Concurrently Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian Authority denounced the attack. Killing an American serves no purpose to Palestinians. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose.<br /><br />Contrast this with Israel's reaction to the USS Liberty, the Salahs and Rachel Corrie. Israel simply issued its reflexive vacant apology, plunged into denial mode, labeled anyone questioning "anti-Semitic" and promising to "investigate"…their standard non-response, though in each case, specific soldiers were responsible for the deaths and have yet to be held accountable. A promise to investigate by Israel illustrates an empty promise. <br /><br />Even when Israel does investigate and prosecute, as in the case of the Deir Yassin massacre April 9, 1948,<b> the responsible Israeli personal were fined a penny for killing over 100 men, women and children reminding us of the "justice" once afforded African Americans killed in this country by Caucasian members of the Klu Klux Klan. </b></i>Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-25978641681907520632016-03-22T20:15:36.750-04:002016-03-22T20:15:36.750-04:00Unable to open the door, and taking seriously the ...<i>Unable to open the door, and taking seriously the soldiers' threat to blow up the house with them inside, Khaled went to the bedroom, opened the window, raised his hands and shouted to the soldiers, in English, "Sir, sir, we need help.

Khaled tried again, this time in Arabic: "Help, help, we need help."<br /><br />A split second later, Salam heard three shots. Khaled fell silent. She would never hear his voice again.
