But we have so many projects and so little time! re: IDF bombing of Hamas police stations in Gaza. Hamas is a terrorist organization according to the US State Dept. These policemen were the same people who patrol the streets in uniform and launch rockets in civilian clothes. Also, since they NEVER stopped a rocket fired by Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade or Islamic Jihad, then they were complicit. The IDF attack in Gaza was against HAMAS and Hamas infrastructure. Very few residences were bombed.<BR/><BR/>Your attempting to link Gaza and the IDF incursion with a BART station security guard's shooting of Oscar Grant is quite a leap. If an Oscar Grant had been shot by an IDF soldier, Israel would open an investigation. If the soldier was found to have used excessive force, he/she would be punished according to Israeli law.<BR/><BR/>What else should be done?Becky Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100626198456326185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492013064573371146.post-49769064479865041022009-03-21T15:24:00.000-07:002009-03-21T15:24:00.000-07:00JOHN THIELKING WROTE IN AND ASKED ME TO POST THIS ...JOHN THIELKING WROTE IN AND ASKED ME TO POST THIS COMMENT:<BR/><BR/>"I thought Arafat was dead. How about updating this article to reflect that. Also, here Becky Johnson admits that the IDF are a bunch of cop killers (the Palestinian Police stations were the first targets to be bombed in the latest Gaza incursion) when she calls the Palestinian Police "the terrorists", who presumably deserve to die at the hands of the IDF. While many police are indeed terrorists, I seriously doubt that the IDF would attack the Hayward Police (re Curly) or BART Police (re: Oscar Grant) if given the opportunity."Becky Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100626198456326185noreply@blogger.com
