Chaos continues to reign in Gaza

2007-04-05

Johnson! Stop the presses!!
Gaza - Ma'an - Palestinian security sources announced on Thursday that the dead body of a Palestinian man, Muhammad Abu Hijaila, was found near the Shuja'iyya market in north-eastern Gaza Strip. The sources reported that the corpse was found riddled with gunshots and the reasons for his death remain unclear.
That "riddled with gunshots" thing maybe have sumthin to do with it?
On the other hand, there were several tit for tat abductions in Gaza City on Thursday; two Fatah-affiliated men were kidnapped near Al-Quds Open University in the southern Gaza Strip. Moreover, unidentified gunmen abducted an unidentified woman in Sheikh Zayid square in the northern Gaza Strip.
So would that make this one a "tits for tat" kidnappings?
Meanwhile, the Palestinian independent corporation for citizen's rights reported that the Gaza Strip is witnessing a state of security confusion with masked gunmen dominating the streets despite the formation of the unity government.
Hey! C'mon, guys! Unity government, remember? Everything's supposed to be all better now! Didn't you get the memo?
The corporation added that 29 Palestinians were killed during March as a result of the security chaos; 25 were killed in the Gaza Strip and 4 in the West Bank. Nine of the victims were killed in the Hamas-Fatah conflict, while 8 met their end due to weapon misuse and general chaos. Four others died in clan conflict and 3 women were killed as a result of so-called 'family honor' crimes. The last five people were killed in unknown circumstances.
Polar bear attacks? Werewolves? Running with scissors? Just tryin to help out...
In the same context, 46 people were abducted, including one foreign journalist. Furthermore, at least 120 Palestinians were injured in various incidents related to political and tribal conflicts, among other conflicts.
Red Sox-Yankees? Taste great-less Filling? Paper-plastic?

#12 gromgoru, #9, yeah... that is the dilema... should we all get big MF SUVs so ME oil runs out faster? Then issue new bills and after a short sunset time frame refuse to replace/exchange the old ones.

Well, here is another idea... taking over ME oil fields. I mean, that was the presumed purpose of WoT-Iraq theater by libruls/moonbats, so we as well should do it at some point. ;-)

#11 Hell wasn't Pelosi just there? I thought she said there would be "Peace in our time." Maybe that was another learnered politician.

#8 Chaos! Only in Gaza is that considered a product of the local environment. If it contributed to GDP, Gaza's would be the highest in the world.

"Mystery Attacks Continue In Gaza Strip"
Senior PLA officials reportedly remain mystified this week following sporadic attacks by what were reported as polar bears, werewolves, running with scissors, zombies, and other perpetrators.

However, when confronted with the direct methods of the attacks, including video-tape and photographic evidence, PLA officials stated that they were "investigating and had not yet determined the precise nature of the attackers."

On Wednesday, the bullet-riddled corpse of an individual purportedly named Muhammad Abu Hijaila was found near the Shuja'iyaa market in north-eastern Gaza Strip. Ine official, who declined to be identified, is reported as saying "PLA security forces suspect a werewolf was the cuplrit in this incident given the evidence."

In other news, zombie hordes are continuing to run amok in Cuba since the reputed outbreak began. Public officials in the USA have speculated that the outbreak began as a result of Cuban President Fidel Castro's penchant for consuming human flesh, which appears to be related to his operations last year to cure intestinal cancer. Since Castro has not been seen in months, American officials speculated that the Cuban President had succumbed to his illness, been reanimated as one of the walking dead, and had then been confined to his hospital bed for some period of time.

"Sometime shortly after Castro's operation," said one American official. "We believe he broke containment and began this horrific plague."

Cuban officials refused to comment on the Amrican speculations beyond stating that President Castro was "doing well in his recovery and will be resuming his power and authority within the next few weeks."

#4 Between poor marksmanship and meager organizational skills these idjits will never work their way up to a full scale civil war. More's the pity. Few other people on earth are more deserving of their loathsome fate than the Palestinians.

#3 Oh Come on! How long does it take to work up to full Civil War? Geez guys, you are freakin' slackers!
