Pro-Palestinian Leftist Protesting Against Israel Kidnapped by Radical Islamists in Gaza — Update: Found Dead…
Even better, he’s part of the far-left International Solidarity Movement.
(BBC) — A radical Islamic group in the Gaza Strip has kidnapped an Italian activist.
Italian consular officials in the Palestinian territory say Vittorio Arrigoni was taken on Thursday morning.
In a video posted on YouTube, Mr Arrigoni appears blindfolded with what looks like thick black tape. He seems to have been beaten.
Mr Arrigoni is the first foreigner kidnapped in Gaza since BBC journalist Alan Johnston was snatched in 2007.
The BBC’s Gaza correspondent Jon Donnison says the group that is thought to have taken Mr Arrigoni is part of a movement sometimes called Salafism.
Salafists have often been in conflict with Hamas, the Islamist movement that governs Gaza, and they consider Hamas too moderate, says our correspondent.
In the video, the kidnappers demand that Hamas release a number of Salafist prisoners.
Mr Arrigoni is a pro-Palestinian activist who has been in Gaza for several years campaigning against Israel’s ongoing blockade of the territory.
Update: Looks like he had the snot beaten out of him.
Update II: Somehow the left will blame this on the Jooos.
(BBC) — An Italian pro-Palestinian activist has been found dead in the Gaza Strip hours after being abducted, security sources in the Hamas-governed territory say.
Vittorio Arrigoni was seized by a radical Islamic group on Thursday morning and video of him blindfolded with tape was later posted on YouTube.
Hamas police reportedly found his dead body inside a house.
Mr Arrigoni was the first foreigner kidnapped in Gaza since BBC journalist Alan Johnston was snatched in 2007.
Italian consular officials earlier confirmed that he had been abducted.
It is thought he was kidnapped by Salafist radicals, who have often been in conflict with Hamas, the BBC’s Gaza correspondent Jon Donnison says.

You think this left wing TWIT(TWA
You think this left wing TWIT(TWAT) will change his OPINIONS Of HIS WORLD when they get throught with this jackass?????
OK, He either turns to Jeshua, OR, go ahead CUT HIS HEAD OFF. Who cares? NOT ME!
Good for him, now he get some real OJT (on the job training)! Sounds like it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
I dare ya to kill him.
And Hamas cares about this guy because???? He’s going to defend the Palestinian cause against Israeli “aggression?”
PS — apparently there really is a downside to inbreeding.
Those crazy A-Hs eat their own. Surprised?
No.
This is GREAT news! We can only hope that the Palestinian members of that endearing ‘religion of peace’ show him the same hospitality they show their Jewish neighbors – and video the process!
Do I empathize or feel sorry for this leftest clown? HELL NO, not in this lifetime! He was a tool of the liberal propagandists, actively supporting their agenda – and now they have the opportunity to see what happens when they encounter someone who actually lives Islamic values. Maybe their worldview will change just a little, eh? Doubt it….
Please video the process you Palestinian douchebags! PLEASE!!!
Hope they give him a preview of allah paradise before he gets there,lol
Serves the cretin right!
Since he obviously doesn’t have the brain to see the reality in that region, let him find out the hard way who the real bastards are.
Please don’t tell me that the Israelis are going to spend any effort rescuing this fool.
I say let the militants keep him, since he defends them against the “evil” jooos
I say; Have at ‘em!
Stratfor has just announced that they have found this guy’s body.
Do you get it now, you treacherous, leftie “peace activists”! You are supporting these filthy murderous cretins against the only democratic nation in the Middle East.

Do you get it now, you treacherous, leftie “peace activists”!
No, they will turn on him as they did with Lara Logan.
Those dimwit libtards just don’t get it, do they?
Fiat boy stepped in shit this time…..
Yep. This useful idiot was just executed.

