Looks like the Devil Child. Creepy 'photo.

Think I'm going to be ill.

That child seems to be reacting quite appropriately to the evil she's so clearly sensing. Actually she just looks scared shitless staring at a crowd of demons.

I pity this child.

Everyone here who thinks Arab Muslims are sub-human savages needs to look at this baby and understand that they are indeed humans who are corrupted into debased savages by their society's culture, and the disgusting "values" of their parents.

Which I think is the greater crime. If they were born savages their behavior couldn't really be held against them. That poor little baby.

Sick, perverted and disgusting. Child abuse at its worst. This sick thug should be shot dead.

Bastard. Israel should have kept quiet about their plans and just offed him with a high-powered rifle from a quarter mile away. Express shock at his death, a blow to the palestinian people, let's all muster the courage to continue the peace process etc etc.

#5 Yup...I don't know why they had to telegraph it, just kill the fucktard

Seriously, why not jail him?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that child is a dissenter.

GAK! That is awful! What kinds of contamination has that baby been exposed to?

Look carefully at that picture of arafart, look at the colour of his skin, and his teeth! I think the man is in poor health.
MrPol you could be right.

"Even the youngest Palestinians feel the effects of the Israeli occupation."
/BBC photo caption

I cannot stomach that picture.

Y'know, Israel could expel all American diplomats, and strongly suggest that all American tourists leave for their own safety. Announce that the strained diplomatic relationship is due to the US continuing to fund terrorists in the West Bank and Gaza. Bush would be hosed unless he got his shit straight quick, fast and in a hurry.

He would not hesitate to use that child as a shield if attacked. The kid knows it too...

There are no words.

That child will have an explosives belt strapped to her waist and be used as a weapon against Israel in 15 years or so. By then she will be so completely indoctrinated into the sick culture of Jew-hatred and Islamo-supremacy she will have no clue as to the value of her own life or the lives of her victims. She will become completely, as Charles says so often, a "mindless kill-bot," a slave to a medieval cult that preaches hate and death.

All because that rotten evil man and his rotten evil masters and his rotten evil thugs of the rotten, evil, hateful, machine of destruction that is the Religion of Peace, cannot bear to part with 0.04% of the Arabian Peninsula, land that they never had a right to take and that they certainly don't have a right to live on now. Simply because Jews lived there before they did and want to live there again.

They truly are the Borg of Star Trek. Either we wipe them all out or they will kill all who resist them and assimilate the rest. I'm becoming more and more convinced of that grim future every day.

If Ariel Sharon did that, the UN Security Council would convene.

The poor kid is never going to live this down. How embarrasing to be not only groped by Arafat but to be dressed up in the colors of the Israeli flag at the same time. Sheesh, I thought that particular color combination (light blue, white) was big-time faux pas in the muqata.

Sad commentary about mankind that so many are in support of that fiendish demon. If this picture doesn't wake up the zombies, nothing will.

Well if they are going to go to Jerusalem in the millions, what if they arrive only to find their holy mosque blown up to smithereens?

Jewels, it was about time that Jews got blamed for Mexico's problems. Guess having a country that starts with Me... is part of their problem

Israel's thirty-five year occupation of Palestine enabled the Jewish state to perfect tactics that US troops will need in "house to house" combat in Baghdad

Maybe wholesale bombing of a city is the way to go?

I followed a link from one of the other threads to this very same picture. I was just waiting until it became another of the "Palestinian Child Abuse" items. Lord Almighty, if this doesn't fit that discription nothing does.

Child Sacrifice should be declare illegal by the UN.

Millions of martyrs?

Maybe the State Department can get Arafat to compromise, and settle for 500,000 dead Palestinians by the year 2010, in the spirit of the hallowed Roadmap to Peace.

I don't think Allah will allow it, though. He's drunk on the fragrant blood of martyrs, and will never get enough to suit him.

d-Ha! You da shit.

I think I'm going to vomit.

The Palestinians are OBSESSED with using babies because they know it is key to their success in getting sympathy.

#20 Teacake: Interesting. Do you think the Jews may be about to suffer a form of brand dilution/market saturation? There never seemed to be a limit in the past on how many peoples could blame their woes on the hook-nosed vampires, but in this age of digital dissemination, those limits could be tested soon.

