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 “endangered species” treatment? Well, here’s hoping.

That is a powerful work-up. Thanks for posting it.

I copied the thing for use later.

Why is that?

The rabbis teach that if you know that someone is going to try and kill you it is your duty to rise up and kill them first.

It’s very basic natural law that works well if you refuse to be a victim.

This is perfect.

And it is 100% accurate.

When the balloon goes up, and the blood starts to flow, the VERY FIRST targets MUST be the 'journalists'.

Not all the journalists. Just the 98% who give the other two percent a bad name.

“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. “

Were they in uniform? No? Too bad for them! No war crime.

...here we go again.

The Arab-Muslims ALWAYS accuse their enemies of atrocities that THEY THEMSELEVES WOULD or actually DO commit.
They always blame you for carrying out terrible things that they do on a daily basis..scum.

If they didn’t bury the 6 with bacon stuffed in their mouths, then there needs to be an investigation.
