One could rewrite that headline.

What if it read, 'Egyptian Arab Muslims shoot Gazan Arab Muslims'?

(It's a safe bet that the so-called 'Palestinians' trying to flee from Gaza, are Muslims - there are only 3000 Arabised Christians left in Gaza).

In fact, let's amuse ourselves rewording the whole article so that it reflects the unpleasant religio-political reality more closely.

'Egyptian Arab Muslim border guards have opened fire on Arab Muslims from Gaza who breached the border to escape Israel's assault on the Hamas jihad bosses in the Gaza Strip.

'An Egyptian Arab Muslim security official said there were at least five breaches along the nine-mile border and hundreds of Gazan Arab Muslim residents were pouring in.

'At least 300 Egyptian Arab Muslim border guards have been rushed to the area to reseal the border, the official added on condition on anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press.

'A resident of the Gaza Strip side of the border, Fida Kishta, said that Egyptian Arab Muslim border guards opened fire to drive back the Gazan Muslims.

'Residents have also commandeered a bulldozer to open new breaches.

'Gazan Arab Muslims reported several people were wounded by the gunfire....".

HERE ENDS THE REWRITE.

If one includes the substantives - 'Muslim' and 'Arab' for both groups, one sees that Arab Muslims from Egypt are quite happy to fire upon, and kill, their 'brother' Arab Muslims from Gaza - many of whom, if one took a good look at their pedigrees, probably came to Gaza from Egypt in the first place, one or two or three generations ago.

Well, well, well there is the love from the UMMAH ha... what a joke. The Muslim world is sick. They screw non Muslims and they even mess up their own. The latter is good because at least that keeps them off the non Muslims. I would like to see more of the latter.

War is brutal. War is inhumane so those who survive win and maintain their way of life. That is the reality of war and conflict. It brings out the worse and the best in humans.

Israel keep pounding...let the world see that any nation who values human freedom will do to maintain and protect that way of life from those who wish to cause great harm and murder and torture its citizens.

"Yet when the Egyptian border guards opened fire on these Palestinians, they could be secure in the knowledge that the world would not utter a peep of protest."

The same goes for jihadists in Darfur. You don't hear the world, particularly the Muslim world, complaining about this disproportionate-ness, which involves the deliberate mass murdering slaughter of innocents. They just save it for vilifying the one and only, Israel, when Israel goes after terrorists!

Much of the world is insane unfortunately.

Seems that even their Egyptian brothers don't want the Palestinians, those pathetic refugees with no country. Where's the islamic love? Where's the compassion? What's up with Egypt denying refuge to the beloved ummah? They are treated like a deadly scourge (which they are) by other islamic countries, which shoot Palestinians to keep them out while chiming in with the international chorus of Israel condemners. That's bound to help those terrified, uprooted refugees who are running for their lives from the war zone inflicted on them by the government they elected, supported, and encouraged to wipe Israel off the map.

I guess it never occurred to them that Israel would eventually retaliate or that Israel's capabilities far exceed theirs. Nope, they've been told that they will destroy Israel because they are superior and allah wills it and no matter what happens, they will always believe that. Once again, the "international community" expects Israel to commit suicide. The whole world has gone stark, raving mad. Give 'em hell Israel.

Why all this wailing and complaining from the world's Moslems? The Israeli attack, like everything else that happens in this world, happened only because it was Allah's will. If Allah had willed that Israel not attack, then Israel would have not attacked. One cannot question Allah's will, one can only "submit". So stop whining.
Strangely, Allah's will seems to favor the Israelis a lot: whenever they've been in a real shooting conflict with Moslems, it's been the Moslems who came off the worse. It almost looks like the Israelis are Allah's real "chosen people".
They say that actions speak louder than words. Well, Allah's actions appear to favor the Israelis. So what about his words, as found in the Koran? They seem to condemn the Israelis, and thus to be in conflict with his actions. But what if the words in the Koran are not Allah's at all, but only those of a mad murderer-pirate-rapist call Mohammed. So, Moslems, what are you going to believe in: the actions of Allah, or the words of Mohammed?

