this Eid, israel 'feasts' on Palestinian flesh

Seven Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in a raid on the Gaza Strip on Monday during festivities marking the end of Ramadan, in an operation president Mahmud Abbas slammed as a "massacre."

The seven, including a local militant leader, were killed during an Israeli incursion in the north of the territory as Palestinians celebrated the first day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Another 25 people were wounded, three of them seriously, as a result of tank fire in Beit Lahiya, Palestinian security and medical officials said.

Witnesses said Israeli forces opened fire and killed Atta al-Shimbari, a local chief of the Popular Resistance Committees, a militant group that claimed joint responsibility for a cross-border raid on June 25 in which two Israeli soldiers were killed and one seized.

The Israelis opened fire as Shimbari was at his family's house for Eid. Two of his brothers, a cousin, a nephew and a neighbour were also killed.

Five paragraphs - it takes them - to mention who else they massacred besides the so-called 'terrorist' target. And when they do - no names, no ages, no mention of who their victims left behind to mourn them - just vague descriptions of a few more Palestinians slaughtered during the usual course of business.

And then they wonder why people all around the world pray for israel to disappear from where it came.