But the world does depend on international patent and copyright more and more. Can't let just anyone put the Nike swoosh-TM on their stuff and keep the brand strong. Maybe the usurpers can make the most of the situation, and have the Israeli government start selling licenses to other nations and organizations before they'd be allowed to do any scapegoating.

Of course long-standing users like the Muslim nations and France should be granted some consideration, but fees would be basically agreed upon based on the severity and frequency of slander usage. The more populated the country, the richer it is, and the more woes they need distracted from, the pricier the license would be. Then, if the for the first time in history there are too many people who want to demonize the J-E-W-S, further licenses simply would not be granted. And hey, these guys are supposed to be able to haul in the coins, right?

you Convinced me / I'm not voting for the Arafat/Abu ticket

seriously what do you expect Pres. Bush to do? We have our boys in harms way. Were trying to get other countries to send troops. That means Europe or the Middle East. There aren't any other choices.

If America endorces Israelis assasination of Arafat slim chance turns to zero chance.
And in the mean time 150,000 of our troops are in the shooting gallery.

If you Israelis are waiting for a green light from Uncle Sam (and I hope you are) don't hold your breath.

Hows the fence construction going? Well I hope

Im certain that if Yes-sir Air-a-fart ever got on a bus he would need NO suicide belt. The overwhelming stench of halitosus and ass would kill everyone not able to instantly jump from the bus.

As for the kid... ever wonder why all NORMAL people hold children precious? Its because small children are the embodiment of possiblities. The limitless possibilities that await all people when they are young and thier life can go in ANY direction. The reason we cringe when we see these child abuse pics from the West Bank-Gaza is that the barbaric culture set up by Air-a-fart slams shut the door to every possible future for those children but one... the life of a hate filled, un-educated, zombie like living bomb.

There is a special hot tub in hell for people who commit this kind of evil.

We musn't impose our cultural values on the Palestinians. That way leads to hate.

Instead, I feel we should try to understand the context in which they act in ways we don't agree with.

We can choose the way of compassion, understanding and love, or we can sink to the level of the very people we claim superiority over.

Reject hate

Palestinian TV has been going completely OTT with stirring "Abu Amar" music videos. Kinda reminds me of the Saddam video fest we had on Iraqi TV just before the signal went out for good. They've also had another of the interminable "phone-in-and-rant" shows so beloved by Arabic TV. The presenter sits in the studio going "Na'am, na'am, na'am" while the caller seethes, rants, screams, hollers and bellows. I sure wish I had the Strepsils Sore Throat Pastil concession for the Middle East. Only callers supporting the world'd oldest terrorist are allowed, though. Other opinions are quickly cut off by another Arafat Music video (and yes, they are as grim as they sound.)

#49 Ima Dhimmi

Are you serious? They are stealing liberty from the lives of their own children, and additionally, using that to kill lives of those they hate.

Murder is murder. I am not expected to tolerate it. They would not tolerate me.

I "understand" the way they think and it is dangerous for everyone. Let's pretend I don't understand them, but in the future I will. When I do finally understand them, where will it go from here? Are they going to understand everyone else in return? Why aren't you asking them to understand the civilized world's concerns?
Abiding and negotiating has not worked with them. What are you asking for from the Israelis? Surrender?

..
P.S. I know you were being sarcastic.

Depraved, disgusting motherfucker.

Excuse me while I go and puke.

Dam Paul

the way you describe TVArafat no wonder they have suicide volunteers.

If you Israelis are waiting for a green light from Uncle Sam (and I hope you are) don't hold your breath.

Papertiger-

How do we know that Israel doesn't have a green light? Sharon has been incredibly restrained for the last two years. He's earned enough pr victories to be allowed some leeway, seems to me. Whether they put a bullet through Arafish's alcoholic-looking red face or exile him to G_d-forsaken France, I'm sure Israel has earned the US's trust in this gruesome pr war with these terrorists.

The face of pure evil.

