Thousands attend funeral procession of Palestinians killed in IDF shelling, most of them members of Atamna family. Relatives talk about unbearable sights and about what keeps them alive. MK Mohammad Barakeh calls on mourners to 'unite against the root of evil the occupation'
Ali Waked, Beit Hanoun Published: 11.09.06, 13:55
Maali Atamna, whose brothers, nephews, brother-in-law and sisters-in-law were killed in Wednesday's tragic incident in Beit Hanoun, told Ynet on Thursday that "we only want to see the Jews put their casualties into sacks. This is all we pray for to Allah."
Confused and hurting, she finds it difficult to mention all of them by their names.
"They destroyed our family. It was around 5 a.m., we were praying the morning prayer, and then 10 shells, maybe 12 and the world was destroyed," she said.
Nineteen Palestinian citizens were killed in the grave incident , most of them members of the Atamna family. Maali refuses to accept the Israeli declaration about a mistake or a malfunction.
"One shell can be errant, two can be errant, but 20 shells cannot be errant. It was directed fire. They killed the children and the women, but filled all of us, especially all the children, with hate.
"What can we feel, if not hatred, when we see bodies, body parts, chopped children without heads? God willing we shall live to witness the great revenge," she said.
Samira, who is also part of a family that lost all of its aunts and uncles, told of another relative who was saved from the first shootings and called his mother for help: "She held out a hand to him and then another shell killed them both. The shell fell on them in the middle of the bed room."
Another casualty, she recounted, managed to tell her before he was killed that he had seen five of his brothers killed before his eyes.
Knesset Member Mohammad Barakeh (Hadash) visited the mourning Atamna family to offer his condolences. "The blood that was shed belongs to all of us. We are all on nation. We won't forgive this massacre. You are the heroes of the Palestinian nation. You must stand strong," he said to those who survived.
Barakeh called "to unite against the occupation, the mother and father of the violence, the root of evil."
'Peretz wants to prove he is a big criminal'
The funeral procession was held Thursday afternoon. Hundreds of gunmen from all the organizations joined the procession, waving signs with slogans written on them.
Alongside calls for revenge, suicide attacks, and more and more rockets fired at Israel, calls praising this organization or the other were heard. The tension between Hamas and Fatah was difficult to hide even during a time of mourning.
The funeral procession revealed not only great outrage amongst the residents of Beit Hanoun, but also the immense damage Operation Autumn Clouds left in its wake. A tour of the town shows that not one car or house was left undamaged.
However, the residents say they will not be broken.
"Amir Peretz wants us to leave so that Sderot residents will be safe. But, in essence, this isn't connected to Sderot. It is connected to his desire to prove that he is a big criminal, no less than Sharon, Barak, and Mofaz."
And how does she know this is what happened if they were both killed and she wasn't there?
Also, no one has yet explained, if the bomb hit the bedroom why there is so much "blood" in the street

Outtake: the one at top left isn't paying attention.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Continue to pray for death and destruction. You're bound to get it, just not in the fashion for which you hope.
Good actors for the cameras. This was an interesting statement: "One shell can be errant, two can be errant, but 20 shells cannot be errant. It was directed fire. They killed the children and the women, but filled all of us, especially all the children, with hate." How can you "fill" a cup with hate when it is already filled to the brim?
Perfect time to set up YET ANOTHER staged media event.
no mention of the rocket attacks in Israel that started this exchange...
The IDF should be targeting the funerals as well.
No mention of the kidnapping of Shalit, who is probably already dead. No mention of the wanton destruction of the property of expelled Jews, presented as gifts so that the Palestinians could "build an economy."
And "just" blood... where's all the "hamburger" that should be accompanying it?
Supercritical compression? At what point does the hate cease to be a liquid and become a solid?
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]

Toxic Jihadosis..
And no mention of the daily shelling targeting Israeli civilians coming from that town on occasion. No mention that the Israeli's fire only at spots that are used to attack from. No mention that the most obvious scenario is while she was off somewhere, her kids were hanging out with the local's firing mortars at Israel.
In fact, what is not mentioned is a far greater story than what is mentioned. This is the way of the Millitant Press these days.
I'm positive this was another "Pallywood" production. Hamas was being pressured to provide "proof of life" of Shalit, join a "Unity" government and give some control to Abbas. The U.S. was preoccupied with the elections and Israel was preoccupied with the Gays. Perfect time to stage another bogus "massacre."
I have no doubt that this will join the long list of other staged media events, along with Al-Dura, Jenin, Gaza Beach Blast, Green Helmet Guy, Ambulance hoax, olive trees, etc. etc. etc.
Human shields and the willful hazarding of innocents are the basis of all terrorist and leftist media strategy worldwide.
Propaganda like what we have seen since this incident is an attempt to reverse the age-old principle that those who hide behind innocents are responsible if those innocents come to harm.
Leftists don't give a rat's a** about innocents being killed, their wailing and moaning is cynical calculated manipulation. How many times have you heard some smug leftist pig declare that "this is revolution and innocent people get hurt in a revolution" when their side commits one its barbaric and quite deliberate murders of innocent people?
Don't be fooled by the media left's depraved pretense of morality. They are all liars and killers.
