"We had made more than 50 booby-trapped around the camp. We chose old and empty buildings, and the houses of men who were wanted by Israel, because we knew the soldiers would search for them. We cut off lengths of main water pipes and packed them with explosives and nails. Then we placed them about four meters apart throughout the houses in cupboards, under sinks, in sofas."

BTTT and thankyou Alan Keyes! He's a straight talker, and I admire that.

[Catspaw]

In one of Rahman's rants, he said that 800 were killed in the "Jenin massacre." I keep wondering where they hid the 750 or so missing bodies.

[Stultis]

Rahman: [responding to a verbatim quote, in the ARAB press, from a PALESTINIAN bomb maker and fighter, who was actually IN Jenin] That's Israel's propaganda.

I about fell out of my seat. Keyes didn't even catch, or at least comment on, the absurdity of this, but then it was hardly surprising comming from Rahman. Like most Pali spokesman he just puts his mouth in auto, spewing the standard over-the-top claims, charges and shocking moral inversions, which bear little or no correspondence to the questions asked.
