"Israeli airstrike kills 2 militants accused in reporter’s kidnapping" by Ibrahim Barzak, Associated Press / November 18, 2010
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An Israeli airstrike ripped through a car in Gaza City yesterday, killing two militants accused of helping kidnap a British Broadcasting Corp. journalist in March 2007, officials said.
The men, Islam and Mohammed Yasin, are related and belonged to the Army of Islam, said a Gaza official who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. The shadowy extremist Muslim group draws inspiration from Al Qaeda, though it is not believed to have operational links.
Yeah, well, which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The airstrike left the car in flames and also wounded three people, said Hamas medical official Adham Abu Salmia.
Israel has killed dozens of wanted Palestinian militants — and a number of bystanders — in airstrikes over the years. But Israel has greatly scaled back its operations since early 2009.
Ever notice what an apologist the AmeriKan media is for Israel?

Now the newspapers make perfect sense.
BBC reporter Alan Johnston was released about four months after his abduction in Gaza.
The Army of Islam was also involved in the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in 2006. Schalit remains a captive.

I always wondered how Shalit was liking the Tel Aviv hotel room.
An Israeli military spokesman said Islam Yasin was involved in plans to kidnap Israelis in the Egyptian Sinai. The spokesman, who requested anonymity in line with military rules, said Yasin worked under another Army of Islam operative killed in a Nov. 3 Israeli strike.
Wasn't reported in my Boston Globe.

Israel began its Gaza offensive in December 2008, after years of intense rocket fire from the coastal strip ruled by the Iran-backed militant group Hamas.

Then the Iran thing must be a lie, too.
The fighting devastated the crowded Palestinian territory, killing around 1,400 people, most of them civilians, according to Palestinian and international human rights groups. Thirteen Israelis were killed.
Yeah, NOTHING about the USE of WMDs by ISRAEL!
The Gaza offensive sharply reduced the rocket fire but did not end it entirely.
When they KEEP LYING what are we supposed to think?
That is what made my printed paper.
What did not:
In Britain and elsewhere in Europe, anti-Israeli activists have sought to use the principle of universal jurisdiction to pursue past and current Israeli officials linked to military operations that killed civilians. No cases have gone ahead, but Israeli officials have canceled trips abroad over concerns they could be arrested....
Now THAT is a day WORTH WAITING FOR!

"Abbas says halt to settlements essential; Requires inclusion of East Jerusalem" by Isabel Kershner, New York Times / November 22, 2010
"Isabel Kershner.... is an Israeli citizen.... possible family ties to the Israeli military"
Oh, one of the tough guys of the AmeriKan MSM.
JERUSALEM — Also yesterday, two Israeli soldiers received a three-month suspended prison sentence and were demoted to sergeant from staff sergeant for using a 9-year-old Palestinian boy as a human shield by forcing him to check bags for explosives in Israel’s 2008-09 Gaza war.
Yeah, somehow when ISRAEL DOES IT it is NOT a BIG DEAL; however, any Muslim country due for attack is accused of using their population as such.
Then again, given what we know about the AmeriKan media and who buys them off the coverage is really no surprise -- nor is the cratering circulation.

And FINALLY we get some TRUTH?
"Leader says Hamas would accept peace OK’d in referendum; Haniyeh denies charge Al Qaeda operates in Gaza" by Karin Laub, Associated Press / December 2, 2010
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas would respect any peace deal reached between Israel and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, provided it is approved in a global Palestinian referendum, the top Hamas official in Gaza said yesterday.
It is called representative government and democracy, but I wouldn't expect Americans to know anything about that.
In a rare news conference for foreign media, Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of Gaza’s Hamas government, staked out seemingly pragmatic positions. He said Hamas seeks dialogue with the West and wants to be “part of the solution, not the problem.’’
Israel can't hear you, and thus nor can the U.S.
He also denied Israeli allegations that Al Qaeda operates in Gaza and that Gaza militants planned to carry out attacks in neighboring Egypt.

Not yet.
Haniyeh is considered a leading member of Hamas’s pragmatic wing, and the Islamic militant group often sends mixed messages....
If that isn't the Zionist paper pot hollering kettle again.
Haniyeh said his government remains committed to the referendum idea, which was part of a short-lived Palestinian unity deal reached in 2007, a few months before the violent Hamas takeover of the territory....
Sigh:
"Hamas overwhelmingly won Palestinian Parliament elections in 2006.... Hamas won Palestinian parliamentary elections in early 2006.... In 2006, Hamas won Palestinian legislative elections"
That's a VIOLENT TAKEOVER, huh?
Btw, Hamas foiled a COUP ATTEMPT!!!!
Thanks again for the REPEATED OMISSIONS and LIES, AmeriKan media.
Thus they are NOT TO BE BELIEVED on any matter -- especially ALL THINGS ISRAEL!!!
Since the violent Hamas takeover, Gaza has been largely cut off from the world by an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade....
And they EVEN SAID IT AGAIN!
And look at the Zionist War Daily ALSO IMPLICATE EGYPT in its CRIME!
Last I heard, EGYPT has LEFT the BORDER OPEN after ISRAEL'S ACT of MURDEROUS PIRACY against the GAZA AID FLOTILLA!
Notice ALL THAT is ALSO OMITTED from all this coverage!
Since Israel’s war on Gaza two years ago, meant to halt a barrage of rockets on Israeli border towns, Hamas has largely held its fire.
And the LIES just KEEP on COMING!
However, smaller militant groups, including some inspired by Al Qaeda, have continued to carry out sporadic mortar and rocket attacks on Israel.
Yeah, EVERY TIME ISRAEL NEEDS to DIVERT ATTENTION from something we get rocket attacks from Gaza! What a coinky-dink!
Last month, Israel killed three operatives of an Al Qaeda-inspired group, the Army of Islam, in air strikes in Gaza, saying the men planned to carry out attacks in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
A senior military official said this week that it is not clear whether the militants had planned to kidnap Israeli tourists in the Sinai or use Egypt as a gateway to sneak into Israel to carry out attacks there.
So WHEN is the NEXT ISRAELI FALSE FLAG? Must be soon.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said several armed Gaza militants were still hiding in the Sinai.
He also alleged that Al Qaeda operatives from Yemen have been training militants in Gaza, and that Hamas has obtained thousands of rockets, via smuggling tunnels under the Egyptian border, that can strike deep into Israel.
Yeah, the BULLS*** is getting AWFULLY THICK!
The official did not provide evidence for his allegations.
And even if he did I would suspect forgery.
Haniyeh said such assertions are part of a disinformation campaign meant to prepare for future attacks on Gaza.
Yeah, we have all seen this movie before.
He said he sent a letter to Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, assuring him that Palestinian militants have no plans to attack targets in Arab or Islamic countries....
And if they are accused of it in the Zionist War Daily you know right where to look.
