Sadrists to Palestinians: Leave Iraq or we’ll drill holes in your heads

Gee, you’d think Iran would object. Unless, like every other Muslim regime on the planet, they don’t give a wet shinola about Palestinians except to the extent they can demagogue their “suffering” at the hands of the diabolical Jew.

I’ll inch out onto the limb here and predict that you won’t see this mentioned at the next ANSWER rally.

[T]he Shia militias are stepping up their campaign to drive out Iraq’s 20,000 remaining Palestinians – half the estimated 40,000 living in the country at the start of the war, all of whom were welcomed by Saddam Hussein and provided with housing, money and free education…

Sheik Mahmoud El Hassani, a spokesman for the Mehdi Army, said the Palestinians had brought their suffering on themselves. He said Shias believed they were in league with Sunni extremists and al-Qaeda.

“We are sure that all the Palestinians in Iraq are involved in killing the Shia people and they have to pay the price now,” he said. “They lived off our blood under Saddam. We were hungry with no food and they were comfortable with full bellies. They should leave now, or they will have to pay.”

Kareem Zakia, 61, said his son, Yeha Ahmed, was kidnapped and killed in the Karada area of Baghdad two weeks ago. “The kidnappers called me and told me that they had taken my son because he came from Palestine and all the Palestinians support the Sunni terrorists. I found my son’s body the next day with many holes in his belly made by a drill.”

He ordered his two other sons to leave with his wife and two daughters, but neighbouring Jordan refused to allow them to cross the border – as it has with many Palestinians trying to flee Iraq.

Update: Turns out See-Dubya covered this story last month … at Hot Air.

“neighbouring Jordan refused to allow them to cross the border – as it has with many Palestinians trying to flee Iraq.”
Palestinians are actually Jordanians. So Palestinians are being blocked from passing through their own country, on the way to getting back to their own quasi-country which is morally and financially bankrupt. If Iraq is unfriendly to Palestinians, I guess we ARE making progress there!

Paleosimians are widely disliked in the Arab world. (can’t blame them) I guess its like if I had to choose between a terrorist and a liberal I would have a tough time figuring out which one I hate more.

Mention the Mufti of Jerusalem, King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan, or the Arab Leaque in ANY university in America or Europe and all you will receive is a blank stare. Mention the Stern Gang and you will have the complete bloody history handed to you.

Palestine is OZ, only in this OZ Dorothy gets killed by the man behind the curtain.

Im sure many arabs would be very willing to help send them back to palistine as long as they are willing to become suicide bombers for Mohammed.

But, but, it’s supposed to be Israel who despises the sweet and innocent Palestinians. Sadr must be an undercover Mossad agent. That’s the only explanation that fits overall truth.

The Jordanian ruling elite are Hashemites if I’m not mistaken, and like in Iraq, rule over a majority, which in this case are the Palestinians. To appreciate how long they’ve been playing the Pals, just reflect on this. It’s the question I ask every keffiyeh wearing useful idiot undergraduate, and it makes their minds pop. If Jordan occupied the West Bank between 1949 and 1967, why were there still refugee camps in the West Bank, in ‘67 when Israel “occupied” it? Hmm? POP!

which savage is more savage…. to be ,, or not to be…

Why won’t Jordan allow them in? Jordan is “Palestine” but doesn’t want to be seen as “Palestine”.

The Jordanians have, in the past, attempted to purge Palestinians from their territory. King Hussein massacred them in the 1960s and 70s because the PLO was trying to destabilize his government and because Jordanians feared they were becoming a minority in their own country. All Jordanians are not Palestinian, just as all Palestinians are not Jordanian.

The MSM, like previous times, have ignored Muslim on Muslim violence. This may be anti-semitic/anti-Western, but I think it’s also anti-Arab/anti-Muslim. Afterall, if you think that these people are sub-human savages, why would you report their wholesale slaughter?

As distasteful as this sounds, it is the job of the Americans in Iraq to protect the Palestinians. No group more deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth, given the fact that Palestinians as a group are even more toxic and dangerous to the world than the German Nazis. However, “winning” in Iraq depends on establishing the rule of law and basic protectection against arbitrary slaughter or expulsion for every one, even the worst members of Iraqi society.

Nobody wants the PALs except Jimmy Carter.

It seems that Syrian political refugees that settled in Iraq decades ago are also being killed and driven out of Iraq. The Assad gov’t in Syria is refusing to let them back in.
