How soon we forget
After what looks like a very successful strike on one of their training camps Hamas is calling for revenge. With so much atrocity last week, I thought I'd post a reminder to parse out the correct sequence of events
This is from the funeral of one of the victims of the Beer Sheva bombing, that seems to have happened ages ago. If I remember the initial reports correctly, Truainet Takala was a Falasha from Ethiopia. Am I the only one who finds it so sadly ironic that she or her family were rescued from famine and war only to lose her life in Israel?
Update - Here is a quote from the PA's press release on the Gaza strike
Local residents in the area of Qurum, east of Gaza City, said they heard
deafening consecutive explosions in a nearby soccer field, where a group of
Hamas supporters were holding a boy scouts' camp. They then rushed to field to be shocked with the scene of bleeding bodies scattered everywhere. [emphasis mine]
Poor kids. What were their parents thinking, letting the troop meet in a terrorist camp!
Huh. That kid looks...kinda old. Must be an Eagle Scout
Apparently this tyke hasn't earned his shaving merit badge yet