Oh Well they will surely say that it was the work of zionist monsters dressed as egyptian border guards.

Posted by: rammer at December 28, 2008 11:37 PM

I hope everyone remembers the simple fact that the Gazans elected Hamas in a democratic election. Hamas ran on the idea that Israel should be destroyed, and that the future would be continued conflict if Hamas was elected. Seems the Gazans have learned the first rule of democracy. You always get the government you deserve. Welcome to the reality of what Hamas was selling.

For those with satellite/cable, if you get LinkTV, they have a Mon-Fri show called "Mosaic" which shows about 8-10 2-4 minute clips of middle east TV news, including Israeli TV. It will be interesting to see how the Islamic media (Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Iran etc) treat this Gaza thing. I mean, we already know the answer, but it's still amazing to watch first hand. Check it out and DVR it if it's out of hours for you.

Posted by: BunrattyBill at December 29, 2008 12:20 AM

I read another report that had the border guards firing in the air.

But if that's the case, how did some 'Palestinians' get injured by gunfire?

Posted by: duh_swami at December 29, 2008 12:22 AM

Major lack of education here. Would someone indulge? Why will no arab border state take/support the "palestinian refugees"? Why does Egypt block their border? are they like "crips" don't want "bloods" in the hood?

Any link or personal observation to steer me would be greatly appreciated.

In The West we have willingly entered a dark age spiritually and what we are now witnessing is the inevitable product of our free choice. We have thrown down Jehovah's altars and blasphemed his name, so what are we to expect? Can you show me a first rate movie that doesn't have his name blasphemed on tape for posterity? ....Without a spiritual foundation we stand hopeless before the onslaught of islam. We embrace abominable sin and keep God Almighty at arms length. In the past nations like England sent missionaries worldwide on faith. Now with Biblical prophecies being revealed before our eyes; we party! This being one of the most truthful and enlightened sites anywhere; yet my comments will be condemned...... The true reality is spiritual, the physical will inevitably follow.

Allah has great plans for you in heaven, he is calling you to come to him in hordes. How can this be happening if allah did not want ????

As for egiptians firing on their Ummah, these brothers once they come into egypt will start to kill their brothers who let them in. It is the very quality of Islamic ummah, dont trust any moslem. It should not be forgotten that the palestinians formed Black September group during 1970's wanted to overthrow the King Hussein of Jordan who has given refuge to them in his lands.

They will shower all their love on the people who have invited them into their lands by killing them when they get their chance.

Posted by: greaticon at December 29, 2008 3:14 AM

The Islamic ummah want the "Palestinians" exactly where they are: as the front-line foot soldiers of Islam in Islam's jihad against Israel.

How it must irk the muslims to have such a thriving and creative nation such as Israel in their midst and to be so powerless against it.
Lol
Israel is a thorn in the side of Islam and I reckon God has a sense of humour.

The "Palestinians" remind me of the chained slave infantry often used in ancient warfare.
The Arabs are using the "Palestinians" and deserters will be shot!
Heck, the "Palestians" are shown greater humanity and kindness by the Israelis than by any of the surrounding Arab countries; look at how many stories we see here at Jihad Watch about "Palestinians" being treated in Israel's hospitals.

End the occupation of Israel: Arabs out.

Posted by: Mike_W at December 29, 2008 3:19 AM

l can see how muslims arabs feel the love of their fellow brothers in gaza, with the bullet. wonder if arab street will protest this and what the egyptians guards did be aired on the msms, bbc etc?

Posted by: ZenaWarriorPrincess at December 29, 2008 4:11 AM

I don't understand what this fuzz is all about. These terrorists love to die and Israel is granting them their wish while putting them out of their miseries. It is a win-win situation for both, the Israelis will be able to get rid of some Muslim terrorists and these Muslims terrorists will get to meet the 72 Muslim virgins they have been waiting to meet all their lives. So why are the Muslims so angry? Do they know the truth that there no virgins waiting for any of them? They must because they are acting like they know the truth.

Have they been lying to us about their love for death?

So now it seems like the Muslims Terrorists are both liars and cowards.

