Allegedly Alleged Militants

Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, January 8. 2007 08:16
As always, when the IDF says something, it's "allegedly," yet the terrorists' words are accepted verbatim.

Israeli soldiers detain alleged Palestinian militants from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades during an operation in the West Bank city of Nablus, Sunday, Jan. 7, 2007. Israeli troops carried out an arrest raid in Nablus early Sunday, surrounding a building and detaining at least four people, Palestinian security officials said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed)

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*hmmm... lemme see if I got this straight.

From the captions...
"An Israeli soldier detains alleged Palestinian militants from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades...."

and

"Israeli soldiers escort an arrested Palestinian man during a military raid..."

So, if you are a member of a terrorist gang, then you are alleged to be a "militant". (Isnt the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade been deemed a terrorist organization?)

But, if you are just a plain Palestinian and arrested at the same time as terrorists, then you aren't even considered a "militant".

BTW, what is a "militant" in the Palestinian territories???
