Palestinian terrorists murdered an Ecuadorian farm worker in Israel today, and Israel struck back again against the rocket attacks and constant murder attempts from the Hamas degenerates in Gaza: Israeli forces kill 16 Palestinians in Gaza.

And President Bush’s ally, the “moderate” Mahmoud Abbas, is sticking up for Hamas.

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed 16 Palestinians, nearly all of them Hamas militants, in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, in a raid the Palestinian Authority said was a “slap in the face” to U.S. President George W. Bush’s peace efforts.

A volunteer from Ecuador, working on an Israeli kibbutz, or farming community, bordering the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, was killed by a Palestinian sniper near the frontier fence. Hamas claimed responsibility for shooting the man.

The violence, four days after Bush ended a visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank, resulted in the highest number of Palestinians killed in a single day since late 2006. Israel said it mounted the operation to curb rocket attacks from Gaza.

Local medical workers and Hamas said 16 Palestinians — 13 Hamas men, one other militant and two civilians — were killed in fighting with Israeli forces in the northern part of the territory and east of Gaza City.

“There was a massacre today against our people, and we say to the world that our people will not remain silent against such crimes,” said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah faction lost control of the Gaza Strip to Hamas in June.
