Israelis Snatch Palestinian Gunmen From Hospital Beds
Israeli Troops Snatch Palestinian Gunmen From Hospital Beds in Early Dawn Raid
By Mohammed Daraghmeh Associated Press Writer
Published: Aug 26, 2003


NABLUS, West Bank (AP) - Israeli undercover troops snatched two wounded Palestinian gunmen from their West Bank hospital beds in a pre-dawn raid Tuesday, the latest Israeli military operation in the wake of a deadly bus bombing a week ago.
The troops knocked on the door of the intensive care unit, imposed a curfew on the patients and doctors and carried the two men - members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a militant group loosely affiliated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction - out of the ward and into military ambulances, a doctor, who spoke on condition on anonymity, said.

4. Myopia: Yes!
And Yes to revenge? Yes to endless war? Yes to more hate? Yes to suicide reprisals? :thumbsdown:

Hmmmmmmmmm. :think:

Seizing people from intensive care units is probably not going to build goodwill.

2. More precedent setting.
Cheer all you want, but the effects will be felt 10, 20, 30 years from now...

3. This is how the Israelis should respond, and it should be applauded
They are not attacking the family of the gunmen, nor are they tearing down homes. They are arresting them without killing anyone, and Israel doesn't have the death penalty. This is progress!

7. No death penalty?
Uhm, guess they don't need it since they just skip all the arrest and trial piffle and assasinate them.

11. This is in addition to their pre-emptive assassination campaign

this is not INSTEAD OF. IOF has already killed Hamas leaders families in the process of killing the leader. YES by all means lets APPLAUD them!

10. Blowback?

Not really that effectual toward any end but more Israel Aggression unless they have something else up their sleeve instead of suicide bombers. Blowback rolls right off the back of Sharon and lands like a missile from a helicopter right back into to the OT's.

15. Blowback in what form?
Are they going to blow up more kids or throw more wheelchair bound people from cruise ships? My guess is that the IDF is one more terror bombing away from getting serious about the elimination of the nest of terrorists in their backyard.

8. I use to be on the side of Israel as a far right wing Christian whatever
I'm so disgusted by all of this and their actions! I'm ashamed I ever thought they could never do any wrong and that THEY alone in this world were THE CHOSEN ONES!

I'm sickened and this isn't a way to start your day :(

13. Why?
IDF officers are not targeting kids on busses and any Israeli citizen that breaks the law is arrested. When these hamas and other terrorists kill people the PA turns a blind eye.

I don't see what the big deal here is...the IDF arrested some terrorists without killing innocents or the terrorists. Sounds like a clean "bust" to me.

14. They aren't in Israel..
Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 11:36 AM by StandWatie
They have no business "arresting" anyone and they don't even specify what "terrorism" they committed. The phrase "gunman" is used for a variety of different reasons, if all they were shooting at was the IDF they have a right under international law to shoot at them but they don't even say that, they say they are "members of Al-Aqsa" which could very well be just guilt by association.

It will be interesting to see how many people they "liquidate" for these same bombings since they have already killed Hamas members for "planning" the same incident.

30. It's another humanitarian act by the Israelis!
Israelis have hospitals with medical supplies. That's why they did it. It's another step on the "Road Map".

18. maybe the gloves should go back on...
Bystander killed in failed IAF assassination attempt in Gaza

Hmmm...stealthy? Maybe in a sneaky ambush kinda way. Speed? Those missles sure are fast. Skilled? Survey says...*buzzer*. Silent? *pre-emptive buzzer*

Happy Intifada

22. get a grip...I don't froth...
and I manage to think up my own material. It's called *original thought*, try it, you might like it.

BTW, nothing about the tit-for-tat "outrages" me anymore. I have only one response, divest and disengage.

25. Indeed!
No more Mr Nice guy!
Slow to anger, but terrible in our righteous wrath, once aroused.

Hmmmm, perhaps "aroused" is not the best word there.

that "aroused" is closer to the truth than we imagine.
