BULLDOZER RELATED STORIES

The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stole two bulldozers today and used them to demolish a section of the wall on the Gaza-Egypt border. As LittleGreenFootballs points out, last Sunday the Washington Post told its readers that the opening of the border was “one of the few successes of Mahmoud Abbas.” LGF guesses that’s true, if you look at it from the terrorists’ point of view.

On a related note, another group of Fatah terrorists tried to kidnap the parents of Rachel Corrie (scroll down)—and let them go when they figured out they were the parents of the woman who died trying to stop Israel from destroying terrorist smuggling tunnels.

In a separate incident on Wednesday which further underscored the growing
lawlessness in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian gunmen burst into a house in and tried to kidnap the parents of Rachel Corrie, who was killed in 2003 as she protested the impending demolition of a house in the southern Gaza town, according to their host.

The five gunmen, who also appeared to be affiliated to the ruling Fatah movement, eventually relented after being told who their targets were, according to Samir Nasrallah, in whose house the couple was staying.

Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003 as she tried to stop it from demolishing Nasrallah’s house. Her parents, Craig and Cindy, have repeatedly visited Nasrallah since. They left Gaza safely after the incident, Nasrallah said.
