The protracted military operations in Libya, with neither side yet achieving ultimate victory in spite of the great material superiority of the pro-Gaddafi forces, have proved somewhat of an embarrassment to the reputation of Arab fighting prowess. But one recent success at least has shown what the Arab fighting machine is still capable of.
On Saturday night 12th March 2011, while they slept in their beds, five members of an Israeli family were killed; the parents , two boys, one aged eleven and a toddler of three and, greatest success of all, a three-month old baby who had her throat slashed. It really takes some courage to cut the throat of a three-month-old but, as she was sleeping at the time, this was probably not beyond the ability of a well-trained Arab militant.
It is not often that our Arab friends can claim a great heroic victory, but this event showed what they are really capable of when they try. Celebrations resounded throughout Gaza, with celebratory sweets being handed out. Doubtless this epic feat will be commemorated by the naming of squares and football teams, the striking of medals, and long-lasting adulation throughout the Arab world.
Israeli babies – tremble in your cots. You have met your match!
