Palestinian Mansions

Help me I'm being oppressed alert! If it wasn't for the fact that Palestinian Authority controlled land was so thoroughly ethnically cleansed and is now completely Jew-free, then I might just blame this on the Zionist oppressors.

Not that I'm against Arabs living in mansions--I'm all for anybody living in as large a house as they can afford, restricted only by their conscience--but I do think this is a glaring example of both the media and Palestinian agitator hypocrisy. When was the last time you saw any images of Palestinians which weren't of "refugee camps" or of kids being "oppressed by Israel"? The only thing more satisfying would be to learn that these mansions had Hamas officials living in them since one of their major sources of support seems to have been from the destitute masses which perceived Fatah officials as systematcally corrupt. Heh, even Hamas gets things correct from time to time.

Shiloh Musings has more pics here and here. Thanks to Dust My Broom for the tip.

UPDATE: More pics of Palestinians being "oppressed".

1 Rusty, please define "refugee camp." The way I figure it, once you have running water, a sewage system, and municipal power you should no longer be considered a refugee camp. At that point you're just a plain old city, which may or may not be a shithole like most Palestinian cities are,

3 Granted they are probably for extended families, still, I bet these residents don't make it much to the rock thowing and car swarms.

4 These mansions, and scores of others like them, adorn the hilly outskirts of Jerusalem. I believe Muhammad Abu-Tir (elected Hammas representative) lives in a similar "humble abode". Car swarms no, but stone throwing at Israeli cars - sometimes. An Arab neighborhood in North Jerusalem - Shuafat - is still considered a refugee camp, despite its lovely villas. And the dividing fence is nowhere in site. Some of these buildings do not appear to be inhabited. I hope they are not intended for war purposes, like some of the empty houses in South Lebanon.

I just wonder how much money the EU contributed to the Darfur refugees, or to their poorer European members. I vacationed in Portugal in 2004 - some rural areas could only dream of your average Palestinian village. Not to mention parts of Romania and Bulgaria. But then again, those unlucky Europeans do not enjoy the luxury of being occupied and oppressed by the Zionists.

5 Shivv,

Should probably read that as "refugee camps" not refugee camps. Just as it probably should read "kids being oppressed by Israel" rather than kids being oppressed by Israel.
