This macabre story details the death of a Hamas leader, Naser Jarrar, in a shoot-out with Israeli troops. The Post relates that Jarrar had no legs and only one arm; he used his last remaining hand to fire at the Israelis. He lost his other limbs a year ago when a bomb intended for a terrorist attack exploded prematurely. The Post doesn’t report it, but other stories have said that Jarrar’s last act was to shoot a Palestinian who had been sent by the Israelis to try to convince him to surrender. By the end of the battle, there was nothing left of Mr. Jarrar but his head. Now, there is nothing funny about this story. But I can’t be the only one who was reminded of the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (go to Scene 4) who continued fighting as first his arms, then his legs, were lopped off, one by one. (“It’s just a flesh wound!” “All right, we’ll call it a draw.”) I guess one could say that the Palestinian terrorists are beyond parody.
