Good insight into Arab psyche.

[jimtorr]

Good insight, yes, though one wonders where Buckley has been. Even Hamas, the terrorist organization that partly ruled the "camp", now says there were only 56 Palis killed in Jenin.

lying was a sign not of innate bad character but of creative self-defense

Poor, poor Pallies, they have only sticks and stones and lies to defend themselves.

PINGING!!!

I don't know about making this blanket statement about Arabs, but I've often heard that the Koran OKs lying to non-Muslims. Does anyone have a quote?

Oh, a bit of levity for this serious thread ;)

"Out of the very stones they will fabricate such a tower of falsehoods
that you can only stand and gape in wonder and admiration repugnance
at their fruitful invention diabolical gall."

Where there is no free press, one tends to ask: What is it that is being hidden?

This amateurish psychoanalysis is maybe OK for home use, but what "free press" does the guy have in mind? The NY Times' radical libs or The Independent's anti-Semite bullshitters?

There are scores of hysterical Left-wingers in the lamestream media ready to get themselves killed or maimed at a battlefield knowing that it would cause a huge anti-Israeli outcry. These wannabe martyrs are in urgent need of a shrink's services, and to give them access to Jenin during the ongoing fight would be stupid to extreme.

Fantastic !

In the one week prior to the Israeli incursion into the West bank, there were about 45 Israeli deaths from suicide bombings. These have been stopped for the past three weeks. On that basis alone, Sharon did what he had to do to protect the county's citizens.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Gotta love the media take on this. They call a terrorist stronghold a "refugee camp". Nice doublespeak.

Where there is no truthful press the people wonder.

Everyone knows the Israelis killed 500 Palestinians at Jenin. The problem the Palestinians have with this is that 444 of them got better.

I particularly enjoyed the story I read where the Palestinians were having a funeral march carrying a body on a platform among several men. There was some sort of commotion and an Israeli military detachment showed up nearby and the funeral crowd took off running. The men drop the body but after a few seconds, the "body" got up and ran off too. I have little hope for the future of a people who can't even "lie" well.

arabs are liars, what a shock.
