"I oppose that little children go to die. It is a horrible thing. At least 40 children in Rafah became cripples after their hands were blown off by pipe bombs. They received 5 Shekels [slightly over $1] to throw them. Who is ready for such a thing to happen to their son or his family? In the end there was a large uproar over the 13 year olds who were sent to the settlements. Why is this done?"
Abu Mazen, Arafat's deputy, in an interview in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Zaman, as quoted in the 20 June 2002 edition of , the Jordanian newspaper A Rai.
Any society who thinks this stuff up is hopeless on it's face.
For anyone to assume that such a brutal, primitive clueless group is ready for "statehood" is criminally ignorant, and ready to embrace feel-goodism over any semblance of real humanity.
Such a casual attitude towards mayhem suggests a readiness to accept casual internal barbarism against each other.
More of Zimbabwe Rwanda, and South Africa anyone?
Oh... I forgot. So long as they're "free" any behavior is tolerable. Indeed, preferable.
How convenient to forget all about the filthy rich Saudis who are bankrolling terror ops all over the world. The Palestinians are simply their attack dogs.
Well maybe some of them will read this article and realize the Israelis are the "hands" and the Palestinians are the "hand nots."
A point worth repeating.
The concept of war has been redefined.
D'OH!
And self-styled "intellectuals" continue to debate the "rules of war" and the Geneva conventions...
If I ever meet one of these losers face to face, and they spout the c**p that "we can't identify the actual perpetrator's nationality, so we must do nothing!", I may become a criminal...
Oh, they don't forget about the filthy rich Saudis, they blame the existence of the FTS on US. You see, we deal with them, so somehow they are our fault.
And this drives me nuts: if we deal with whoever is in charge when we deal with a foreign country, we are "propping up" dictators. If we refuse to deal with them, we are starving their children with our embargo. If we try to replace them with a different government, we are "interfering" with their internal affairs and attempting to "peddle influence" and strengthen our "hegemonic grip" on the rest of the world. In other words, no matter what we do, the left hates it. Because they hate the existence of wealth. (They pretend they hate poverty, but their war is truly and obviously against wealth.) That's my rant for today.
They are not against wealth when it's in the hands of creatures like Osama, or for that matter, in their own pockets.
