'Sharon is a butcher': "This is worse than an earthquake. The Israelis threw out the Palestinians in 1948 and in 1967 and they're trying to do the same thing now," said Jamila Yehya, 54, a Jabaliya refugee whose home was destroyed on Friday.

'Sharon is a butcher'
16/10/2004 14:48 - (SA)
Jabaliya - Palestinians on Saturday surveyed the widespread devastation inflicted by Israeli troops during an 18-day military operation in the northern Gaza Strip, after the troops redeployed overnight - comparing the scene to the aftermath of an earthquake.

At least 129 Palestinians were killed in the operation, the deadliest in Gaza since the beginning of the intifada or uprising four years ago, which the Israelis said was aimed at preventing militant rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Around 100 houses were levelled in the refugee camp of Jabaliya and neighbouring Beit Lahya, scenes of the heaviest violence, said Palestinian security sources and a correspondent at the scene. Fifty workshops and shops along the Gaza Strip's main road were destroyed by tanks and army bulldozers.

'Worse than Nazis'

Lamp posts and electricity cables lay uprooted along roads mangled by Israeli tanks around Jabaliya and Beit Lahya. Puddles of stagnant drain water permeated refugee camp streets with a fetid smell. Whole districts were still without water and electricity on Saturday. "This is worse than an earthquake. The Israelis threw out the Palestinians in 1948 and in 1967 and they're trying to do the same thing now," said Jamila Yehya, 54, a Jabaliya refugee whose home was destroyed on Friday. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel "Sharon is worse than the Nazis," she continued, pointing to the ruin of her three-storey house in the Al-Sikka district, the most damaged in the camp.

Nearby, dozens of women sift through the ruins of their homes in the hope of recovering some valuables or personal effects. Surrounded by four of her children and holding a fifth in her arms, 32-year-old Manal Abu Nadi weeps over a pile of rubble.
Her house and nine others belonging to members of her family in Al-Sikka were demolished on Friday shortly before Israeli forces redeployed away from Palestinian residential areas.
"They destroyed our house without warning. We left without our shoes," she cries. "Sharon is a butcher." (cont)

1. Sharon is a beast

[DELUSIONAL]

2. My guess -- International charities pick up the tab

for Sharon's latest rage?

On the other hand -- if Israel were required to pay for the damage they cause -- more than likely the US taxpayer would be paying this bill.

It is painful to see the similarities -- the US is bombing families (headlines today) -- and Sharon's army is smashing homes -- come to think of it -- seems like neither Sharon nor bush believe in families. (dumb logic -- but these are really dumb wars)

In each case Sharon and bush are creating more people who hate the enemy (fill in the blank). Gee one would think that both Sharon and bush really want to create more enemies -- so they can tell the voters -- "hey -- look I am protecting you from the bad people".
