This story is reported by
the Palestinian media
outlet, Friends of Al
Aqsa.
Local sources confirmed to the PIC that big numbers of IOF troops infiltrated into the village, south of Jenin city, and surrounded house of Abul Rub, 23, after he refused to surrender.
Fierce clashes between the Palestinian fighter and the invading IOF troops took place at the house of Abul Rub that led to his martyrdom after IOF troops peppered his body with bullets, the sources added.
Body of the Palestinian martyr was seized by the IOF troops that wreaked havoc in the house and humiliated family of the martyr before turning over the body to the Palestinian Red Crescent and retreated from the area amidst intensive machinegun fire.

According to local eyewitnesses in the village, PA security forces under Mahmoud Abbas were deployed in the village's streets but suddenly disappeared from the area as the IOF troops rolled into the village.

Islamic Jihad background.
The group is based in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and its financial backing is believed to come from there and Iran. The group operates primarily in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but has also carried out attacks in Jordan and Lebanon. Its main strongholds in the West Bank are the cities of Hebron and Jenin.
Islamic Jihad has much in common with Hamas. They both have an Islamist agenda, they call for the destruction of Israel, they have cooperated in attacks against Israel, they formed as offshoots of Egypt's Islamic Brotherhood, and they receive funds from Iran

the terrorist is israel. invading and assasinating an enemy. israel is the new beacon of hate and racism, and its moral bankruptcy is a major cause for the financial bankruptcy wave of late.
if hamas is a terrorist organization, then israel that began its young nation with the terrorist bmbing of the british king david hotel killing 91 has become a super-terrorist nation. their example robs any nation of hope in the face of the current consumer and climate crises.

uniteduniverse:
You're saying the Jews are responsible for the worlds' economic malaise? That's original.
at 04:32 on February 6th, 2009
uniteduniverse did not say that. you did.
what is said is that the moral bankruptcy of the most inhuman state in the middle east, 500 infractions of human right and international law violations by israel recorded at the United Nations, the most of any nation, Israel adds them to the list along with Kim Jong Il and the his gualgs, the south Sudan and the recent Congo-Rwanda genicide, the Kosovo ethnic cleansers, and the US government since WW2, the biggest killer of all time.
this moral bankruptcy, and one might as well add Zimbabwe ZANUs and Mugabe, that a developed nation such as Israel exhibits with its careless and murderous revengeful rage against 420 now-dead Palestinian children, and 1000s crippled by Israel, all in the name of some homemade rockets fired by the Palestinians in sefl defense as they are being blockaded and incarcerated, their rights offended, their education, families and medical car deteriorated by Israel and its partner the USA.
it is also to note that Canada is also losing its moral stature. not moral in any trivial sense, like fedelity in marriage, but on a huge human scale.
the excuses made in the blogs and social web for israel are so thin and inconsequential that you wonder if the Israelis have lost their own memory of what inhumanity leads to.
moral bankruptcy of Israel, clear from the viciousness they exhibited in Gaza to make some ridiculous point that their own inmates blockaded into Gaza must stop rioting with rockets.
moral bankruptcy is the root of the loss of consumer confidence, and the growing financial bankruptcy. wait and see. yet moral bankruptcy is not solved by any religion, or idiotic ideology that would criticize someone wearing a veil, or having a strict code of law within their society. moral bankruptcy is replenished by morality, not of any particular creed, just shared tolerance, and a return to feelings, believing in the goodness of human nature, and that will then boost confidence and trust and the financial situation will rebalance, the robbers on wall street will be ousted, the war criminals in israel as well will be dealt with according to international law.

your chum said exactly what he said. it is tired anti-Semitic rhetoric.
And you speak as if the israelis don't have women and children to protect, and as if the plo, hamas, and so-called freedom fighters, etc. are flowers that need only be left alone in peace... that has been tried. no, the rules of engagement have always been crystal clear. if Israel is threatened - in word or deed - this will be taken seriously. Threats to destroy Israel uttered by individuals or groups will be taken at face value. Why is this so hard to understand? If you or I or anyone behaved differently we'd be on the ash heap of history.
Far from forgetting what inhumanity leads to, as you have suggested, the Jews of Israel remember only to clearly where they will wind up if they fail to respond to these threats against their own humanity.

Arab armies invaded Israel the day after the UN resolution divided the Palestine mandate.
Islamic Jihad charter says Israel must be destroyed.
He was a legal military target.

158,
the use of assassination is nothing to be proud of. the consequence is that leaders will be assissinated in any land, as a developed nation gone criminal like israel sets the precedent. assassination is against international law, it is not an option, it is barbaric. like the use of torture, its end does not justify its means.

Please keep in mind the Code of Conduct here on NP. Thank you.

Moral Bankruptcy? No such thing?. lack of morals or no morals. And in any case its got nothing to do with the Israeli Arab conflict morals are not really an issue its hate, racialism and religious indifference and power and revenge. There of course is a lack of morals of a person that spreads propaganda are you referring to the hate mongering, lying and deceit and a lack of balance that shows both sides to be just as guilty as the other.
The Israeli Arab conflict can not be tied with the present financial and global problem of which was caused by greed, fraud and bad speculation and mostly by hype.
Plus if you are referring to human moral standards as a whole are worst today than yesterday well you need to think again as your very wrong. Humans are weak beings many sin like mad and many sin at weak moments. Who's going to throw the first stone? Bet you have sinned and of course you have or you would not be human, lol
Its a sad world humans often behave like animals and some worst than animals and thats been the same since man has existed.

Well said Babel-Fish. Sad but true.

Very good comment.
In general I agree with you about the current state of world morality.

Thank you Paschen, point noted.
worldwildwest, This is what was said:
"israel ... and its moral bankruptcy is a major cause for the financial bankruptcy wave of late."
Either this poster (uniteduniverse) doesn't understand what he's saying or he is clearly blaming Israel for the economic meltdown. That is exactly the argument used by Hitler in the 1930s to explain the economic crisis in Europa. The results of those lies are well known. Your effort to defend that post make me suspicious of anything you have to say.
If Israel is the cause of our 'financial bankruptcies of late' then what are we to make of over-extended bad credit, living beyond our means, immoral mismanagement by gov'ts and corporations, consumerism and greed? Are the Israelis somehow responsible for this as well?
uniteduniverse made claims that need to be challenged and refuted. Failure to do so a generation ago led to the destruction of 50 million lives.

Yellow Guitar.
Thanks for several good points.
These same words they use here are repeated over and over on anything about Gaza.
