NBC Tel Aviv bureau chief Martin Fletcher has gone so thoroughly native in the West Bank that he’s turning in pieces like this one—showing the “human side” of a family of brutal terrorist murderers: One man’s terrorist, another’s freedom fighter.


NABLUS, West Bank – It is hard for me to describe Ahmed Sanakreh as a terrorist, although I know it’s true. Hard, because I got to know him and his family quite well, and when you understand people, it’s hard to hate them: Twenty-year-old Ahmed, baby-faced with black hair sticking up in gelled spikes, and a passion for his Nokia 90 cell phone; and his elder brother, Alaa, the intense, hollow-cheeked leader of the Palestinian al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus. They are the hard core of the hard core.

I wonder if this asshat has ever spoken with Paul Douglas?

None of your links lead back to LGF.

I wonder how he would have felt about a Nazi family listening to classical music. What a schmuck!

To the terrorist enablers in the MSM:

We do not want to learn to empathize with terrorists. We do not want to humanize them. We want to KILL them. Quickly. All of them, or as many as we can get at.

[grey_whiskers]

Grrr, sorry. Try here.

Then scroll down.

Cheers!

Yes, perhaps if he had been hit by an IED himself, he would stop writing warm fuzzy puff pieces about them, and stop viewing US and Israeli forces as monsters.

It'd be interesting to see if his bias or feeling for fellow MSM journalists won out.

Cheers!

Libs have extreme difficulty in identifying enemies.

One way ticket, paying cash, no luggage, welcome to Logan Airport Mr Atta.
Kahlua at the bar to you too.

2.5 million reward paid for the capture of these terrorists!

Thanks so much!

That link worked...looks like it’s time for NBC to reassign Marty out of the Middle East and let him be bureau chief to a vacation spot like Bulgaria...

Sounds like he’s another product of some leftist journalism education and he ate up the bs they fed him...’aww, the poor deprived bums,’..... they really are NOT human...

Like Dan Snore and Marvin Cab at the height of the Cold War telling us the Ruskies are really nice people so why are we picking on them ?.....idiots all...

Oh, to be such an enlightened liberal. To be above and beyond the primitave emotion of anger, like all the great unwashed masses. To have hardly a trace of common sense.

These terrorists are the scum of the earth and need to be exterminated, not understood.
