theese people bought into stans lie

AP hates civilization as usual.

This girl's death is unfortunate, but, personally, if I was a 14 year old girl living in gaza under hamas, death would be a welcome release.

I hope she rests in peace.

"Damascus-based Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said Saturday that acceptance of a cease-fire would be merely a “tactic” in the group’s struggle with the Jewish state."

Proving that even Hamas is sometimes a lot more truthful than Jimmy Carter.

I wish we had revoked Jimmah's citizenship so he could enjoy moments like this up close.

AP Photoshop software queued-up and ready to go...

Hamas did not provide details about Marouf, but as a field commander in the border area with Israel he would presumably be involved in firing rockets at Israeli border communities.

That line pretty much says it all; it reveals the AP knows what's up. They're just reluctant to admit it, here.

Tap tap tap. Sympathy meter is pegged on zero and isn't budging.

14 yr old girl, sorry about who your daddy is and the fact that he put your life in peril.

Cogs not here yet to stir the pot?

Hmmm, trying to find sympathy for any Palestinian............Nope failed effort......Screw em all.........

Proving that even Hamas is sometimes a lot more truthful than Jimmy Carter.

And proving that the Israelis are right to refuse this 'offer'.

Reading the above news, I sometimes get the feeling that the MSM would love nothing better than seeing Hamas and the IDF attacking each other with stone axes, or rather, that the IDF may only use stone axes while Hamas can use proper Damascene swords!

I'm getting too angry to type ...

Will the other seven terrorists who got killed now have as one of their seventy two virgins (or seven times seventy two virgins) this fourteen year old virgin, for eternity? Is this teenager better off in heaven than she would have been being raised by this terrorist monster she called a father?
Does this teenager get seventy two male virgins (where they will come from, I don't know, male virgins always seem in short supply in the world) and whom will the teen ager choose (or does she have to choose?) to be the virgin for these seven terrorists or to be serviced by the seventy two male virgins? Islam is so nuanced, I leave these thorny theological questions to those more skilled in it.

The only real loser here is the 14-year old girl.

Another loser here is the death of the honest reporting.

"Damascus-based Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said Saturday that acceptance of a cease-fire would be merely a “tactic” in the group’s struggle with the Jewish state."

"Oops... did I say that out loud! Hahahahaha!"

/spit

However, a Hamas spokesman, Abdel Latif al-Qanou, said the army prevented ambulances from reaching the house to evacuate the wounded daughter and wife and claimed this led to the girl's death.

So which is it ?

Doesn't matter to the AP. If an Israeli didn't shoot her in cold blood, they stopped her from getting to the hospital. Like that stupid Bee.

#12

Men get the virgins. Women get their husbands. Young girls get bupkes, I guess.

Remember, that 14 year old girl could hardly be described as 'innocent'. She was after all, the daughter of a wanted terrorist, and her mind, like that of any other 14 year old in that neck of the woods, would have been hardwired into hating all infidels and wanting us dead. She probably rejoiced every time innocent Israelis got killed in terrorist atrocities, and she might well have one day volunteered to be a shaheed. What a pity this wanted terrorist and the other 10 hadn't suffered the same fate as this girl.

Those seven terrorists were only wounded, not killed.

"Damascus-based Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said Saturday that acceptance of a cease-fire would be merely a “tactic” in the group’s struggle with the Jewish state"

Well, of course!

Cease-fire = Reload

I don't trust a single word from these AP (Assist Pali's) stories.

Here's the first sentence:

Israeli forces grabbed a Hamas field commander from his Gaza home Saturday, setting off heavy fighting that killed the wanted man’s 14-year-old daughter

Here's the last 2 sentences:

At some point, Israeli forces surrounded Marouf’s house, with the family inside, and heavy fighting erupted. The military said troops came under fire from inside the house.

So, did the Israeli forces grab the commander and then the fighting started or did they surround the house and the fighting it started. The details are left vague and slippery enough so you want to have empathy for the Pali's.

Sorry, but it's not working and the AP just looks more and more ridiculous.

Similar to Clinton: Putting women and children first...IE: as they hide beneath the skirts as the bombs fall.

Some try to compare these 'militants' terrorists with our own founders.

As if the Founders built America that way.

re: #12 eaglewingz08

The way I see it, Islam is just plain EVIL.

7 terrorists wounded? the IDF needs to spend more time at the range

Hamas has offered to hold its fire for six months, provided Israel ends its nearly yearlong blockade of Gaza, but Israeli officials have been cool to the idea.

The world (except for Condi) now knows that such words are worthless from a Moslem. What the Moslem calls a "hudna", the West sees as proof that Moslems have no honor and in fact delight in lying to their infidels - their only "honor" is in occassionally admitting as much. The point being that the words are not necessary - if Hamas held its fire, Israel would, too. But Hamas will not do so, even in their own interest - well, I suppose they don't see that it is in their own interest, or why haven't they done so?

Regarding the poor girl, see the article popping up in the daily mail headlines on the right, Teenage Iraqi girl who fell in love with BRITISH soldier in Basra is murdered by her own father in honour killing

Her own mother, Leila Hussein, has spoken out about the crime, revealing how her husband called out that he was cleansing "his honour" as he carried out the murder.

