Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Palestinians killed in missile strike
2006-01-03
Police in the Gaza strip say their superiors will not let them take on powerful crime families which are contributing to the anarchy gripping the territory. In the most recent incident, Palestinian medics say two Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli missile strike on a car in the Jabaliyah refugee camp.
I'm not sure that has anything to do with taking on the Barzini Family...
The car reportedly belonged to members of the Islamic Jihad militant group.
The Tortellini Family of Islamic Jihad, I'd guess...
In central Gaza armed men loyal to the ruling Fattah faction ambushed a group of police and stole their vehicles after heavy exchange of fire.
Perhaps the police should go to the mattresses?
The men are part of an organisation that briefly kidnapped an Italian peace activist on the weekend.
That'd be Fat Mustafa and Greasy Thumb Abdul-Aziz. They're affiliated with the Canneloni Clan...
In the southern town of Rafah, police stormed a government building to protest against the growing lawlessness.
Police... stormed... a... gummint... building... to... protest... against... growing... lawlessness. My mind just boggled.
Earlier police and gunmen from a faction of the ruling Fatah movement exchanged fire in the Khan Younis area of the southern Gaza Strip. There were no reports of casualties in that incident.

#13  The missile hit has nothing to do with Paleo incompetence or lack of will to fight the mobsters, it is just a typical Jew-baiting blurb included by the MSM.

Making the assumption that these guys are on the up-and-up (a stretch, to be sure), who are their superiors' superiors? Seems to me that removing these obstacles would do the trick, assuming that the obstruction complaints aren't just phony excuses.

And this has to do with anarchy stoked by "crime families" in what way?

#11  Excellent tourist opportunity to set up vacation packages for the anarchists of the world. Live The Dream of Your Life! You could use big puppets on the brochures.

#9  Why would anybody become a paleo police officer ?
The pay ? The retirement benes ? Free parking ?
Free bullets ?

#8  The only reason they are protesting the crime and corruption is cuz they're not on the receiving end.

Paleo policy is, "if I've got mine, eff you! oh....and death to the joooos"

Muslim logic. I must be missing something. Kind of like burning cars in france to make people like you.

#6  The amusing bit being the police complaining when we all know that they are double dipping, either belonging to one of the many terror factions or working after hours for their cousin, the Mafia sheikh. And being policemen, I would suspect they aren't high enough in their second organization to do anything but take orders... which no doubt they follow with typical Palestinian inefficiency.