The only way to stop this death cult fantasy, and believe me from a conversation I had with a would be jihadi in Wood Green London, its taking off everywhere "we embrace death and are not afraid of it"....is to liquidate the proponents of it - the palestinian leadership and various Imams around the world. Israel (or a renegade group of people - whatever happened to the Shalhevet Pass Brigades??) needs to bomb the next Hamas funeral and then the subsequent funerals. That will be the end of Hamas. Just warn them that if they take part they get their wish.....Its no good killing the head as they are trying to do FINALLY now. You have to make it so painful for the supporters etc that their family begs them not to have anything to do with Hamas or any other radical islamic group. I have heard enough anti-Israel propaganda that makes it seem as if Israel is already doing this so they might as well. Israel needs to adopt Michael Stone tactics - terrorise the mourners. The IRA only came to the negotiating table once the Loyalists had outkilled the IRA in the 1990s. The catholic community then demanded an IRA cease-fire. Same needs to be done here. The only way to fight terror with a group who are not political (ie communists) is by terror of that groups supporters until they see sense. Terrorism fought by a minority group has never been defeated and the only way to make the otherside see sense is to do same and make it more painful.

Israel should bomb the fuck out of the Bekaa valley ala Dresden, the minute a rocket lands in Israel. As far as the broader west. If the peoples of the middle east and mostly their leaders continue to adopt terrorism as policy we need to make it very painful for them - ala Gaddafi. They need to know it won't be a one way street.

AH (7):

Jail him? And make him this genaration's Mandela? (If he isn't already)

Arafat is alive and Johnny Cash is dead. There, proof positive the world is not fair.

Jews to employ "poisonous rays towards Arafat's brain".

Now that's gonna be some precision work!

I often wonder why his hands are so damn white.
Is there something wrong with him? I mean does he have some type of condition?

They should shoot Peres too.

Speaking at the same Brookings luncheon, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres faulted the Israeli government as not having "kept its promise" on halting settlement activity.

Now temporary head of the opposition Labor party, Peres said Israel should not act "out of anger," even if it was justified. "While we have to fight terror we must be careful not to escalate the situation," he said.

Peres urged the government to deal with the new Palestinian prime minister, Ahmed Queria. "He understands terror and peace do not work together, and he prefers peace," the 80-year-old elder statesman said.

At the same time, Peres, who shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Arafat for peacemaking a decade ago, said he was against expulsion even though Arafat was "a problem."

He warned that expelling Arafat would be a "historic mistake" that would "deepen the hostilities between the Palestinians and ourselves" and told CNN, "Arafat outside will be more effective and more negative than he is today."

"Occasionally you have to live with problems without solving them," Peres said.

Yeah, what's a few hundred dead Israelis. @$@*�%@% bastard. Him and Mandela are both old men who should just shut up.

Bwahahahahaha!

Smiley face, I wonder about the same thing. What's with those hands of his? Did you see the teeth? Eewwww.

Steve Hall (#59)

Great link, hilarious. The paranoia is kicking in big time.

Palestinians have thrown a tight security cordon around President Yasser Arafat fearing his assassination by unconventional means that could be construed as "a natural death", highly informed sources told Gulf News yesterday.

They're preparing the Big Lie early. Even if Arafat (G-d Forbid!) lived to be 1,000, it would still be the evil Zionists fault when he expired. But I really love the "highly informed sources". LOL! That's beautiful. I would love to see a Cox & Forkum cartoon of our Lizard Master toting one of them ray guns.

Maybe it will transform him into the Great Green Gaza Golem.

Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz has revealed to his inner circle that the expulsion of President Arafat is the least the Israeli political leadership can approve, and that they should not rule out physical liquidation.

These guys are good. LOL!

Steve Hall:

LOL!!

What does Colin PLOwell see in him, anyway?

The new security steps include searching and clo-se monitoring of all Arafat's visitors. The sources said that one speculated method of assassination could be the direction of poisonous rays towards Arafat's brain.

These rays can cause palpitations in the heart leading to a failure of brain resulting in gradual stop in breathing and ultimate death

"It is only curable by a specific antidote as in the bungled assassination of Khaled Mashal the head of Hamas political bureau in Jordan several years ago," the sources said.

Does it get any better than this?

The maturity of these comments is overwhelming. Have you guys considered forming an organization? You could spend all your time writing racist, meaningless remarks (mostly focusing on physical appearances of political leaders) and avoid ever developing a deep historical analysis of this conflict. Oh wait you already do.

