PLO Flag to Fly in Washington D.C.
Israel National News ^ | 07/23/10 | INN Staff

Posted on 07/23/2010 10:34:31 AM PDT by Ooh-Ah

The United States State Department has announced to the Palestinian Authority/Palestinian Liberation Organization Mission representative in the United States that its status will be upgraded from a 'bureau' to that of a "general delegation' and that this change will allow the office in which the representation is situated to fly the PLO, now also the Palestine Authority, flag at its entrance.

The upgrading, besides allowing the flag to be flown, also grants certan privileges to the delegation staff, such as diplomatic immunity, although it is not equal to embassy status.

The PLO's chief representative in the United States, Maen Areikat, said that this step makes the PLO's status in the United States equivalent to its status in Canada and many western European countries.

What do you think CodePink could accomplish given diplomatic immunity? Just how far could this immunity extend? Maybe Bill and Bernadette could actually get away with more bombings? I have seen insanity before but this is beyond the imagination.

...

Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem claimed that the step was taken to strengthen Abu Maazen and try to get him to agree to direct talks with Israel. However, they expressed dissapointment that the White House did not make ceasing the PA’s anti Israel incitement a condition for the status upgrade.
...

Good heavens!

Obama is ANTI ISRAEL, so why would Obama make it a condition for anything?

I am now 100% convinced that Al Queda, Hezbollah and Hamas was a creation of the Communists to destroy Western Civilization and the Judeo/Christian religion.

Assuming this is true and they can do it, what happens when the only two ideologies left on the planet is Communism and Islam?

That flag should be sent and flown at the Neverland ranch. These people are living in a made up world of their own imagination. This is crazy.

It means we can catch them in the act of setting a car bomb at the Capitol and can only declare them Persona Non Grata and make them leave the country. And then they can come back in that Diplomatic Pouch.

My concern is not so much "setting" the bomb, but detonating it. And not so much at the Capitol, but on Main Street [Your Town] USA.

Then why not the battle flags of Hamas, Hesbollah, Iran, NK, and every other terrorist organization or nation.
