The assassination of the Hamas leader, who was disabled, has intensified Arab anger over what is perceived as Israel\u2019s arrogance \u2014 and its uncritical support from the United States. [from the editorialist]
\n[…] \u201c… an American-made aircraft was used against a man who was completely paralyzed \u2014 meaning that he could not, under any circumstances, represent a threat to the security of Israel.\u201d [quoted from the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram<\/i>]
\n[…] “How could a man in a wheelchair be a threat to state with a lethal arsenal of weapons?\u201d [from Al-Sharq <\/i>in Qatar]<\/p>\n

Sounds pretty condescending to the “handicapable” to me. <\/p>\n