They didn’t beat the snot out of him. They cut it off, head and all.
heheh. Lets see what happens.
ROFLMAO! BEAUTIFUL! Serves that creep well, hope he gets gutted alive by his porkistinian dearies.
The Italian gene pool was just upgraded.
Now if only the MSM would run this story, but they will not. Fuck this Idiot and all the others like him. He facilitated his own death out of spite toward good forces who are fighting evil.
People like him will never learn and they think every so called Freedom Fighter is the coolest guy in town. Well you Fucking Ass Hole, how cool are these Freedom Fighters now?
I have no sympathy for this piece of shit, people like him only make things harder for the good people in the world.
I think more leftist twits should go there.
Hell, how bout ALL OF THEM!
That’s what happens when silly infidels try to be good lap dogs for the jihadis
Body of Italian activist found dead in Gaza, Hamas says
By REUTERS
04/15/2011
GAZA – Security officials found the body of an Italian man who had been abducted in the Gaza Strip in an abandoned house on Friday, a Hamas security official said.

Bahahahaha. Serves this dipshit right. When will these westerners learn that these Muslims HATE them? Stupid fucks.
Can we ship the Democratic party over there ?. He’s already dead, they killed him.
And? Nothing unexpected here…try to reason with animals and they will stab you in the eye. Best bet is bang-bang, “nice to meet you…oh, by the way, be sure and say hey to Allah”.
He had them going right up until the latest copy of NAMBLA fell out of his pantleg.
Good Night Sweet Prince.
The guy was obviously a Jew hating tool, but I wouldn’t wish his fate on anyone. Poor bastard, R.I.P.
but.. but.. but.. Lampadusa, Italy is helping muslims ‘escape’ gaydaffy!!!
The drunken sot Ken O’Keefe is already blaming this on Israel:
http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2011/04/guess-who-moonbats-blame-for-vittorios.html
Guess who moonbats blame for Vittorio’s kidnapping?
From the nutty-left Salem News:
Possibly the strongest voice in the years-long struggle to free Palestine, 36-year old Vittorio Arrigoni, a journalist and activist with the International Solidarity Movement, was kidnapped in Gaza.
One person who knows the steadfast dedication of Vittorio ‘Vic’ Arrigoni is our writer Ken O’Keefe, also in Gaza, who stated the bottom line on this sad day.
“Who benefits? This is the question we must ask first when something like Vic Arrigoni being kidnapped happens. The answer is, Israel; nobody benefits more than Israel.”
“So whether they are false-Muslims or agents of Israel, those that have Vic are serving Israel.”
Well, that was predictable.
Nice to know that Arrigoni travels in wonderful circles!
RIP. Hopefully he realized what an ignorant asshole he was before he died.
This totally tied to Libya. By all means necessary.
No tears shed or sleep lost. Fuck all these liberal, muzzie coddlers.
Serves him right.
The obvious outcome of the Red-Green alliance.
Really foolish of him to go to Gaza but I’m a little dissappointed in you all for taking joy in his death. In my experience these leftists are ignorant of the way the world works but if you think about it he was courageous and acting valiantly based on the lies he was probably sold in college. Probably a good person at heart and a child of God….but just very misled.
On another note, they say the group is the Salafists. These reporters are idiots. Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Wahabbis, Al Qaeda etc.. are ALL Salafists. That just means a “purist” or in the west “fundamentalist”. Any group that wants to return Islam to the early pure version is a Salafist. Dumbasses.
Gallah, hurry up and cut my freaking head off. I can’t stand anymore of this gay arabic music.
I do not pity him in the least bit, these leftist love siding with evil in this conflict, and making the good ones look like the aggressors. Evil got served exactly what he deserved i hope this happens to all left evil people who side the bad evil people around the world.
Dont make no mistake these kind of guys are absolute evil
I guess they “peaced” him to death, didn’t they?
“our writer Ken O’Keefe, also in Gaza”
He says ‘da joos did it’, or he’s dead.. reality in Gaza..
I know this was a human life and all but…..irony is a bitch isn’t it.
Give that man a “Free Free Palistain” Darwin Award!
LOL oxycon!!
Irony, thy name is Palestine.
These people are so insane they even kill their own allies. It won’t stop the useful idiots from rationalizing it and blaming Israel.
Quel Surprise?? heh? I don’t mean for us…i’m talking about him. It was his ‘DOH’ moment just a tad too late.
I wish the Left would realise that this guy’s fate is the fate of everyone in the West, come the Caliphate. Even the lefty Islamophiles.
“But, but, we were on your side”, they will say, as their heads are being hacked off.
Yummy…wonder if he had a come to Jesus moment thinking what a frackin’ mistake he made thinking like he did he before he was done in…talk about cannibalism, watching them all eat their own now.
lulz, proof that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is total bullshit.
next time you gaza boys are in America, i’ll buy ya a beer and some ribs
-President FFM
Oops…forgot to add one word below my last words above.
…’Delicious!’…
UPDATE: obama says we need a no-fly zone.
Perhaps those so called journalists who think that Palestinians is a worthy cause might see it different. Maybe they will think twice before defending Muslims/Arab killers. No difference between a Muslim and a Bin Laden.
Maybe they will make hi am Martyr and call a street after his name. Maybe a park but one thing for sure he is right now right this second enjoying a mixture of virgin boys and girls. I would not be surprised if he was having an orgy with Mohammed and the other so called hells angels. I can see other journalists being jealous right this second and wished they were with him enjoying it all with them.
@FuriousFatMa
pork ribs, yes?
BEYOND AWESOME