It is so terribly sad to see out of the 66 comments only one (#49) displayed any intelligence and compassion. Unfortunately in a website in which only children rant and rave, this comment is too easily lost amongst the endless hate.

To Jerusalem we are going as martyrs in the millions”

How many "Palestinians" are there, anyway? I don't mean the "militants" but the "non-combatants" and the "peaceful" folk that live there too.

Definitely. We need to make more of an effort to empathize with this sadly misunderstood society.
The only way we will have peace is to cooperate with this Arab culture and their goal or making martyrs of young children.

I propose that we throw out all of our baby car seats and forbid our children to wear seat belts. Then we will appreciate the cultural values of these particular Arabs and their true love for their children.

After all, what could show greater love for your children than wanting them dead?

As far as I know Palestine is occupied by Israelis, not Arabs.

Secondly, if you are to ever visit Palestine (as I have) you will quickly learn that the general population are not radical fundamentalists but human beings, with basic needs like the rest of the world: food, water, shelter, and most importantly peace. They are not bloodthirsty monsters as you so eloquently depict, but very poor human beings.

Just as I do not generalize Israelis by their fundamentalist militaristic government, I do not generalize Palestinians by the various radical groups which carry out atrocious attacks. Once one you are able to look beyond what the media portrays, then you will see the humanity that is on both sides, hindered by corrupt, self-serving politicians and generals. Then none of this will be funny. Not one single bit.

Israel has a fundamentalist militaristic government?

Damn, who knew? Last I checked, even Ariel Sharon is secular, just like most of Israel's population.

Secondly, if you are to ever visit Palestine (as I have) you will quickly learn

Yeh, that's not patronizing. Did you visit any of the parts of Palestine that are now occcupied by Jordan? Y'know, the country that sits on the bulk of Palestine.

#98 Damon:

The problem is that Eretz Israel is occupied by Palestinians, and "Eretz" Palestine is occupied by Israelis. For this reason, I think that only one solution will ultimately work, the One state solution.

[Link: www.iht.com...]

damon,
I will assume (probably wrongly) that you are not trolling.
You said of Crusade Now:

And how about your bi-polar world, in which there are Arabs and Non-Arabs?

Not true. He mentioned muslims and infidels. Which is the muslim worldview, that he was requesting your response to. I've read plenty of his/her posts. Not a racist. Just someone who cares about winning this war.
You said of yourself:

I am not asking that this become a history class. However I cannot avoid but to believe that the majority of the visitors of this website see this whole situation as a source of entertainment. Making fun of teeth, talking about putting people in blenders, and so and so. I find that quite disgusting and representative of how distant and disconnected we are from the reality of the human existence.

Well, just so you know, ignoring Charles' informativeness and linky goodness for the moment, the comments on this site are much more a history resource than any damn history class you can name. Unless Victor David Hanson is teaching.
We sit here and talk about death all day. What's wrong with some gallows humor? I think that's part of why we come here. Not many other places is the war being waged on and by our entire civilization taken as seriously as it is here, or sent up so hilariously. That's the style. BTW for most of the posters it's between 2 and 6 am (US time). There really isn't much to discuss, no new postings by Charles at these hours. G-d forbid there should be a terror attack, we will learn of it here in the comments before CNN or anyone else gets ahold of it. What do you want us to do? Most of us are drunk right now, I'll wager. Plus we've been waiting for bad news to happen to the Arafish all day. It didn't. Well damn, can we at least make fun of the murderous swine? (Sorry pigs, I know it hurts. You're noble animals.) Especially given this sort of opportunity? C'mon now!
You find it representative of how distant and disconnected we have become from the human experience. As I pointed out, we're more plugged in to the news, and more viscerally aware of every twist, every turn in this too-damn-long War on Terror, than the vast majority of the populace, kay? The people who are disconnected and distant are Berkeley's City Council, who just passed the resolution to urge Congress to investigate that terrorist rabble rouser Rachel Corrie's death. The people who are disconnected and distant are the indymedia drones. The Democratic candidates for the Presidential nomination. The Arab media that we lampoon here so ferociously. I'll stop listing people and simplify it: the people who are disconnected and distant are everybody but us.
To Crusade Now again, you said,

However I would like to provide my objective criticism, if that is welcome.

