Another terrorist gone, another captive freed

The New Neo Posted on by

Do you remember the famous Ramallah lynching in 2000 of two Israeli reservists who’d had the terrible bad luck to wander into Palestinian territory, to be dismembered by the crowd who stormed a police station where they were being held? Remember the terrorist who leaned out the station window to triumphantly wave his hands dipped in their blood?

Well, that guy is no longer walking the face of the earth:

However, he had been in an Israeli prison until 2011, when he was one of the people (Sinwar being another) who was released in the Shalit exchange, which turns out to have been one of the worst decisions Israel ever made.

The Ramallah lynching occurred almost exactly 24 years ago, on Oct 12, 2000. Here’s a brief and somewhat sanitized description:

According to the Israeli civil rights organisation Shurat HaDin, Salha “repeatedly stabbed the dying Corporal Vadim Nurzhitz and threw his body from the window. Aziz [Salha], one of the leading perpetrators of the lynch [sic] in Ramallah, was not satisfied with the brutal murder. The bodies were then abused for hours to joyous reactions from the incited mob of supporters in the street.”

That was one of many indications of the bloodthirstiness of the Gazan mob, so that 10/7/2023 should have come as no surprise.

NOTE: This is good news: a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS ten years ago in Iraq at the age of 11 has been rescued at the age of 21 in Gaza. ISIS had given or sold her to what is described as a “Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member,” who held her captive all these years. About 6,000 Yazidis were captured around that time (2014), and 3,500 have since been rescued or freed. The details of how this girl was freed have not been revealed, but apparently Israel and the US were involved.

  1. Tablet Mag, Alex Joffe, “Headhunters“, How anthropology helps us understand the Oct. 7 massacres and the people who committed them

    I have a theory that Neolithic farmers occasionally took part in headhunting: the ritual practice of severing and preserving human heads. At various sites in Syria and the Levant, like Jericho, archaeologists found plastered and otherwise decorated skulls. Whereas most scholars believe that the skulls belonged to venerated ancestors, I and a few other archaeologists believe that these were victims of headhunting expeditions—ritualized violence. As in much later cultures, the skulls were artifacts of magic and power collected by deeply violent societies.

    So here’s the thing: Hamas are headhunters.

  2. L’Shana Tova to that girl who was rescued after 10 years, and sincere hopes that she can overcome what happened to her.

  3. I remember the Ramallah lynching very well. I wondered at the time why the Israelis didn’t just pulverize that building and everyone in it on the spot. Perhaps because it was the era of the peace process. Had to let the peace process work.

    Glad the Israelis are playing by different rules now. It really does seem like they’re settling some old scores. Good. And good news about the Yazidi girl.

  4. These were the people obama called the jv team thank heavens for her rescue

  5. “We eliminated terrorist Aziz Salha, who took part in the Ramallah lynching in Oct. 2000” Israel Defense Forces

    “he had been in an Israeli prison until 2011, when he was one of the people (Sinwar being another) who was released in the Shalit exchange, which turns out to have been one of the worst decisions Israel ever made.” neo

    That decision would not have been made had Israel a policy of providing convicted jihadists with an ‘unclean’ execution.

  7. God bless the young Yazidi and her family reunion…long peaceful life & swift recovery from her trauma…and a safe place to call home from now on.

  8. The girl has gone through puberty and entered young adult hood as a captive. Was she treated as a slave and abused, or was she treated as family?
    Pretty tough situation.
    If we are hoping she is happy to be returned, are we hoping she was mistreated as a prisoner? If we are hoping she was not mistreated all this time, are we certain she wants to go home?
    Imagine the choice will ultimately be hers, and I wish her well.

    Reminds me of movies, one old western where grown woman leaves rescuers to return to tribe, another where long ago kidnapped child is rescued and chooses to return to drug fueled street life

  9. Another one bites the dust

    Tonight’s Israeli Airstrikes on the Southern Suburbs of Beirut are said to have Targeted a Deep-Underground Bunker utilized by Hezbollah, hiding inside of which Israeli Officials believe was the New Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hashem Safieddine as well as his Family and several other Senior Hezbollah Officials.

  11. @ sdferr > “Tablet Mag, Alex Joffe, “Headhunters“

    An unusual thesis, not sure what to make of it, or if it has any practical application, but interesting. Joffe’s archaeologist/anthropologist viewpoint is at least different.
