Have Egyptians Gone Mad?

Or did israelis shoot this woman and blame it on Egyptians?

Egyptian police shot dead an Eritrean woman as she tried to cross the border illegally into Israel when she ignored warnings to stop, a security source said on Monday.

"The woman in her thirties was shot in the chest after she ignored police orders to stop. She died instantly," the source told AFP. "An Eritrean man, 30, was also shot in the foot as he tried to escape and is now being treated in hospital," the source said.

The two were part of a group of 10 Africans trying to cross into Israel late on Sunday when they were spotted by a routine border patrol.

On Tuesday, a 50-year-old Sudanese man was shot dead trying to cross into Israel south of the town of Rafah.

The 250-kilometer (155-mile) Egyptian-Israeli border has become a major transit route for migrants and asylum-seekers.

Dozens of migrants, mainly Africans, have been arrested in recent months as Egyptian police try to halt the constant stream into Israel. Several have been killed while trying to make the crossing.

The U.N. refugee agency said earlier this month that more than 1,500 Africans, mostly from Eritrea, have entered Israel illegally through Egypt since the start of the year.

On Sunday Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered security authorities to deport to Egypt migrants who entered the country illegally and to tighten surveillance of the Israel-Egypt border. An official in Israel's public security ministry has said that more than 4,700 people entered Israel from the Sinai over the past 14 months alone.

This doesn't even make sense.

Why the fuck would a lowly paid Egyptian border patrolman shoot an unarmed woman dead just to stop her from entering israel???

Having lived in Egypt for over a decade - that's beyond implausible.

These guys are generally dirt poor and God-fearing, not to mention dark skinned - they're not candidates for shooting an unarmed dark-skinned woman dead to stop her from entering the zionist shit hole.

This is no doubt another example of israeli brutality that they try to pin on Egyptians.

There is a song called Mad World which quite sadly describes suicidal tendencies of human civilizations of the past and present and probably of the future as well. Every day people are dieing in Palestine and yet dark colored people are trying to sneak in across the border. They are either mad or the whole story is part of the Zionist horrible propaganda of lies and deceptions that lies in the core of the Ziostan.

There is English version of Iranian 24/7 TV satellite channel that is as good if not better than Al-Jazeera. It can be watched online as well.

Shoot first, ask later.

GAZA CITY: Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian farmer near a crossing between the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and Israel Tuesday, Palestinian medics and the Israeli military said.

Hassan Abu Sabatt, a 35, was shot dead near the Kissufim crossing by gunfire that came from inside Israel, the Palestinian medical sources said. An Israeli spokeswoman confirmed the shooting incident, but said the dead Palestinian had been trying to plant explosives.

Typical israeli bullshit.

According to sources including members of Sabatt's family he was simply a Gazan farmer.

"The soldiers spotted a Palestinian and opened fire on him as he was placing an explosives device near the security barrier" that separates Gaza from Israel, the spokeswoman told AFP.

"The soldiers noticed that the Palestinian was hit," the spokeswoman added.

The latest death brings to around 198 the number of people killed since the Israelis and the Palestinians resumed peace talks in November.

Since the eruption of the second Palestinian uprising in 2000, the number of people killed is estimated at 6,159. The vast majority of the dead have been Palestinians. - AFP
