Why Don’t I Care About the Palestinians?

I dont care a bit about the plight of "Palestinians".
I dont like the ones in Tampa, and I certainly am not impressed with the ones in the Middle East.
Why dont they all blow themselves up and teach us all a lesson?
Kind of like the Jim Jones cultists.They have run out of options, in their version of reality.Why dont they all go to ....the afterlife they worship and so richly deserve?

I like Derbyshire's solution. The "palestinians" in the west bank should be transferred into jordan. West Bank should become part of Israel. As for gaza though, I don't even see the strategic significance of such a small peice of land. Gaza should be closed off and completely cut off from Israel.

Reading this article and the responses to it... It is obvious that the arabs have completely alienated americans. Why is Europe still so obedient to them?

[ladyinred]

I am pretty sick of them myself.

He forgot option 6: Kill them all for the good of humanity.

Ping!

KTA sounds too much like FS (the final solution). I am fine with killing terrorists, but we cannot indiscriminately say that all must die. We lose the moral high ground then. Of course, we know that much of the Arab world is thinking "KTA" about the Jews, but we unlike those Arabs are civilized.

The fact of the matter is that Arafat and his allies have forced the us-or-them decision. They have dedicated their entire culture to the genocide of Israelis. There is nothing left in those people but the will to murder. Anyone with an ounce of sense has either fled, or is marked for death by Arafat and his goons.

This isn't a "Final Solution" nor is it to kill all Arabs. Many Arabs are fine, upstanding people, but they aren't part of the diseased "Palestinian" culture. These people are hardcore Islamonazis and they are our enemy too. It is by their choice, their pursuit of their jihad, that it will ultimately be forced upon us to annihilate them.

Their entire fight is predicated on their belief that we are too weak to do that. If we prove we will, if pushed to that end, then we may avoid having to kill the other 1.2 billion of them.

I am the last one in the world to want these things to be true. But I cannot deny the overwhelming evidence that it is so. This is a fight to the death, jihad vs. all comers. Radical Islam is like the Borg; it just keeps on coming and coming until you destroy it completely.

Interesting how poorest performing areas are often 'ruled' by someone. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's time to get rid of the rules and the ruler. Better than assigning successful indicators to any particular race, one might assign it to a willingness to be 'ruled', if such a trait could be found in DNA.

Lucky for us, we told a 'ruler' a couple of hundred years ago to shove-it and have prospered ever since. Unluckily, our present-day disposition to award more and more authority to the state over our lives while rejecting personal responsibility in exchange for security is, in a way, similar to those whose accomplishments leave something to be desired.

There's a lesson here somewhere and I'm not certain our own people understand it. Bring on the welfare recipients, bring on the bureaucrats, bring on the undocumented hordes, bring down educational standards, but above all, bring on the ruler.

Our soon-to-be ruler will be the state (if not already) guided by certain principles, of course. One of which will be that it becomes larger and more intrusive with each cycle. For a couple of examples, see Campaign Finance Reform and the censorship taking place in radio lately (JJ Voluntary Boob Act?). Take these two, mix in a little gun control, pour them (along with a little patriot act for spice) into a shot-glass, and you'll knock your average Minuteman or colonialist on his *ss.

Thanks for the "oldie but goodie" ping on this one, Slings and Arrows. Reading this from two years back leaves me incredulous the situation has remained almost static this long. What an absolutely infuriatingly frustrating political and social scenario.

We are in His Hands....

My pleasure, Salem. I have to admit that I didn't realize this was an oldie until after I pinged you, mostly because it could have been written yesterday.

This cannot endure.
