Wanted Terrorists in West Bank not getting dates, taxi rides and coffee service
2007-11-13
IMRA version of a Nov 13 Haaretz story
A group of militants from the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, all on Israel's wanted list, strolled into Fawzi Baba, a coffeehouse in the Tul Karm refugee camp around noon. Within a few seconds, a scene that has become routine took place: Everyone dropped their card games and rushed out.....

"Let's say a wanted man orders a taxi from the nearest stand," Abu Talab [non al aqsa member]explains. The driver comes, sees who he's dealing with and steps on the gas.......

"I wanted to marry a girl from the camp," [Al Aqsa member] Mawid Abu Taman relates, "but because I'm wanted, her father refused. What kind of life could I offer her?"

#17  Damn hard to get dates now that Saddam's not giving out money to the wifes of homicide bombers anymore.

What's a guy to do?

I bet Camels and goats don't like the smell of explosives either.....

#12  Although the place emptied out with their arrival, there is no mention as to whether the paino player quit, and if the bartender dipped below the counter for his shotgun. And just WHERE did the dancing girls run off to?????

#11  I wouldn't want my daughter dating them either. The difference is that she does as she damn well pleases. All I can do is hope she knows better.

#9  Hah Seafarious!

Thats exactly what I thought about. the problem with coffee is that if they get scalded, they might explode at the register.

#8  They're all my friends, but I wouldn't want
my daughter to marry one. I want her to have a good life, without having the army coming into her house all the time to arrest her while her husband escapes into the streets.


Damn! It's the Zionist Occupiers! Jamilya, time to take one for the team! I'm outta here. Inshallah...

#7  Time for the CIA to open a coffeehouse, Mossad to start driving taxis, and MI6 to run a dating service in West Bank.

#3  i really like how everyone runs out of the Coffee house when the militants walk in, like some scene from West Side Story. Evidently some folks understand the IDF is active.

#2  I hear they have some fine looking camels around those parts.
