I guess old habits die hard

by David Benzion · 08/02/2007 1:58 pm

Egyptian soldiers executed four Sudanese refugees near the Egypt-Israel border overnight Wednesday in full view of IDF troops, a shaken-sounding IDF soldier said in an interview with Channel 10, Thursday evening.

According to the soldier, female IDF troops operating night vision devices identified several refugees approaching the border in an attempt to infiltrate Israel and alerted other soldiers who arrived after a few minutes in an army jeep.

However, Egyptian troops who also discovered the refugees, fired upon them, immediately killing two and wounding a third. A fourth refugee ran towards the fence and an IDF soldier stretched out his hands, trying to help him cross.

At that point, the soldier recalled, two Egyptian soldiers arrived and started pulling at the refugee’s legs.

It was literally like we were playing ‘tug of war’ with this man,” the soldier said. The soldier eventually loosened his grip on the man, fearing the Egyptians would shoot him.

They were aiming loaded weapons straight at us, I was afraid they were going to shoot us,” he said.

The Egyptians then carried the man several meters away from the border fence, and proceeded to beat him and another wounded refugee to death with stones and clubs.

What happened there yesterday was a lynch. These are not men, they’re animals. They killed him without even using firearms,” the soldier said. “We just heard screams of pain and the sounds of beatings. Then the screams stopped.”

Did they shout Allah Nascar before shooting?

But the IDF is eeeeevil. Thank goodness for those merciful Islamic countries where men can live freely. Unlike Israel, the US or any other western country.

What happened to the real IDF and the leaders like those who took responsibility against assassins at the German Olympics and the barbarians at Entebbe? How can a people forget parts of themselves that made them great?

Undoubtably, these Egyptian soldiers were devout Muslims and realized that in the religion of peace, it is not permissable to take another human being’s life.

Could it have been the egyptians would rather murder folks than see them run to safety with Israeilis? I cannot understand this thinking. It’s too barbaric

Given the many things that are done in the name of religion, this does not come as a surprise to me. Given the barbaric region and hatred that runs amuck in the Middle East, that doesn’t surprise me. Given the Dimwits want us out of the Middle East, that doesn’t surprise me. Their “cut and run” attitude shouldn’t surprise anyone. Nor should anyone be surprised when another 9/11 happens under a Dimwit’s watch.

This is when a good video camera is needed.

Don’t you realize these messengers of Allah (PBUH) saved this man’s soul? If he would have escaped he would have been considered an infidel, and that would have meant he was doomed to eternal damnation. Just consider this little incident as a gift from the messengers of truth and peace. This was nothing less than an early ticket to paradise, complete with 72 virgins. He is truly blessed.

Saudi Arabia is worse than Egypt. And both are our allies and we do what we can to keep their governments in power.

Would I, as an IDF soldier, have pointed my gun at the Egyptians? I do not know. It sure make me think about what I would have done.

What in the world would have been so dang dreadful to the Egyptians to simply let Israel have him?

Makes me feel like Jonah and ask why do we even bother with “those” people?
