IDF soldiers killed by 10 yr. old boy

Hugh Hewitt - clip from Fox News | 4-08-02 | JH147

[JH147]

Hugh Hewitt just played a clip of Netanyahu saying that the IDF soldiers were killed by a 10-yr. old suicide bomber. Clip was from Fox News - this is unbelievable and I couldn't find a post of it anywhere.

I don't give a fig whether I have or haven't an uncle Jake or Herbie. Israel is the west and must be protected. There are other issues of American Jews who have been hostile to and successful in undermining Christian belief; that's a side issue. Right now, Christians are obliged to protect Israel. It's biblical. V's wife.

... It was an ambush...

A 10 year-old kid with a bomb-belt that was detonated by remote control in an alley pre-packed with hidden explosives sounds like an ambush to me, eh ????

[Roger_W_Isom]

That I can believe as WELL

[miamimark]

Was watching the general out of the corner of my eye, so I can't give you all the details. I saw Bibi when he made the 10 year old comment and it looked to me like he was lying on Chris Matthews show. I think Matthews smelled the lie too and cut him off like a cheap suit. That;s the only reason I made the comment. Does it really matter how the soldiers died? I feel sorry for their families. All of them.

Here's the general's statement from CNN.

"Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey said the soldiers were from two separate forces operating in the area. One of the forces was hit by boobytrap explosives and a suicide bomber".

FNC is moving ever leftward. Brit appears to be going with the flow. Rather a shame,but then Ailes has a goal that has nothing to do with principle. He wants to beat CNN by outlefting them and he is succeeding.

Time for Israel to come out and announce that if they don't get arab leadership to fully espouse oslo and assert publicly the right of Israel to exist, and reject the "right of return" at the same time... all previous agreements are hereby rescinded... and callup 350,000 reservists.

Turn Arafat loose in the lion's cage at the nearest Israeli Zoo or animal reserve. End of story.

WAKE UP CALL.... NEVER AGAIN.

[monkeywrench]

Bibi has too much to lose by misstating something this important. palis think nothing of lying, especially with world media presstitutes covering their a@#es.

[Robert_Paulson2]

Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey said the soldiers were from two separate forces operating in the area. One of the forces was hit by boobytrap explosives and a suicide bomber".

There ya go mark... your ten year old kid was in fact a suicide bomber... I see NO MENTION of ambush here.

[Robert_Paulson2]

Netanyehu NEVER would tell a lie knowingly.

It's not MY bloodlust... I have NONE. It's just YOU screaming it whenever palistinians get caught doing something beyond humanity.

[xm177e2]

Boobytraps and a suicide bomber constitute an ambush, don't they?

[monday]

"If they could figure out a way, I'll bet they would use unborn children as suicide bombers. "

That would be pregnant women. Might be next, who knows?

[MeekOneGOP]

You mentioned this on an earlier thread. Do you have a source?

I thought I heard something about this on FOX too. So it's not confirmed, then?.........

Mark Steyn Link Excerpt:

Before I'm accused of being more upset about dead Jewish than dead Muslim kids, let me say that I take people at their own estimation: in the Palestinian Authority schools, they teach their children about the glories of martyrdom; indeed, the careers guidance counsellor appears to have little information on alternative employment prospects; at social events, the moppets are dressed up as junior jihadi, with toy detonators and play bombs.

So there probably was a suicide bomber involved, but his age has not been established.

WRAPUP 1 - Palestinians ambush Israeli soldiers, killing 13

    By Wael al-Ahmad 
    JENIN, West Bank, April 10 (Reuters) - Palestinians ambushed 
an Israeli military patrol in a West Bank refugee camp, killing 
13 soldiers and dealing the army a blow that could undermine 
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's peace mission. 
    Defying U.S. demands that Israel end its fierce, 12-day-old 
offensive across the West Bank without delay, Prime Minister 
Ariel Sharon vowed to press ahead with a campaign in which the 
army said it has killed at least 200 Palestinians. 
    Tuesday's attack in the Jenin camp -- the deadliest strike 
against Israeli troops in 18 months of conflict -- unfolded with 
split-second precision as a booby trap exploded, a suicide 
bomber blew himself up and gunmen opened fire from rooftops. 
    Israel disclosed the deaths just hours after withdrawing its 
troops from two Palestinian-ruled cities in response to U.S. 
pressure, but it gave no indication of when it would pull out of 
other cities, towns and villages it has occupied since March 29. 
    The Palestinian death toll from fierce battles in the narrow 
alleyways of the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank 
was expected to be high. 
    Witnesses said many corpses lay unretrieved in the streets 
after days of fighting and Israeli bombardment. Palestinian 
officials have estimated more than 100 people killed. 
    In the West Bank's largest city Nablus, six Palestinians -- 
one policeman and five civilians -- died in fighting on Tuesday, 
Palestinian medics said. The army said a soldier was also 
killed. 
    The army shelled a soap factory in the historic casbah of 
Nablus in what a spokesman said was an effort to shut down a 
Palestinian bomb-making operation. He said soldiers entering the 
plant later found "tens of bombs ready to use". 
    U.S. President George W. Bush responded to the withdrawal 
from Tulkarm and Qalqilya by demanding Israeli troops leave all 
other West Bank cities they have invaded since a suicide bomber 
killed 27 people at an Israeli hotel on March 27. 
    "The president believes all parties still have 
responsibilities, (he is) still looking for results," a White 
House spokesman said, adding Israel should withdraw from 
Palestinian areas and "do so now". 
    Powell, in Egypt ahead of a visit to Israel later this week, 
said Sharon had told him by telephone he wanted to end the West 
Bank sweep for Palestinian militants as soon as possible. 
    But Israel launched a fresh incursion overnight in Dura near 
the city of Hebron and Palestinian sources said about 70 people 
had been detained. Witnesses said troops had also entered the 
village of Kafr Ra'i near Jenin and shelled a police station. 
     