Thank you. It is not possible to hate Islam more than I do, but I do mourn this man’s death, even if he brought it on himself.
Fair enough, DOW – I agree that no one should have to die like that.
But when someone dies at a zoo because they insist on living in the lions’ den, people are less sympathetic, you know.
He thought he was there to help these folks – but this is what his murderers thought of him:
“The Italian hostage entered our land only to spread corruption.” The message then went on to describe Italy as “the infidel state”.
I can imagine him whining “But…..but…but….I’m on YOUR side.”
The Italian government should invade….
“I can imagine him whining “But…..but…but….I’m on YOUR side.””
bwahahahaha….now if only they could capture CODE PINK or some Berkely professors..
“It is thought he was kidnapped by Salafist radicals, who have often been in conflict with Hamas, the BBC’s Gaza correspondent Jon Donnison says.”
Well there’s your answer…the fool didn’t know there were different types of hostile Palestinians…He was supporting Hamas Palestinians whilst in a Salafist neighborhood….kinda like wearing a red bandana in a Crip neighborhood….
When sanctimonious, reality challenged fools cuddle up to and coddle maniacs, the fools die.

Congrats, Salafis. Please do kill some more Marxist terror abetters, we really don’t mind. Signed: Joooooos.
Is it me or does this douchebag look like a member of the “village people”? He may not have been one of them but he was certainly a village idiot. I doubt that the mainstream media will report this just like they don’t report the rapes of the female “activists” who go over there!! Now, if only they’d take care of the O’keefe whiner as well. That would be two for the price of one!
“Somehow the left will blame this on the Jooos.”

Wow just like the global warming activist that went to Antarctica believing that it was sunny and warm..
Update:
They froze to death…
I’m with “not the droid”. As big a horses ass as this tool was, nobody (well almost nobody) deserves that. A good fist beating and a kick in the ass might have done him some good. That’s all. Killing someone because their stupid…where does that end?
Sadly this is the way that many leftists end up. They are so righteously indignant that people don’t agree with them. You have to at least somewhat respect their convictions. (can’t believe I just said that.) I often tell my students that when answering opinion questions there are no wrong answers, just some really stupid ones. You have the right to your opinion. (Also the reason I don’t give many opinion questions. They don’t back their opinions up with reason.) Facts on the other hand are different. If you refuse to acknowledge the facts when given evidence, you are a fool. And in this case, a dead one.
Sad. Very sad.
This is exactly what will happen to Liberals here on our own Western turf when the Jihadists grow even more powerful. The first to be ravaged will be the Liberals before the Jihadists even think about Jews and Christians.
I hope that this tradgedy acts as a wakeup call and puts a halt to the Liberal activists prancing over there to “save” the Jihadists from… uh… themselves??
Their eating their own and I’m loving it! What will it take for people around the world to wake the hell up?