And you know what? It is welcome. Honest, it really is, if it is well intentioned. But you know what? We aren't trying to collectively create some unbiased news and analysis source here. Nobody is objective. We have all felt loss in one way or another and feel pretty strongly about things. Try having a conversation with us and you might enjoy yourself. Just wandering in here, apparently not knowing anything about us or the culture of the place and just looking to criticize is rather "ugly tourist" of you isn't it?
Stick around, you sound smart if possibly a little full of "objective criticism" if you know what I mean. We might enjoy what you have to say. If you contribute.
Most of us that you've read in this thread, probably thinking "worthless crap who are these people" are actually really interesting contributors. I won't name names but probably everyone who disgusted you. The humor gets us through the day (or night). You shouldn't base your impression, and putative criticism, entirely on that.
Thanks for reading.

Fundamentalism no longer only applies to religion. In the context I used it I was refering to his right-wing, conservative fundamentalism.

#98
Oh yes I have hard of the one-state solution. It does indeed sound very interesting and I sympathize with it. However do you think it's very practical? It is something that both sides should work towards in the long-run, through humanistic projects such as Seeds for Peace. But for now even I (a self-proclaimed idealist) believe a two-state solution is more viable.

#59 Steve Hall

Arafat has a brain? Did they perform a colonoscopy to locate it?

Wonder if he's going to ask Louis Farrakhan to lead the Million Martyr March.

I meant Victor Davis Hanson. Not David. D'oh.

See damon? It looks like you've started having some conversations. Good on ya bro.
It just so happens that I disagree with your premises as well as your conclusions so far, but I'm sure you'll get educated fast if you hang around here long enough! I've typed up quite a spell and need to rest the digits for a minute. So I'll refrain from jumping in. But believe me, although your intentions appear noble and you really seem concerned with the humanity of the Palestinians and a just solution for both sides, you're going to be disabused of some illusions real quick if you stick around. You'll keep the idealism but I think some realism will get folded into the omelette.
I'm a Palestinian ethnically, btw. Just so ya know. I wish the Palestinians the very best. But rewarding their terrorism with a state is not good policy. Heck, I started replying. My brain is writing checks that my aching fingers can't cash. I'll leave it to the rest of you guys.
d-LOL! It IS all my fault! I always suspected as much.

[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]

An interesting, and maddening, revisitation of the past. So many lies. So many of our brothers and sisters have been murdered, but that's not the worst part. The worst is having to defend the truth incessantly against an endless stream of lies, coming, it seems, from every direction. From the Europeans, from the United Nations, at times from America, always from the Arab world.

The Palestinians are winning this war not because they put up a better fight, or because their cause is just, or because they have good PR. They're winning because the international community wants so badly to believe in their cause and so badly to oppose ours. So many lies have been told, and told, and told again. The world stands by and watches us die, but says nothing, maybe even secretly rejoices, knowing how incredibly frustrating and exhausting it all must be for us. So much wasted energy to defend Israel, not just against suicide bombings and mortars and shooting attacks, but from the onslaught of lies on the BBC and CNN and the New York Times. So many charts, and graphs, and articles, and editorials, all speaking out against the lies, all the while knowing that most of what we do can't ever change anyone's opinion. Lies about the root of the conflict, about the numbers of casualties, about the destruction of homes, about the true intent of the 'militant' groups, about the true nature of Israeli society. So many lies. So much disinformation.

In 50 years, when the world's myopia has led to Israel's destruction and the spread of militant Islam has to the shores of Europe and America, I don't think it will make me happy to say 'I told you so.'

So read this article, and think back to last April, when everyone on the street couldn't stop talking about the 'massacre of Jenin'. Someone call Saeb Erekat and ask him where his fucking massacre is?

*****

A British forensic expert who has gained access to the West Bank city of Jenin says evidence points to a massacre by Israeli forces. Prof Derrick Pounder, who is part of an Amnesty International team granted access to Jenin, said he has seen bodies lying in the streets and received eyewitness accounts of civilian deaths.

The Dundee University expert said the Amnesty investigation has only just begun but Palestinian claims of a massacre were gaining foundation as the team continued its analysis.

