Video: A Lynching in Gaza

Fri, Jun 15, 2007 at 6:21:57 pm

I’m warning you up front.

Don’t watch this video if you don’t want to see what’s been happening in Gaza, up close, apparently recorded with a cell phone after some unfortunate person was lynched and beaten to a pulp. They’re still kicking the body. And someone helpfully picks up and displays what’s left of the head so the cell phones can get a good shot.

There are no words.

And by the way, I’m not kidding one bit. Don’t watch this if you’re aren’t mentally prepared. I may remove it after a short run.

UPDATE at 6/15/07 6:39:32 pm:

The dead terrorist is apparently Fatah thug Samih al-Madhoun: Hamas gunmen hunt down Fatah rivals in Gaza strip.

It’s payback time in Gaza, where victorious Hamas gunmen dragged the body of one of their main Fatah opponents through a refugee camp on Thursday.

Hamas’ armed wing said it had “executed” leading Fatah militant Samih al-Madhoun, who had previously broadcast a pledge to kill all members of the Islamist movement.
