French Minister Attacked by Gaza Mob

French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie was attacked by a mob in Gaza on Friday morning. Her attackers were enraged over statements she had allegedly made the day before supporting human rights for kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

Alliot-Marie was mobbed as she entered Gaza, with a crowd surrounding her car, pounding on its windows, and throwing shoes at the vehicle. One person jumped on the car. Two children were pushed in front of the first car in Alliot-Marie's convoy, forcing the convoy to a stop while the attack continued.

One sign at the rally had a picture of Alliot-Marie with a red cross over her face. Others called on the foreign minister to leave Gaza.

Hamas police eventually stopped the furious protest and allowed the convoy to continue. Hamas leaders expressed sympathy with the rioters, saying Alliot-Marie's comments regarding Shalit reflected a “total bias toward Israel.”

Alliot-Marie was not hurt in the attack.

She had met Thursday with the parents of Gilad Shalit. The kidnapped soldier, who Hamas claims to have in custody, holds French citizenship. Alliot-Marie assured his parents that “France has not forgotten Shalit,” and said she would insist that the European Union ask Hamas to allow Red Cross representatives to visit Shalit, as required by international law.

According to AFP, trying to 'justify' the incident, the Gaza mob may have mistakenly believed that Alliot-Marie termed Shalit's captivity a “war crime.”

Shalit's father Noam had called on France to push the EU to condemn the kidnapping as a war crime, and his statement was wrongly attributed to Alliot-Marie on Israel Radio's Arabic-language website, an AFP reporter said. This has not been corroborated.

so.... why cannot Israel begin directing the fire of artillery or missiles into the afflicted areas?
If a person has a boil on his buttock and it is making life miserable, then he has the boil lanced, drained and removed.
Are not these muslim cowards every bit as much of a festering sore on the buttock of humanity?

I know the family is in pain, my heart goes out to them. I lost my 12 yr. old daughter and I know it hurts. But I'd rather she be dead than have to live in scum filled filthy waste among Palestinian's.
Hamas are liars and the scum of the earth. They hide behind children and women's skirts, even dressing like women to move around. These aren't men with pride - they're dog's vomit. Send in the Mossad and IDF with un-tied hands and watch them quake. Make sure the back doors shut tight...while they're shoving their wives and daughter's to the front-lines, most will try to retreat as usual.
Mossad knows by now where Gilat is kept, so forget what the world thinks and go get him.