He said: "The truth will come out, as it has come out in Bosnia and Kosovo, as it has in other places where we've had these kinds of allegations.

"I must say that the evidence before us at the moment doesn't lead us to believe that the allegations are anything other than truthful and that therefore there are large numbers of civilian dead underneath these bulldozed and bombed ruins that we see."

The professor said recovering the bodies would be difficult because many buildings collapsed during bombardment.

He said: "We know there are families who were there and killed and buried.

"We were on the ruins yesterday and two elderly men came forward, each of them pointed to where their houses had been and one of them told us that 10 members of his family were buried under the rubble."

He said post mortems on two bodies had "given cause for suspicion" and there was "extensive damage" to Jenin.

An area of the town the size of several football pitches has been flattened.

Prof Pounder was speaking as Israeli forces began to pull out of Jenin and the town of Nablus.

A United Nations special envoy described the the devastation as "horrific beyond belief".

Terje Roed-Larsen, who visited the Jenin refugee camp on Thursday, criticised Israel for not allowing rescue teams in after the battle with Palestinian gunmen.

Israeli officials reversed a ban on the Amnesty team entering the Jenin refugee camp and government hospital on Wednesday.

Amnesty had considered legal action against the Israeli Government over the ban.

Israeli forces moved into the Jenin camp on 3 April, saying it was a hotbed of Palestinian militancy and declaring it a closed military zone.

Zalmon Shoval, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, defended Israel's actions, saying it was fighting for its life.

"Mr Larsen has no business whatsoever to tell us what is right or wrong," he told the BBC.

Palestinians claim hundreds of bodies are buried beneath the rubble, but Mr Shoval said only about 65 bodies had been recovered, of which five were civilians.

Funny and games at a pro-Arafat rally:

Palestinians burn a U.S. flag during a demonstration in support of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) after Friday prayers in the West Bank city of Hebron on September 12, 2003. Israel faced an international outcry on Friday over its decision to 'remove' Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, a threat that drew tens of thousands of supporters into the streets to rally to his defense.

I'm a historian specializing in modern middle east history.

May I suggest Fregosi's "Jihad and the West" which explains Islam's wars of extermination against Western civilization.

It's an absolutely astonishing story, and one completely removed from politically correct history.

Did you know that Saracens (Islamic slavers) occupied St. Tropez in southern France for a hundred years? That they pillaged Rome? That the Egyptian government took 30,000 Greek slaves in 1830?

There's a whole lot more...

Evariste:

Wow. Youre Palestinian, eh?

You sound like a v. intelligent and eloquent fellow. How do you envision an eventual solution to the Israel/Palestine situation?

Thx.

nhop-Oh no, not that question! LOL
I need to dig up the comments where I've written that up and save the links so I can just point people at them.
My fingers aren't such hot stuff right now, as I said. So I have to demur for the moment.
There's no easy solution, obviously. Unfortunately.

Thanks for enlightening us on your new definition of "fundamentalism."

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,
“it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

By your new definition, how would you define the P.A. (and keep in mind that the president of the PA was a terrorist for decades, and arguably still is, and is seen above hoisting a crying child above his head, shortly after ranting about martyrs in the millions)?

Thank you for your post evariste.

I won't respond to every point you made because it's late here also and I need to get to work tommorow...but in general:

What I do observe is that undeniably the owner of the website makes a point to choose only select portions of the media which all fit perfectly with his own rather extreme right-wing views. The problem with this approach to news is that you will narrow your perspective and fail to see the wide, open truth that is out there. If I was to have been brought up using this website as a major source of information, I would undeniably find myself spouting these same (what I consider uninformed and immature) remarks as the majority of posters here do.

When trying to find the truth...I always believe that you should be open to all perspectives (for example I have read through quite a bit of this website despite the fact that most of the information revoluts me, but I have tried to understand where the general viewer is coming from). Really the truth is that this site promotes a narrow, fragmented perspective of the situation and as a result, no matter how keenly aware the viewers are, how much they read through all these articles in the middle of the night, they will see the situation not in its entirety which is absolutely necessary to see the truth.