    BOOBY-TRAPPED BUILDING 
    Brigadier-General Ron Kitrey said a group of soldiers was 
walking in a narrow alley in the Jenin camp when they were 
ambushed early on Tuesday. 
    At least six or seven were killed when a booby-trap device 
exploded and a suicide bomber detonated his load at the same 
time, he said. Gunmen on rooftops then opened fire on a second 
unit nearby, killing more troops. 
    There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the 
attack. The camp is a stronghold of militant groups responsible 
for suicide attacks that have killed scores of Israelis since an 
uprising against occupation erupted in September 2000. 
    Major General Yitzhak Eitan, head of Israel's central 
command, said: "We will continue to fight as long as necessary 
despite the loss. We will continue until we make this camp 
submit." 
    Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo said the 
army was attacking the camp with helicopters and knocking down 
buildings with bulldozers to "finish this camp by tonight". 
    The deaths of so many soldiers on one day was a shock to 
Israelis already in a sombre mood for Holocaust Remembrance Day, 
honouring the six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany. 
     
    'VERY TOUGH BATTLE' 
    "There was a very tough battle against the terrorist 
organisations," Sharon said in remarks broadcast on Israeli 
Channel One television. "It is a battle we will continue to 
pursue according to the government's decision, until 
we...dismantle the terrorist infrastructure." 
    The Jenin refugee camp has been the site of the fiercest 
fighting in the Israeli offensive, which the government says is 
rooting out suicide bombers. 
    Powell said he hoped the withdrawal from Qalqilya and 
Tulkarm was the start of a wider disengagement. 
    "Let us hope that this is not a little bit of this and a 
little bit of that, but the beginning of a pullback," he said. 
    Oil prices, which soared on Monday after Iraq announced a 
one-month halt to oil supplies to protest at Israel's offensive, 
fell on Tuesday on news of the partial withdrawal. 
    But the Palestinians dismissed the limited pullout as a 
"lie" and a "manoeuvre". 
    Powell said all parties had to try to return to the 
negotiating table for the ultimate goal of creating a state 
called Palestine which would live in peace with Israel. 
    He made clear he planned to meet Palestinian President 
Yasser Arafat, who is penned up in the city of Ramallah by 
Israeli forces. 
    Powell arrived in Spain late on Tuesday for talks with 
European Union, Russian and U.N. officials on the Middle East. 
    At least 1,247 Palestinians and 436 Israelis have been 
killed since the Palestinian uprising began when talks on a 
final peace settlement stalled.

WRAPUP 1-Palestinians ambush Israeli soldiers, killing 13

[Roger_W_Isom]

Lets see how you like THIS at one time My family had an H between the S and O in ISOM...........

[Robert_Paulson2]

"Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey said the soldiers were from two separate forces operating in the area. One of the forces was hit by boobytrap explosives and a suicide bomber".

The shoe drops... it's out of the bag buddie... it was a suicide bomber... NOT an ambush... NOW we will wait for the age... netanyehu reportedly said ten years of age... what do you think.. closer to eight, thirteen, or exactly ten?

[miamimark]

No the general was giving a press conference (translated into English by CNN) I doubt he was watching Bibi on Fox in Israel. Prior to the General's piece, CNN had a Pali from the scene via celphone that described what happened. They did this to show that without the media reporting from the scene, both sides have their own spin.

[xm177e2]

I suspose, it could have been remote controlled with the little boy serving as a "human robot".

If I was a terrorist, I wouldn't trust a ten-year-old to push the button at the right time, that would be too likely to fail.

[monkeywrench]

Yes, it matters. It shows the perverse, decadent thinking of these killers. Someone needs to deal with them!! Israel should, with backing of every right thinking individual, as it challenges the meaning of civilization. How can the world tolerate such as this?

[mystery-ak]

Bibi is on H&C right now!
