reach a fair deal

Oh so barak's statehood plan was what.....?

Arafat has recognized Israel's right to exist and the need for negotiations.

Ummm......riiiiiiight.

Prove to me right now that Arafat has disavowed the PLO charter that calls for Israel to be driven into the sea.

Take your time....it's going to take awhile.

"It also shows the power of Government Schools, something that should be outlawed in any modern society."

Well said, and spot on.

Be careful out there. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

E Rocc: There's an idea...cause the collapse of a friendly neighboring government.
VMI70: Since Jordon is Arab/Muslim, then, on its face, they are not friendly.

E Rocc: You all are talking about "ethnic cleansing"....or in some cases worse.
VMI70: You are correct in a perverse way, except that you and several FReepers have it exactly backwards. The Palestinians are cleansing the area of Jews, not the other way around.

E Rocc: Against a million people who had nothing to do with it? That's called "collective punishment", which is also forbidden by the Geneva Convention.
VMI70: Then the Geneva Convention needs to be amended to reflect how nations deal with unremitting terroism. The Geneva Convention addresses rules of war. There are no rules in terrorism.

E Rocc: I love the way some people can read Arafat's mind. Even he probably knows atrocities like this only hurt the cause of peace, which hurts the cause of his people.
VMI70: People don't have to read Arafat's mind. The physical evidence is there. Arafat doesn't give a tinkers damn about his people.

Cyclops08: Let the palestinians be Jordans problem.
VMI70: The Jordanians seemed to handle Black September pretty well. Turn about by Israel is fair play.


E Rocc: Arafat has recognized Israel's right to exist and the need for negotiations.
VMI70: Oh please. If you think for one minute that he is sincere, then you are delusional. The files captured by the IDF when they went into Arafat's compound say that he does not. Arafat is probably the most duplicitous leader since Stalin.

Bump--Great reply-nothing else need be said.

If the second picture down on the right doesn't elicit tears and rage as it did me, then there are lot of unfeeling, self centered people in this world.
If the Palis take to the streets celebrating this, as they always do, then the IAF ought to napalm the celebrants without mercy. Screw the US and its policy of telling the Israelis to restrain themselves.

I hope that picture becomes the rallying symbol for a no holds barred reaction. I thought I would never say this, as I was a soldier once and we more than any hate war, but I hope this precipitates one in the mid east. Israel can handle it.

Is there any word on the body count of the children?

Per top of the hour ABC Radio news, Hamas has claimed responsibility for bus homi-bomber.

Erocc is one of our more vocal pali-terror lovers. He obviously was never in the military.

[esopman]

You are correct.

But the 'West' still doesn't get it. We will have to suffer much more before some semblance of genuine understanding sinks into the political mentality of our leaders. The mindset that subdued Hitler & Tojo is now an absolute requisite.

There is one and only one word which the Islamofascists will ever understand.

ANNIHILATION.

[Travis McGee]

They are heros, to keep society functioning in the face of daily terror attacks, by merely getting on a city bus and not hiding in fear at home.
