Merkava tank destroyed in Sidon [sic]"Oooooh, look how powerful we are, we can destroy what a papier-mâché tank!"
Political activists in Sidon Saturday blew up a replica of the Israeli-made Merkava tank as part of celebrations marking Resistance and Liberation Day.
Plumes of smoke ascended from the southern coastal city of Sidon’s Martyrs Square after activists blew to pieces a replica of the infamous war vehicle they spent 261 hours assembling.
“When we were building the replica we were full of enthusiasm and we were eager to finish building the Merkava so that we can destroy it ,” Ibrahim Jomaa one of the event’s organizers told The Daily Star. “We want to destroy it as a form of revenge from Israel that killed our people in Lebanon and Palestine.”
“We were brainstorming an unconventional means to mark the anniversary of the withdrawal of Israel from south Lebanon and we agreed that we’ll reproduce a generation 4 Merkava tank and destroy it as the occasion draws nearer,” Jomaa added.
And how great is the line "We were eager to finish building the Merkava so that we can destroy it"? Sort of sums up the attitude of terror-supporting Arabs, doesn't it?
