Rice: Peaceful Change Could be Achieved if Israel Fulfills its Obligations

IMRA/PMC ^ | 8-26-03

[SJackson]

Whereas the number of Israelis killed during that time [8 months] by suicide terrorist attacks alone, on a basis proportional to the United States population, is approximately 9,000, three times the number killed in the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001;

If the congressmen or their staffs would spend more time on FR they'd know that comparisons like that are downright un-American. :>)

denise, you're missing my point. I'm not questioning your math skills, I'm merely wondering whether you'd appreciate your pro-rata forumla being turned on it's head and used for equivalent emotional purposes by those looking to stoke different fires.

SJackson has the original speech linked on this thread.

Another thead mirrored here: Rice: Israel must fulfill its responsibilities for peace (BARF ALERT)

Just a good example of what the Israeli foreign affairs people have to contend with. What is the Bush Administration thinking? It's all conjecture and second-guessing thus far.

But we'll find out sooner or later.

<< Heavenly Father, your Word is very clear; we are to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" and you have promised to "Bless those who bless Israel" and "curse those who curse Israel".

Dear Lord, in order to fulfill these injunctions I have one and only one prayer request for our President:

Open his eyes to the truth, help him to once and for all realize that Israel's enemies are America's enemies. Work in his heart to FINALLY STOP listening to the likes of Colin Powel [And now Condi Rice] who saw Israel is at fault and who begged the terrorist Arafat to work to stop the violence [He himself has instigated] in order to "salvage" the "Road Map to Peace."

Father this is something we as a Nation and he as our President would NEVER do with bin Ladin and his ilk.

Lord God, instead of encouraging Israel to "maintain restraint," lead President Bush to set Prime Minister Arial Sharon and the Nation of Israel free to defend themselves; to utterly destroy these Islamic savages, these killers of innocent women and children. These wicked men who follow and serve a false, evil, wicked, bloody pagan "god," -- and whose stated goal is the utter destruction of Israel.

Convict our President that it is the height of hypocrisy to take the stand he has undertaken. We cannot fight and kill terrorists and defend our own Nation from those who have brutally slaughtered our citizens and who threaten our very existence while at the same time forbidding Israel to do the very same thing. Until our President does this, we as a nation are under your curse and will continue to be guilty of supporting the destruction of Israel all in the name of a delusional and evil, "Roadmap to Piece."

This is my only request the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen >>

Amen, indeed!

Blessings -- Brian

Who are those looking to stoke different fires?

She is delusional. Pathetic. I thought she was smart.
