It is safe to say that the actions of the PA are strongly motivated by fear.

But one foreign correspondent told the Post that AP producers had been threatened by PA Cabinet Secretary Abdel Ahmed Rahman, who told them their safety couldn’t be guaranteed if they insisted on broadcasting the images.

Note to self: Add PA to list of known terrorist that our government must - Quash!

Thats fine. Show those bastards celebrating! You want peace in the Middlwe East? Tell Israel to exterminate all the Palestinians. There's your f*cking peace!

Go ahead and celebrate...

A Palestinian fires his rifle in celebration as children dance around him at Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp near the port city Sidon in south Lebanon September 11, 2001. Arab leaders voiced shock and horror at devastating attacks that leveled symbols of American power Tuesday, but a chorus of cheers rose from streets that resent U.S. backing of Israel.

This is an interesting photo. Someone posted it last night, and according to their information it actually dates back to the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Apparently CNN has been showing some old footage like this and claiming that it was taken yesterday.

There info is wrong...if you go to properties...you will see the source of this photo. It was taken on 911.

Please post your source for the story that CNN is showing old tapes and claiming they are from this week.

In 1991, Pallies would not dare display their automatic weapons in the open (if they had them) because all of West Bank was under Israeli military control. In the picture above you can clearly see an AK-47. Other footage of the Pallie festivities also had them fire various weapons into the air. Clearly, it could not have been captured in 1991.

Not any great suprise that AraFart & his crew are and always have been Terrorists. He lost all credibility & support whenever this happened. These jerks have been blowing up kids on buses and teenagers in Pizza Parlors for years, this isn't anything new. They definately need to be added to the list of Terrorists that need their asses kicked. All we have to do is give the Israeli's free reign & they will wipe out that problem in a couple days.

Actually, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was 1990, not 1991. So why would they have been celebrating in 1991?

We saw for ourselves the face of evil in the woman who was out dancing in the street uttering that hateful yodeling......we will not forget. Arafat could give his entire blood and none would be fooled.

The photo was not necessarily taken on 9/11. It may have been POSTED on 9/11.

Do a search on things like "Palestinian photos" and see if you can find a thread from about midnight last night PST. What prompted the discussion was the fact that the kid is wearing a Chicago Bears jersey, and nobody currently wears #33 for Chicago. This guy (or someone else) did some further research on these Palestinian photos and noted that there wasn't a single car in any of them that was newer than a late 1980s model.

Don't shoot the messenger!

When you think about it, I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough to give a kid an AK-47 and dance around on a crowded street with him on someone's shoulders.

No, no...I don't want to shoot the messenger...I just wanted to know the source of your CNN comment.

About the kid wearing the jersey.

One time, I saw a kid wearing a T-shirt from some Hawaiian resort. So I asked him, "Hey, did you get to go to Hawaii this summer?"

He replied, "No. My mother went to a garage sale."

Palestinians wearing outdate American clothes is not necessarily a sign of an old photo...it could be a sign that his mother shopped at a Relief Center where there are clothes that were donated by Americans.

Yahoo’s description of the picture gives pretty clear attribution for this photo (2nd one on the first link): A Palestinian fires his rifle in celebration as children dance around him at Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp near the port city Sidon in south Lebanon September 11, 2001. Arab leaders voiced shock and horror at devastating attacks that leveled symbols of American power Tuesday, but a chorus of cheers rose from streets that resent U.S. backing of Israel.

Are you suggesting that Reuters was collaborating with CNN? Are all these photos fakes?

Also, you will note several pictures of children with AK-47s on the second link.
