hamas stages one of its usual, "we want Dire Revenge (TM)" parades, one of whose distinguishing features is the presence of a target-rich environment of attackers on Israel.
4. Until now, NO attack has ever been launched on these parades by israel.
5. An attack FINALLY HAPPENS.
6. And they whine, bitch, and moan about it.

The Palestinians can dish it out, but definitely can't take it.

I believe the Israelis when they said they didn't do it.

But I'd have cheered none-the-less if they said they DID do it.
