14 Palestinians missing in border tunnel after Egypt pumps in seawater

[Mosby]

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Gazan Civil Defense rescue teams on Tuesday morning were battling to save the lives of 14 Palestinians who went missing inside a smuggling tunnel when Egyptian military forces flooded it with seawater.

Muhammad al-Meidana, a Civil Defense official, told Ma'an that rescue teams had been able to save the lives of seven tunnel workers, but that contact was lost with 14 others, who were now missing.

Initial reports that the Civil Defense had established contact with these 14 workers turned out to be false.

2. Big yawn from the usual anti-Israel suspects. They'd go off if Israel could be blamed.

Palestinian lives only matter if Jews can be blamed for their deaths.

Otherwise, the anti-Israel contingent couldn't give a shit about Palestinians.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

3. Story has been posted

almost 12 hours and no outrage.....that's pathetic but oh so very telling.

4. Telling of what pray tell? I find it quite amusing that Maan when posted by someone who's ProPeace

gets panned and called dishonest lying Jew hating anti-semitic you name it, at least when Israel is the one doing the killing or injuring-but when it's Arabs killing Arabs it's all good

Now as to this story it's 100% believable and tragic, Egypt's regime has record of human rights atrocities against it's own citizens, refugees, and Palestinians, but then again no one is trying to sell Egypt as liberal paradise either

5. Yawn

Until you can find a post where I called them Jew hating, you're just talking out of your ass again. Would you like another source for this story? How about this one:

http://english.pnn.ps/2015/12/08/14-palestinian-workers-lost-in-gaza-tunnels-drowned-by-egypt/

Or this one:

Or this one:

Of course it's believable. And of course none of you mentioned it until shamed into it. It's all so pathetically predictable and not my fault you ignored it until you felt you couldn't and still be considered honest.

6. Shamed no hardly as I said just somewhat amused by the double standards regarding sources

[leftynyc]

7. You mean the way you

consider anything from the Jerusalem Post as undeserving? You mean like that? Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

[azurnoir]

8. I;ve used JPost myself so I'm not altogether sure what you're going on about

[leftynyc]

9. I'm "going on" about the hypocrisy

of you claiming only the pro-I side whines about sources. I sure don't see you supporting anyone on the pro-I position when that happens (with regularity on DU).

[azurnoir]

10. and how many times have you supported the opposite?

there seems to be a tendency to claim any Arab/Palestinian source is lying, unless it's an Arab on Arab incident f Israel is the is the one who did it, but doesn't report it , it did not happen or something

[leftynyc]

11. While I might have said I've

never heard of a source, I honestly can't remember discounting a story because of the source. Feel free to find otherwise.