No, it is just a sign that Muslims are not being Islamic enough.

CJK, have hope, the global south is where Christanity is growing, and growing bigtime. The new Christian missonaries are going to come from Africa, Asia, and Latin America to bring the faith of Christ back to the west.

Derak- Despite their b.s., other Arab states are sane enough to see the "Palestinians" for what they are: Gypsies with guns. Absolute pond scum. When Egypt opened the border briefly a few months ago to relieve the Israeli embargo, they streamed over and spread counterfeit money to buy necessities, like TVs and motorbikes, then they scrambled back across the border.

But as long as they're a pain to Israel, Arab states will support them one way or another. Israel must forcibly remove them or this thing is never ending.

Posted by: Bingo at December 29, 2008 6:54 AM

Funnily enough Palestinains are not universally loved by their Arab brothers. In fact they are despised by the Lebanese, Jordanians, Kuwatis and shia Iraqis. Why? Because Palestinian leaders have an inordinate knack to make the most catastrophic choices at every turn. They turned half of what is Israel today in 1947 including all of Jerusalem. They sided with Saddam against Kuwait in 1991 although Kuwait welcomed them as refugees and fed them and housed them for 50 years. They tried to takeover Jordan in 1970 forcing King Hussein to send his Bedou-manned Tanks to their camps and almost annihilate them. They tried to takeover Lebanon too thus alienating the local Lebanese of all sects. They even tried to annihilate the maronites and were stopped by Syria(yes you heard that right, Syria saved Lebanon's Christians from Palestinian refugees) at Tel za'atar killing thousands of them.

No wonder they are know to Arabs as `fils Disi' - which is a play on the Arabic name for Palestinian (fils dini). It is too rude to translate.

Posted by: Gorgi at December 29, 2008 1:00 PM

Forgi:

The popular term is Filistizi (فلسطيزي) with adds the suffix tizi (the vernacular term "my buttocks"). A considerable percentage of the Arabs hate them and call them "Yahud el-'Arab" or Jewish Arabs to signify that the Palestinians have the same stereotypical characteristics of the Jews as narrated by the Islamic sources such as materialism, deceit, et cetera.

If any Muslim ruler was killing them on-mass, the Muslim public would be silent.

Posted by: have_mercy at December 29, 2008 6:03 PM

Of course the Egyptions fired on the" poor beleagured" Gazan refugees, lest they get into Egypt and cause trouble for the residents by getting THEM bombed.

Posted by: Pazuzu at December 29, 2008 6:34 PM

Maybe they were simply on their way to the Sudan, which has INVITED them to come and populate the country, which for some reason (yes, I know, not funny) has seen a lowering of population in recent years. I somehow doubt that the ordinary Sudanese will be overjoyed about this immigration policy update; they have enough trouble already, and as they rather dislike Egyptians, will see the "Palestinians" as equally, if not more, rough. The "Palestinians" may find themselves shunned.

Posted by: PG at December 29, 2008 7:59 PM

Derak, no arab border state will take the world's only professional and perpetual "refugees" (sixty years and counting) because they are the most savage and corrupt human scum on the planet. They have been given refuge by several neighboring countries in the past and expressed their gratitude by trying to overthrow governments and start civil wars. They are a scourge on humanity but they are very useful to the islamic agenda as long as they remain in the Palestinian territories and kill Jews, bomb Israel, and keep the Middle East in constant turmoil and on the brink of full scale war. Their left-wing, self-hating, dhimmi benefactors in the corrupt and stinking U.N. have never heard an arab lie they didn't believe and support these barbarians in every conflict that they initiate against Israel. It's insane and unbelievable but true.

The islamic goal is to drive the Jews into the sea and seize Israel, which they claim as islamic territory. Muslims do not recognize Israel's right to exist and abhor the reality of Israel's modern, innovative, prosperous, democratic and pluralistic society, surrounded by islamic desolation on all sides. They will never stop their attacks on Israel whether a Palestinian state is established or not.

The U.N. has been supporting these quasi-human creatures for generations; the world sustains them while they breed, build bombs, and kill Jews. They are the lowest form of humanity, utter savages.