She told the Observer he was arrested after the brutal murder but was released without charge two hours later because it was an "honour killing".

"He was released two hours later because it was an 'honour killing'. And unfortunately that is something to be proud of for any Iraqi man," she told the paper.

The lefties keep saying, "Why don't the Israelis just go after the people who are attacking them and not civilians?" This is the case in point. The "people who are attacking them" are embedded, entwined, and hiding behind the civilians, even their own kids. The lefties just can't admit it because it goes against their wishful thinking and the narrative they have chosen to perpetuate, regardless of facts.

Under ''resources'' Charles has a subheading: Palestinian Child Abuse.
Included are many pics of children in terror garb.
There are a few pics of children mixed in with shooters on the streets and countryside.
Personally, I'd like to see just those types of pics in a separate section.....just to make them easier to get to.
But, frankly, after all of the little girls on Hamas TV preaching to all these pali children about the greatness of martyerdom I think she was a volunteer.

I used to report stories like this to CAMERA but lately it seems like trying to put out one little fire after another in a field full of them.

Who or what is CAMERA?

Dear Charles and LGF,
For the sake of truth and objectivity, I think it's about time that we start referring to AP more accurately as:
Associated Pravda.

TIA

What kind of a man hides behind his daughter? What kind of a man, in that situation puts his family's life in danger? A real man would have either surrendered peacefully or stepped out in to the open and away from the family and died with his guns blazing. But then again, commies and Islamofascist are not real men.

Also, remember that they are so spiritually advanced that they blur into their next life. The believers think that the next life they and their family in this case are going to paradise. It is a good thing to them to send their 14 yr old to paradise. It's worse than human sacrifice.

I think we've known for a while that the AP loves it some terrorists.

Does free advertising and propaganda count as a contribution? If so, does the AP's routine lies in favor of the Palestinian terrorists count as a contribution? If so, is AP an organization that funds terror?

Can we do something about this now?

It would be nice at least if someone in a position of power could at least hold a press conference (or a series of conferences) explaining AP's lies. The Israelis seem to take a "water off a duck's back" attitude about this kind of coverage rather than getting in the face of the terror shills and giving them what-for.

CAMERA

Founded in 1982, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America is a media-monitoring, research and membership organization devoted to promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East. CAMERA fosters rigorous reporting, while educating news consumers about Middle East issues and the role of the media. Because public opinion ultimately shapes public policy, distorted news coverage that misleads the public can be detrimental to sound policymaking. A non-partisan organization, CAMERA takes no position with regard to American or Israeli political issues or with regard to ultimate solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict. ^†

re: #34 justadot

Ah, thankee...

Probably she wasn't being used as a "shield"; she was just a family member who somehow got in the way of Israel's retaliation after dear ol' Dad got discovered doing Palestinian "business" (well, that IS all they export, right? rockets and rpg shells?) from home as usual.

For us in the west they'll tout her death as a tragedy; but in the bosom of her Islamic family, her "death in the cause of Allah" has guaranteed everybody a ticket to Paradise, right? So at home, they're thanking Allah for his compassion and mercy.

Just call it a honor killing and the MSM will rewrite the story and omit the killing.

Knowing the muslims, she was probably killed by one of them.

I found an interesting link (orangeducks is talking about Iraq, but the Middle Eastern/Muslim mentality is the same all over the region):

[Link: antiprotester.blogspot.com...]

I found humor in his statement: "Only in the Middle East can one be called a thief and a liar for conniving to make the terms of a contract clear, and then expecting those terms to be met after the contract is signed."

If you've read Bill Whittle's excellent article at

[Link: www.ejectejecteject.com...]

(scroll down to the game theory referred to as "The Prisoner's Dilemma" & following discussion) you'll recognize the Middle East as a "screw-the-other-guy" society. They can't help it. It's the most successful strategy in their "culture". AND THAT IS WHY ISLAMIC/MIDDLE EASTERN "CULTURE" IS TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY, IRREVOCABLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH WESTERN CULTURE, AND IT'S WHY APPEASMENT AND CONCILIATION IS ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG TACTIC.

"The military said troops came under fire from inside the house."

That's actually worse than admitting the terrorists started the firefight. To the typical moonbat it says that the Israelis started and then blamed the terrorists, but AP can't prove the Israelis are lying.

A truly weaselly narration, Goebbels would've been proud.

I am waiting in vain for the American and European media to write an expose on the degree to which Palestinian terrorists use and hide behind their civilian populations in order to attempt to kill Israeli civilians, or how Israeli soliders have been killed as a result of attempting to avoid causing Palestinian civilian deaths.

One of the key principals of the Israel Defence Forces has always been " tohar ha'neshek", in rough translation purity of arms, in other words avoiding civilian casualties.

The Palestinians have repeatedly engaged in war crimes, and against their own people in principle, but the usual media have been willing accomplices because the false Palestinian narrative meets their leftist, anti-American ends.