I have been to Israel. I have been to Palestine. I am not a Jew. I am not an Arab. And I am proud to say I do not hope the Palestinians win this war and I do not hope the Israelis win this war. What I hope is that the humanity behind these labels can win this war. Once we are able to see that there is no such thing as a Jew or an Arab, but only humans, then hopefully we will be elevated to a new level of understanding, one in which we are not so distant and disconnected from what could be a harmonious whole -- humanity.

Excuse me for my melodramatic post...I just hope you guys can take into consideration where I am coming from. How can you criticize Arab propaganda when this site is so full of propaganda itself? It's very hypocritical.

On a final note, I must tell you I was very offended by your comment about Rachel Corrie, someone who I consider to be a perfect example of humanism. I cannot being to imagine what can lead you to call this compassionate girl a "terrorist rabble rouser", but I do ask you to consider what intentions a typical, young American girl has going to a warn-torn country and standing in front of a tank to prevent a bulldozing of a house. She is not Muslim, surely you do not believe that. So even if (and I'm saying this for the sake of argument) she was supporting terrorists, do you think that was her intention? It is not even a possibility. She just wanted to help desperate people. And now she has been bulldozed to the ground. Have a little respect.

Peace,
Damon

*Runs for cover as the examples of Rachel Corrie's true behavior come to light*

[Link: www.indybay.org...]

Scroll down and take a look at the *true* face of Rachel Corrie, the 'humanist'. I wouldn't take that home to meet my mother. She never would have stood on a bus to stop a suicide bombing and protect a Jew. I could NOT care less that she was killed.

On a final note, I must tell you I was very offended by your comment about Rachel Corrie, someone who I consider to be a perfect example of humanism.

And you're lecturing us about propaganda? She was a terrorist-sympathizer. Be offended. I'm far more offended by what she stood for.

Have a little respect.

You have a little respect, for the mothers and babies that were vaporized by evil terrorists, the same terrorists that Rachel Corrie was offering aide and comfort to. Do you know anything at all about ISM, the organization that Rachel Corrie belonged to?

Take your blinkers off.

Don't miss these:

Corrie Propaganda Continues

Corrie Propaganda Motherlode

Let me know if you'd like further information. There's plenty more where that came from.

It IS kind of pointless to poke fun at Arafat for being ugly. Where does that leave us when they pick someone debonair as his successor (as perhaps the execrable Edward Said)?

Far more useful for Israel to plant credible rumors that there are indeed death rays, exploding computer mice etc directed at Arafat and zeroed in on him by his purported allies, including Rantisi, Yassin et al. (actually in the pay of the Mossad)
Should be child's play to fake this kind of stuff, then watch them tear each other apart like the pack of mad dogs they are.

Three 'ready-to-use' explosive belts discovered in E. Jerusalem

Security forces thwarted three suicide bomb attacks on Israelis after finding three 'ready-to-use' explosive belts hidden inside a washing machine in a butcher's shop in the East Jerusalem village of Al Azzariya north-east of Bethlehem.

Border Police sappers blew up the belts that contained 20 to 30 kilograms of explosives, nails and metal balls.

********************

Reports indicate that the belts belonged to Hamas terrorists who were planning a suicide attack in the capital in the near future.

#113 - damon

the owner of the website makes a point to choose only select portions of the media which all fit perfectly with his own rather extreme right-wing views.

The links provided on LGF come from all over the political spectrum, including the Guardian and the BBC in the UK, and the Arab News and the Gulf News in Arabia, which can hardly be described as "extreme right-wing."

#86 Damon - Its not my bi-polar view of the world as arab and non-arab but theirs. That is part of the arab mind. That is why arabs outside Iraq described the tyrant Saddam Hussein as "better than the best british and american". When asked why they supported him they replied "because he is an arab". I find arab music and cuisine nice. You talk about Palestine and Arabs - I don't believe that there's any real difference in a Palestinian and a Lebanese or Egyptian - they are all t same. The diferences between a Cornishman and a Welshman would be greater. Read my posts get an insight into the Cornish mind :0)

I especially love the part about Charles' right-wing fundamentalism. It was hard for me to ignore it, I guess, but Damon has helped me to see the light.

It looks like Gordon reproduced a lot in the last few days. I wonder who's the mom? WFI?

#61, zulubaby:

They should shoot Peres too.

