Gaza Palestinians Blow Up Donkey 60 Meters From Israeli Border For Some Reason

Yeah, they do this sometimes, on account of being savages.

It’s not as bad as when Hamas placed explosives all over the Gaza Zoo, used it as a military outpost, and then had international media outlets excoriate Israel for the resulting devastation. For a while the story was the basis for the dumbest “what won’t they cover” pro-Palestinian media theme – Reuters and the AP both decided to inject zebra-colored donkeys into the news cycle on the same day – but it was quickly overtaken by the even dumber Palestinian Na’vi media feeding frenzy.

Anyway:

A small Syrian-backed terrorist group in Gaza said its activists blew up a donkey cart laden with explosives close to the border with Israel on Tuesday, killing the animal but causing no human casualties. Abu Ghassan, spokesman for the terrorist group, said more than 200 kilograms of dynamite were heaped on the animal-drawn cart. He added that the explosives were detonated 60 meters from the concrete security barrier that separates the territory from Israel. The donkey was killed in the blast, but there were no reports of human casualties.

There’s some kind of angle here about the Islamic dogma – oft-quoted as it is on official Palestinian Authority channels – that “the Jews are the enemies of Allah… even if donkeys cease to bray… the Jews will not cease to be hostile to the Muslim.” And it’s probably worth mentioning that Syria is still supporting terrorism, despite how Obama’s unctuous engagement was supposed to have moderated them months ago.

But honestly the story’s just kind of pathetic and sad.
