Italian hostage found murdered in Gaza April 15, 2011 ROME (JTA) -- An Italian pro-Palestinian activist was killed by Palestinian Islamic extremists who had kidnapped him in Gaza on Thursday.
Gaza police on Friday found the hanged body of Vittorio Arrigoni when they stormed an apartment in Gaza City where he was being held.
Hours earlier, his kidnappers, a group inspired by Al Qaida calling itself "Monotheism and Holy War," had posted a video showing Arrigoni, 36, blindfolded and with cuts on his face.
His head was held up in front of the camera by a hand gripping his hair.
Israeli media reported that Hamas officials had arrested two men in their investigation of the killing, and were searching for others.
Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano called the killing an act of "terrorist barbarism," and the Foreign Ministry branded it a "vile and irrational gesture of violence on the part of extremists indifferent to the value of a human life."
Arrigoni had lived in Gaza for several years working with the International Solidarity Movement.
The ISM's web site describes the group as a "Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the Israeli apartheid in Palestine by using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles."
The religion of peace is at it again.
They eat their own too...
So let me get this right, they murdered one of their supporters? Is that right? Liberals are truly amazing if they think they are somehow immune from this kind of treatment from these savages.
He got into bed with savage barbarians. They did what they do.........act like savage barbarians.

“”Palestinians Murder Their Supporters”
April 15, 2011 By Daniel Pipes
Note the pattern of Palestinians who murder the groupies and apologists who join them to aid in their dream of eliminating Israel.
Angelo Frammartino, an Italian, was killed by stabbing in eastern Jerusalem in August 2006 by someone affiliated with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Juliano Mer-Khamis, who appears to have been an Israeli citizen, killed in early April 2011 in Jenin by persons unknown.
Vittorio Arrigoni, another Italian, killed in recent days in Gaza by a Salafi group holding him hostage.
(Readers are requested to send in further examples that I may have missed; and this list will be updated as needed.)
Comments: (1) These murders neatly sum up the frenzy and depravity within Palestinian society, surely the sickest on earth, what with its suicide factory, its celebration of terrorists, and its cult of death. (2) Consistent with this morbidity, it also devours its admirers.””
****An Italian pro-Palestinian activist was killed by Palestinian Islamic extremists who had kidnapped him in Gaza on Thursday.****
Wonder if he had time to realize he was a dum bass before they killed him.
From an AP story......
Hamas indirectly accused Israel on Friday of engineering the killing of an Italian Palestinian peace activist in Gaza in order to intimidate other foreign activists hoping to sail to Gaza as part of the next flotilla.
"Such an awful crime cannot take place without arrangements between all the parties concerned to keep the blockade imposed on Gaza," Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said at a rally held by the group to honor executed Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni.
Reminds me of the guy who was “living as one with Grizzly bears”. He passed on to become bear poop.
Lay down with dogs........
I love a great analogy!
If they do this to their friends, just imagine what they are doing to their enemies!
LMAO!!!!
The sad part is, this won’t deter the activists one bit. It’s as if a Jew who supported the Nazis was given a tour of Treblinka, and the fact that he’s next just won’t sink in.
Too soon old. Too late smart.
I’m sorry this person was killed. It still amazes me why more people don’t come to grips with what the radical Islamic movement is, and why it represents a clear and present threat to them. (and of course everyone else)
This blithering idiot was championing the Palestinian cause, and these days that amounts to Palestinian terrorists. Look what it bought him. Folks, I don’t care if your IQ is 25, there’s a message in there somewhere, even for you.
Darwin award for this dope
The dead dude
What a incredibly stupid USEFUL IDIOT. He has paid the ultimate price for his naive support of murderous thugs.
