2007-06-20 -- [WDC News Post] -- The US government has essentially performed an about face on the democratically elected government of the Palestinian Authority with President George W. Bush’s support of the new government formed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. In a briefing at the State Department, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told reporters that Bush phoned Abbas and said “that the United States supports his legitimate decision to form an emergency government of responsible Palestinians.” This statement ignores the fact it was those same “responsible Palestinians” that elected the terrorist government in the first place.
Rice went on to say that “A fundamental choice confronts the Palestinians, and all people in the Middle East, more clearly now, than ever. It is a choice between violent extremism on the one hand and tolerance and responsibility on the other. Hamas has made its choice. It has sought to attempt to extinguish democratic debate with violence and to impose its extremist agenda on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Now, responsible Palestinians are making their choice and it is the duty of the international community to support those Palestinians who wish to build a better life and a future of peace.”
This is an incredible spin by Rice and the Bush Administration. To infer that the Palestinian people are making a choice to dissolve a terrorist government is painting a blatantly false picture. The Palestinian people, whoever they really are, are represented by terrorists and thugs, including Abbas. The terrorists and thugs are educating their children and an entire generation of Arabs in the region that Israel should not exist, that it is good to be a martyr for Islam, that the only peace is when Islam rules over the land that they say Israel now “occupies.” And as soon as land was given for peace, Gaza became a staging ground for terrorist attacks and weapons smuggling from Egypt.
Now the US is buying into the terrorist promise for peace, which is no peace. And millions upon millions of hard earned US taxpayer dollars are flowing into the eager hands of the Palestinian Authority which will equate to more violence in the near future. It is time for the American people to say “no more” to the funding of terrorism. And it is time for the Bush Administration to quit spinning the Palestinians as “responsible.” This is a charade by the government at the expense of every American citizen. 2 Timothy 2:16 says to “shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” And the more money given to terrorists will increase unto more ungodliness.
