“Militants” Threaten to Kidnap and Murder
“Feckless, terror-enabling Western media” seems to be today’s theme.
Reading this release from al-Reuters, you have to wonder what it would take to get them to use the word “terrorist.” Apparently, threatening to kidnap and murder women and children doesn’t do it: Militants Threaten Israel Over Barghouthi Life Term.
GAZA (Reuters) - Militants in Palestinian President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement threatened Monday to kidnap and execute Israeli soldiers and civilians to avenge a life prison term given to uprising leader Marwan Barghouthi.
“We urge all our fighters to kidnap Zionists, children, women and soldiers and sentence them to death,” the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said in a statement faxed to Reuters after an Israeli court sentenced Barghouthi on murder convictions. …
Calling the ruling handed down Sunday “unjust, illegal and wrong,” the Brigades warned that their “response will be painful against the Zionist enemy.
”We call on all our cells in all the Palestine homeland to kidnap Israeli soldiers and civilians and execute them,“ and to ”strike the Zionist enemy wherever it exists in our homeland,” the statement said.
