His name was Abdullah Abu Jaba and I want you to remember it because it’s the last time you’ll hear it. He was a Palestinian from Gaza, reportedly a father of six, and was killed in the latest clashes between Israel and Palestine Islamic Jihad. You haven’t heard of Abu Jaba because he was an inconvenient Palestinian, one who cannot be held up as the latest victim of Zionist aggression. Pictures of his weeping widow and confused children will not fill your social media timeline. Major media outlets will not compete to tell human interest stories about how he played with his children or how his family will cope without him. No US congressmen or British MPs will demand justice for him.
Because Abu Jaba was not killed by Israel, but by Palestine Islamic Jihad. He was a labourer and working on an agricultural building site near Shokeda, a tiny Israeli village near the boundary with Gaza, when a PIJ rocket strike hit on Saturday. He was not protected by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system which only targets rockets heading for populated areas. Abu Jaba and a number of other men were working in a remote field despite an evacuation order issued by the Israeli army. A father will take whatever risks are necessary to put food on the table. Abu Jaba was 34, his eldest child is said to be 11.
He was one of the 18,000 Palestinians from Gaza who go to work in Israel every day. His brother, Hamad, is another. Hamad was seriously injured in the same attack. Israel’s defence ministry has recognised Abu Jaba as a terror victim, meaning his widow and children will receive the same compensation payments that go to Israeli families bereaved by terrorism. Palestinian guest workers in Israel can encounter suspicion, hostility and racism. It’s a relief, albeit a small one, that the Jerusalem bureaucracy will do right by Abu Jaba’s loved ones.
Abu Jaba is not the only inconvenient Palestinian. Among the civilian casualties recorded in the past week were Palestinians Ahmed Muhammad a-Shabaki (51), Rami Shadi Hamdan (16), Yazan Jawdat Fathi Elayyan (16), and Layan Bilal Mohammad Abdullah Mdoukh (10). Each is believed to have perished after Palestine Islamic Jihad rockets fell short and dropped inside Gaza instead of Israel. They join other inconvenient Palestinians, such as the 14 Gazans — half of them children — killed by misfired Palestinian rockets last August, and Mahmoud Abu Asabeh. Abu Asabeh, a Palestinian working in Ashdod, was killed in 2018 when a rocket from Gaza hit his apartment building. He was 48 and had five children.
“His name was Abdullah Abu Jaba and I want you to remember it because it’s the last time you’ll hear it”
After making that statement the author, who is apparently English challenged, goes on to repeat the guy’s name 7 more times.
Palestinians kill Palestinians all the time, and the media pays no attention. And when Palestinian civilians are killed by Israeli soldiers or air strikes, it’s most likely because they were being used as human shields by Palestinian militants. And then the media is always quick to blame the Israelis.
Let’s see. Weren’t the Jooz there first? May have been a couple thousand years back. So why are the Palestinians the ‘victims’? I never heard if them until Munich 1972. Heck of a way to get the world’s attention. A house gets bulldozed for throwing a rock. It’s a bit overkill-true. “Nobody wants them”, especially the other Arabs. So what’s the answer? Their positive contributions to the world is ancient history. Nobody likes doing business with the JOOZ. Palestinials are finding out the hard way.
They need a homeland. They have one. It’s called Jordan.
"He's the neighborhood bully!"
It's called Egypt, Libya, Saudia Arabia, Iraq, basically any country run by Arabs.
dfw-as I wrote “Nobody wants them” The left in turn translates it into a western problem.
I think they’d be crazy without an Israel.
Next one. Since Jooz are not a very popular ‘chosen’ people who mistreat others, do they treat each other any different?
Palestinians are their own worst enemies.
At least...aggrieved blacks do not murder other blacks here in America!
It is akin to guns killing people without human agents pulling triggers.

Biden yesterday at Uvalde, all he could come up is repeating the words: “gun lobby”.
“Palestinians kill Palestinians all the time, and the media pays no attention. And when Palestinian civilians are killed by Israeli soldiers or air strikes, it’s most likely because they were being used as human shields by Palestinian militants. And then the media is always quick to blame the Israelis.”

Nameless, faceless rockets. Just flying around and crashing at random.
An amazing phenomenon to be sure.
Yup. Gotta watch it.
Damned things all over the place!
I’ll tell you what.
Israel will immediately agree to a Two State Solution and give up its nation-and-peoplehood as soon as its critics agree to equal principles and conditions of justice for their own lands:
WHAT’S GOOD FOR ME, IS GOOD FOR THEE.
We can agree:
When the fifty-five or so Muslim states allow their citizens to freely convert out of Islam and practice Judaism and Christianity with equal rights (as 25% of Israel’s mostly Arab citizens and Christians freely can, some of whom serve in Israel’s Knesset, armed forces, and Supreme Court), those self-same Muslim nations will immediately see a two state solution established in Israel.
Right after Muslim states will have created a two state solution for themselves, one governed by Muslims, the other by Jews, Israel will agree to a Two State Solution. Fair enough?
When the nations of northern Africa and Asia from whom 800,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed, raped, robbed, expelled during Israel’s 1948 War of Liberation, will have paid reparations to Israel’s displaced Jews and their now four million descendants, return their businesses, real estate and farms, Israel will make reparations to the 320,000 or so so-called “Palestinians” displaced from Israel. Fair and square?
When European, African or Asian nations will have relinquished their sovereignty to their mortal enemies, Israel will also live up to the same international norms and standards and rule of law their critics demand of it, but never would consider for themselves.
Then, and only then will Israel relinquish The Jewish State to other’s rule.
