The Arab woman, whose face dominates the image, surrounded by Arab children, was demanding that the Israelis release her son, detained for the shooting. Another AFP photo in the Times prominently featured an old Arab woman with four children in the ruins of a home near Gaza. Hunting diligently showed that the house was a base from which terrorists shot at Israeli civilians. Here are excerpts from the Hamas weekly paper published in Gaza near where those photos were taken. The facts, a mob of several hundred Arabs stoning and throwing molotov cocktails at police guarding a Jewish neighborhood.
Arab rioters are the focus for sympathy.
There is a moral equivalence between the rioters and the police that must guard Jewish neighborhoods to prevent a daily holocaust. The actual event was a car bombing by Arabs that murdered seven and wounded 44 Jews. Allah and Mohammed must have been satisfied that day. The youth actually was an American Jew from Chicago on his way to Rosh HaShana prayers in Jerusalem. Arabs had dragged him from a cab, stabbed, beaten and pursued him.
