Israeli-Arab Fifth Column Watch – Convergence! Murderous Jerusalem Terrorist Group Is Made Up Of Israeli-Arabs Loyal To Abbas

They’re Israeli-Arab citizens and they’re from the party of the oh-so-moderate President Abbas. Say, you don’t think this story’s going to get any play on the right-of-center JBlogosphere do you?

The Galilee Liberation Group, an Israeli-Arab terror organization, took responsibility on Monday for Friday’s shooting attack in Jerusalem’s Old City, claiming it was meant to avenge the 2004 death of the group’s leader. In a statement sent to the Maan news agency, the organization declared that it had sent Kafr Manda resident Ahmed Mahmoud Khatib to carry out a terror attack in the Old City, in which Khatib stole a security guard’s gun and shot him with it before being gunned down by another guard… On Sunday, police released video footage of the Old City shooting, following controversy over whether the guard who shot Khatib had “confirmed the kill” by continuing to shoot the attacker after he was already down. Police have hailed the officer’s actions as “exemplary” in the face of a terrorist threat.

There was even (entirely fabricated) controversy about the reactions of trained Israeli security personnel who actually turned out to be too restrained – at the cost of Israeli lives.

If it turns out that this was somehow connected to the disengagement, we’re writing off the entire thing as a right-wing hoax. Some stories too-perfectly exemplify everything that’s wrong with vicious attacks on Israel – whether those attacks be of the armed terrorist or muddle-headed humanitarian kind.
