A 10-YEAR-OLD Bahraini girl yesterday sent a heart-breaking appeal to US President George Bush, urging him to stop the Israeli massacre of Palestinians.
Modern Knowledge School student Fajer Hussain Mohammed presented a letter yesterday to US Ambassador Ronald Neumann, at the embassy in Zinj.
"What caused this anger, to kill poor, innocent children," Fajer asks in her letter to President Bush.
"The children of Palestine have a right to enjoy their childhood and not die at this young age."
Fajer, accompanied by her mother Mona Ibrahim, read the letter to Mr Neumann, who promised to make sure that it is delivered to President Bush.
They both later released a white pigeon from its cage in the embassy's courtyard, as a symbol of peace.
"I am very pleased by the warm welcome I received from Mr Neumann, whom I am sure will do his best to give this letter to the US president," said Fajer.
"The letter was my only way to express my deep sadness about the brutal killing of the Palestinian people by the Israeli armies.
"I wish I could have done more for my brothers and sisters in Palestine but for the time being this is all I can do."
Fajer said she wrote the letter to President Bush because she was confident he would be able to end the war in Palestine.
"The president is a very strong and powerful man. I am sure that somehow he can come out with a solution and stop the killing of the innocent people in Palestine," she added.
Open letter to Bush...

Dear Mr President,
I saw footage of the destruction of Bethlehem on CNN. I am sickened and repulsed at the wanton destruction of this city. Unfortunately, every Palestinian city is experiencing the same. I have many friends in Bethlehem, all of whom have families, young children. God only knows the terrors they are experiencing. I am so sad and angry that I can barely write this note to you. While you are probably sleeping, your allies are slaughtering the hopes of an entire people and destroying their lives. You make me ashamed to be an American citizen.
You have made the entire nation accomplices to this barbarism. You have made all Americans accomplices to Nazi-like thuggery and it is a stain the American nation will NEVER be able to remove. Just as the Germans have been stained by their past, so have you stained the reputation forever of every American citizen.
Mr President, your continued support for the regime of Israel and its murderous and destructive action is disgusting and immoral. I don't know what Bible you read but it is not the one I used when attending Mass in Bethlehem. For you to ever walk in a church after your support for this murderous escapade will be sinful.
You can be assured that I and my entire family will spend the rest of our lives to make sure that this Nazi-like nation never receives another US penny to use to murder more people. When I worked in the US Congress, I considered what we were giving to be excessive then. Now, we have already given $100 billion to Israel. The problem they face is that their greed to steal more land and murder more people met with resistance and they are paying the price. The occupation has corrupted that country to its rotten core.
Israel defending itself. What a joke. Ariel Sharon is a war criminal and you have made us his sponsor. This is no war on terror. This is terror unleashed on an entire unarmed population with a few fighters trying to defend their families and homes. You have stained the reputation of the United States of America. My country!!!
Mr President, you are an embarrassment to humanity. And, unfortunately, you have just cheapened the life of every American. Your administration will go down in history as the one that snapped the moral fibre of this country to the rest of the world.
Ashamedly yours.

after the attack, the Israelis sent specialists to help pull people out of the rubble. The Palestinians fired guns in the air to celebrate. That is the end of the discussion...Perfectly stated. As far as I'm concerned, Israel is the 51st state. What is done to them is done to us all.
To: Death2Islam
I will also never forget that my mother was in the New York area at the time. Had she been in the WTC, the Israelis would have tried to get her out, the Palestinians danced on her grave. And people want to criticise me for saying we ought to kick Arafat up the jacksie?
The same applies to anyone else. Who is your friend and who is your enemy. This reaction proves it to any reasonable level of satisfaction.
Regards, Ivan

I get so nauseated when I see the little trainee suiciders with their fake belts on. Maybe that makes us weak. Here is a people who literally take credit for parading human bombs in the street. I feel like a paradigm shift needs to take place in the portrayal of these people...They have to be declared as combatants and bloodied so badly that the massari schools abandon this strategy...Otherwise this will never end.
I would be in favor of permanently "tagging" people who show up at these protests and show violenct intent with dye or dusts or something and permanently banning them from the US and Israel just based on their attendance at these rallies...Then we have border detectors that pick up the signature of the taggant and the people are turned back...In jails "you gotta keep em separated" meaning gangs...If this isn't a case of gang criminality, I don't know what is. Civilization cannot stand against this death cult without getting its hands dirty.

In a way having no innocent ones around makes the job easier the IDF can kill every Pali over the age of 10 and then go sleep the sleep of the just knowing that yes they really were all bad people to a man.

Another alternative is to totally disarm the populace, set up real schools and medical care and wait out the generation of bitter malcontents crying out for justice(psyops(small "P")could be used to discredit whatever press attention the hard core powerless militants would undoubtedly receive.
Moral insanity requires the highest and most sophisticated form of opposition...I don't know if we can get enough information into the hands of the global community to reach that diagnosis, but that ISLAM is PEACE crap has GOT to be deconstructed!

