Mardawi spoke enthusiastically about Israel's decision to send in infantry: "It was like hunting ... like being given a prize."

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- A senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad who surrendered to Israeli forces in Jenin described the battle as "a very hard fight" in which both sides took on casualties, but he said he didn't see "tens of people" killed by the Israeli army.

He didn't say there was no massacre in Jenin

Of course there was a massacre, 3oh7. We believe you. Your whole world would crumble if there wasn't.

[sleavelessinseattle]

Ping! Can't believe CNN let this slip through the Spin catchers.

-WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT JENIN--

i humbly submit that you're wasting your time with ThreeofSeven.

check the links above and below.
sounds like a salaried individual.

eg, from the 'wisdom' of 3/7:

If you want an analogy to WWII then the Israeli occupation is to Palestinians as the German occupation was to Poles.

bon apetit !

Israel Defense Forces spokesmen have said that the decision to use infantry to spearhead the attack – rather than using air power and artillery – stemmed from a desire to limit civilian casualties, even at the risk of higher IDF casualties.

This was a stupid military tactic! Sharon should do as we did in Afghanistan. Declare a war on terrorists and proclaim that you are either with us or against us. Then go out and bomb the hell out of any resistance we encounter. Human lives are too dear to sacrifice to the Crazy Mo followers. Israel should do as we do, not as we say!

i'm quite sure we ALL remember those darling little 10yo polish bomb-belt kamikaze ??

[ThreeOfSeven]

Bulldozing houses does not a massacre make

That depends on whether bodies are found in the rubble of the bulldozed houses.

[kapn kuek]

it'll likely get spun, as others have already mentioned, that this little weasel was a sellout, or tortured, or an IDF plant all along, or traumatized by his daddy, yada, yada, yada ...

They will do a Linda Tripp on him.

Yeah, CNN is putting this story here, but don't hold your breath while waiting to see this on tv.

No wonder, this Palestinian was amazed to see the IDF forces advancing on foot; it never occurs to those Palestinian murderers to attempt to limit the killing of noncombatants. Prayers for the brave Israeli soldiers.

BTW, if the Pali quoted here is released, I wonder how long it will be before he is hung upside down in the street and eviscerted like some of his former brothers in arms.

[d4now]

I don't get it.

Unfortunately, you do. Crying damn shame is what it is.

It does seem, thought, that part of the world is beginning to wake-up from the hypnotic haze.

This is one reason I tend not to believe the massacre stories. (The other reason is that the Palestinians have lied too often and too easily in the past.)

[kezekiel]

What a pathetic, horrible world we live in, where the UN needs to send a 'team to investigate the massacre' over something like this, while thousands are actually massacred for real around the world, while no one gives a damn.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Muslim fanatics are massacreing Christians all around the world, and are absolutely salivating at the prospect of massacreing as many Jews as possible.

My Christian tongue will hold back what I *really* want to say about the UN and its pathetic silence in the face of real atrocity. The most we can get is a "tsk-tsk, this is too bad" about the killing of Christians and Jews, while they scream in horror at the sight of armed Jews defending themselves. What an absolute, unmitigated disgrace the UN has become.

[hope]

"I wonder if the "freepers" who spent so much time "documenting" the "atrocities" by Israel will take issue with Mardawi"?

Highly doubtful...it would disrupt their own personal agenda.

Now tell that to the left wing anti-American peacenicks. That should really ruin their day. All that protesting done in vain. *sigh*

[knews_hound]

I agree with your assesment, I have seen the "person" on and off for awhile, seems to be a one note singer.

knews hound

pali shill ID bump ...

LOL

[Brytani]

I've found, those who absolutely hate the thought of Israel having the right to exist, or basically hate Jews, or love terrorists, whatever reason they have for believing every bit of propoganda that comes out of the middle east are worthless when it comes to debate.

Personally, I think Israel has been wrong in some of her actions, yet the anti-Israel bias in the UN, with human rights groups, supporters of Muslim states, Europe, etc etc is so clear I tend to believe what Israel says first, before anyone else. Just nice to have confirmation when I'm right in my beliefs.

"It was like hunting ... like being given a prize. I couldn't believe it when I saw the soldiers," he said. "The Israelis knew that any soldier who went into the camp like that was going to get killed."

Of course, the Israelis mostly were not killed, and besides that they succeeded in taking out the Palestinians in an allegedly "impossible" manner. The PA has no doubt taken note, Mr. "I'm not dead, just in an Israeli prison" Mardawi's bravado notwithstanding.

[Lazamataz]

The UN is virulently anti-semitic and anti-Israeli, as is nearly every leftist I have ever met.
