From Ynet: Ambulance service officials said the victims include two men aged about 25 and 40, as well as two women of roughly the same ages, one of them pregnant.
From Jpost: A ZAKA volunteer who arrived on the scene recognized his wife’s body. “We saw him crying at the scene and didn’t understand what was happening at first. It wasn’t the first disaster he saw,” his colleague, Isaac Berenstein, told the Post. “Then he shouted, ‘that’s my wife!’ That’s my wife!’”
This is what Hamas describes as ‘heroic’. The response from the Israel-bashers in the West is underway and sickening. My thoughts and prayers are with the dead and their loved ones.
Hamas’s ‘courage’ is once again on display for cretins to applaud, apologists to excuse, and those in denial to simply ignore.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, children are celebrating the “heroics” of their murderers. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3947331,00.html (scroll down to the sickening photo of the young boys in Gaza).
This is the historian in me talking, and I am not saying that people have not been celebrating (and it does not surprise me that in Gaza they would celebrate something so horrible), but that picture could be of anything. That picture might not be related at all to the events described in the article. I am very wary of random photos without knowing where it came from and what it is actually portraying.
DF, thanks for that. I always appreciate someone who fact-checks.
This CiFWatch post http://cifwatch.com/2010/09/01/pictures-dont-lie-but-the-guardians-editorial-decisions-grossly-distort-reality/ shows three captioned photos (with date and time stamps) of celebrations in Gaza following the shooting(one of which is the photo in the YNet article). The captions are written by their respective wire agencies (AP and Reuters), and the photos are credited to Hatem Moussa (AP)and to Mohammed Salem (Reuters).
Cool. Thank you and sorry! I find that being a supporter of Israel I always need to fact check, what with all of the spin usually created against them!
DF, absolutely no need to apologise! I meant what I said about the fact-checking (I hope it didn’t come across as sarcastic, I didn’t intend it that way).
it`s funny how the title sais “4 israelis killed” and not murdered
or the fact that the foregin media didnt even published it, and when it did it forgot to mention that those animals performed a kill confermation on a pregnant woman!!!!
i pitty the people who consider those monsters “heroes”
and btw, that kind of terror act is the reason that the “apartheid roads” where created in the first place