The children of Palestine have a right to enjoy their childhood and not die at this young age."
Thanks to TomGuy for much of the above.
MORAL CLARITYAn honorable, moral solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Isn't the only honorable way to "solve" the Arab-Israeli conflict through the use "ethnic cleansing?" (And by that term I mean the polite, but forceful removal of all 3 million Pali from Eretz Yisrael -- which is not "genocide", as some on the Left misuse the term.) Let me explain.
The current wave of "suicide" bombers (a misnomer, since their primary goal is not suicide but the mass murder of civilians) is unprecedented and unrelenting. But it should not be unexpected. It is the direct (and obviously planned) result of brainwashing that started with Pali children as young as
kindergarteners. Look at the faces of the babies in the pictures above. What vomitous horror - visiting this upon their heads. What unspeakable evil.
The Palestinian descent into barbarism does not have some dimly-lit origin. The homicidal-bombers are not some unforseen phenomenom that sprung forth from the "hopelessness" of the populace (as the PA "leaders" would have us believe). They are part and parcel of the war machine created by the PA to wreak systematic havoc on Israel. Someone was paid to train -- or more accurately, brainwash -- the Pali youth. Someone was paid to buy the explosives and make the bombs. Someone was paid to search out and plan a path to a weak spot in Israeli defenses. Someone was paid to store the bombs and then give these homicidal-bombers their weapons. Someone was paid to videotape their farewell messages. Someone was paid to transport these homicidal-bombers across security lines. Someone paid the family tens of thousands of dollars specifically for their "martyrdom." And, as we are now learning, those paymasters include
Yassir Arafat,
Saddam Hussein and the
Saudi elite.
The PA has not been preparing its people for peace, but radicalizing them for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. The PA has appointed militant
clerics who preach hate and "martyrdom". By doing so, they have knowingly turned this into a
religious war, one in which compromise is heretical. And in doing so, the Palestinians have rejected the Oslo premise that the conflict is about borders, about which compromise is required. Indeed, as Henry Kissinger has
noted:
In reality, the number of Palestinian leaders... who want peace in the Western sense -- as a point after which the world lives free of tensions with a consciousness of reconciliation -- is minuscule. The fundamental schism is between those who want to bring about the destruction of Israel by continuing the present struggle, and those who believe that an agreement now would be a better strategy to rally forces for the ultimate showdown later on.
The result of Arafat's strategy of hatred is now known: Pali society
cannot co-exist in peace with Israel. Recent polls tell the story clearly. Over 87% of the Palis
support the murder of Israeli
women, and
children, even
babies. Given these numbers and the underlying religious fervor, there is
NO POSSIBILITY of a negotiated settlement that would be honored by the Palis within their lifetime. Arafat has filled the Palis with visceral hate to prepare them for unrelenting war. He has brainwashed an entire generation of youngsters to become suicide bombers. He has unleashed almost 10 years of official "judeo-nazi" indoctrination on the Pali people. Arafat has committed crimes not only against the entire populace of Israel, but against Palestinians and their children as well. Truly, these are
Crimes against Humanity.
Current conditions make ethnic cleansing not only justified, but
morally required. As antithetical as it sounds to liberal ears, ethnic cleansing is literally the only humane solution. To pursue a negotiated settlement is akin to locking a tiger and a human with a gun in the same cage. Assign the roles to whomever you wish, but the result is the same. Someone in the cage is eventually going to be killed, maybe both.
The world community's role in this to date has been to create this inhumane spectacle, this caged, semitic death match. The world community's response going forward ought to be the equivalent of an "Allied invasion of Nazi Germany" because nothing less will suffice to rid the world of this monstrosity. Eject all Arab peoples from Gaza and the West Bank (because once you eliminate the terrorists, their supporters and their families, virtually nobody is left). Then round up the PA "leaders" (including "
clerics" and "
teachers"), and put them on trial for their
Crimes against Humanity. If they are found guilty, hang them in public.
And to the extent that this PA policy was conducted, funded, supported, promoted, or otherwise enabled by their Arab bretheren (notably
Syria,
Lebanon,
Egypt,
Iraq,
Qatar, and
Saudi Arabia) then it is incumbent upon these countries to pay for their sins by taking in the Palis. Arabs created this mess. Let Arabs bear the toll for the human misery they created.
Even Tom Friedman of the New York Times has come around, finally grasping the global ramifications of Arafat's evil:
"...all they [the Palestinian leaders] can agree on is what they want to destroy, not what they want to build... Let's be very clear: Palestinians have adopted suicide bombing as a strategic choice... This threatens all civilization because if suicide bombing is allowed to work in Israel, then, like hijacking and airplane bombing, it will be copied and will eventually lead to a bomber... with a nuclear device threatening entire nations."
What is needed is the elimination of this cancer on humanity. End it quickly before more innocent lives are lost. End it now or it will escalate to Weapons of Mass Destruction. End it clearly and with finality so that there is absolutely NO ambiguity that civilization finds this abhorent. If nothing else, as a sop to liberal sensibilities, end it for the children. Moral clarity demands nothing less.

Therefore, your posting will soon be deemed the work of an anti-Semitic disruptor.I'm becoming more opptimist about that. Seems many freepers (to my surprise because it doesn't happen with other identity politics labels) didn't want to post and be called an antisemite for not following a certain party line or for saying the "wrong" thing without even knowing it. Slowly that is changing as more as speaking up and the baseless charges of antisemitism are repeated so often they become an object of mockery.
FR is returning to a good old days of honest all-American knock-down drag-out fist fights. The creeping up and slitting of throats from behind is slowly receding.

Disgusting. Can't say I am surprised though.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your question on whether I would be able to post on FR when I get to Bahrain. As far as I know, there will be no restrictions on internet use. I leave for Ft. Worth, TX this Sunday for a week of training and then I'll come home to Reno for a week and then fly out to Bahrain. The contract is for approx. 19 months. I will keep you up to date on the happenings there to the best of my ability. And thank you for your interest and concern for me. God Bless you.
