Did Israel Execute Jihadists in Gaza?
The Daily Beast ^ | 09.07.14 | Jesse Rosenfeld

Posted on 09/07/2014 11:28:47 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows

GAZA CITY, Gaza—More than a month after The Daily Beast reported evidence suggesting Israeli soldiers carried out the summary execution of six men amid fierce combat in late July, there are no signs that the Israeli government is investigating the matter. It has declined to respond to repeated inquiries. The independent organizations Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, which the Israeli authorities have barred from Gaza, are unable to follow up in detail. And a United Nations investigation of abuses on both sides is barely under way.

The Daily Beast has continued its own investigation, however. And the picture that’s emerging tends to confirm the story of a summary execution, on the one hand, while undermining subsequent reports by some in the international press who suggest the dead men, left to rot in the bathroom of a battered house, were merely innocent bystanders. Instead, they appear to have been hardened guerrilla fighters from Islamic Jihad who were trying to ambush Israeli soldiers when they themselves were caught, captured, herded into an abandoned bathroom and gunned down in an incident that, if confirmed, would be a war crime

The notion of “war crimes” is pretty meaningless when no jihadist will ever be held to account for his war crimes except by the IDF or the US Marines.

In any case, the right answer for a captured jihadist is summary execution. This shouldn’t be a crime or an anomaly, it is the right answer. Any captured jihadist should be dealt with immediately. His only chance at saving his life should be to sing like a canary, and even at that, once he runs out of things to sing about, he should meet a swift end in front of a wall.

“War Crime”

1) What war?
2) What crime?

Nothing like turning the tied on the enemy.

The Daily Beast, propagandist for the satan worshipping enemy. Reporter sounded like he wanted to give the jihadist a few glasses of wine and then...

There's ample precedent in the treatment of captured pirates. Pity that no-one has the stones to say so, though.

Leave it to the shameful online magazine, the Gaily Bestiality, to find something to weep about for hardened Jihadist muslims.

If they were around in 1945, they would bemoan the loss of Nazi Germans in the battlefield.

Frankly, Israel has my blessing on this trifecta.

If it’s true...

Shoot

Shovel

Shut up