I'm a bit shocked, zulubaby... that kind of rhetoric is "not helpful" to the "peace process."

But I understand the "root causes" of your frustration.

I think Peres should succeed Abu ThisWeek as the new "Palestinian" "prime minister". He's worked with Arafat before, and has really advanced the "Palestinian national aspiration".

For now, it's premature to joke about someone completing the Oslo trifecta.

At least wait until the establishment of a "free, democratic Palestinian state" in accordance with the "roadmap."

Damon,

Unfortunately you've bought into the "conventional wisdom" about the ME conflict. It's not your fault, you've been bombarded with sublte propaganda for years (much as you feel posters here have been influenced) by folks who have somehow turned things upside down.

Just as an example, Corrie and her ISM associates have helped terrorists bypass Israeli checkpoints; have hidden armed terrorists in their offices. Corrie was defending bushes that hid weapons smugglers' tunnels when she was accidentally killed by a pile of dirt pushed by an Israeli bulldozer trying to prevent those weapons from finding the hands of terrorists.

This site is an antidote to the conventional wisdom; as such it is not required to re-spout the propaganda of the PC left.

BTW, for a terrific opposing read on the situation, try Alan Dershowitz's The Case For Israel.

Jim

I have a better idea...let the Israelis scoop Arafat's sorry ass outa there, then give him to US...where we have a nice cozy cell waiting for him at Camp X-Ray at Gitmo. Then we can throw away the key and the world will never hear from him again.

See, South Africa forgot to throw away Mandela's key....

Typical of Arafish and his ilk. Holding up soneone else's child as a shield while his own daughter is safe in Frogland.

Kidnap Arafat, bring him to Boston and put him in Fr. Geoghan's old cell...

#118 - Zulubaby: that story was buried at the end of this disgraceful yahoo news report:

[Link: story.news.yahoo.com...]

wherein it notes they were found in "occupied and annexed east Jerusalem."

Q: How can it be both occupied and annexed?
Of course, the "scare quotes" are inserted to diminish the overall point, - the world is silent as Jews are blown up and killed, yet it rallies around the degenerate murderer Arafat.

There is reason for hope.

The Israeli gov't has rebuffed the UNSC and all of the foreign ministers who have called expressing their "concern" about the fate of the only man who can rival Osama bin Laden at mass murder.

From the JPost:

Israel has rejected the Security Council warning against the expulsion of Yasser Arafat. Diplomatic sources said that, "with all due respect to the institution of the UN, Israel will not give up its right to self defense." The official added that Arafat was a "master terrorist," according to Ynet. Another official in Jerusalem said that the international community showed "hypocrisy" in its stance favoring Arafat, while in the meantime "Israeli women and children continue to die in terrorist acts."

My apologies to those who feel my posts here consist of "bitching." I have watched Arabs kill Jews just to kill Jews for decades. I believe the parallels between the current world situation and the early days of Nazi Germany are unmistakable.

In fact, I am still distressed that Israel does not have the basic public relations skills to put the entire world to shame for its "concern" for this mass murderer while Israeli citizens are blown to bits or maimed for life as they commute to and from school and work. But some are trying...

Education Minister Limor Livnat said that despite the U.S. objections, Arafat - whom she compared to Saddam Hussein, Sheik Ahmed Yassin and Osama bin Laden - was no longer immune. "Israel is an independent and sovereign state and though it has a close and friendly important relationship with America, it doesn't take orders from America," Livnat said Friday.

and more hopeful words:

And Israel also stated its opposition to any future cease-fires. "The government of Israel rejects any idea of a cease-fire as the way to handle terrorism. Terrorism will cease only after the dismantlement and destruction of the terrorist organizations. This is the duty of the Palestinian Authority [which] will be judged only by its actions and not its declarations...."

The communique also refers briefly to the security fence. "The Cabinet also decided that the construction of the security fence [between Israel and the West Bank] will be accelerated," it stated.

#91 Damon

The sooner you stop supporting the said media maybe the sooner the facts will out.
Read this article by Larry Miller. The facts are towards the end of the article.

"It Gets Hard When THey Cheer"

Obviously all the media you have access to have a "Hidden Agenda" (Ha). Yes after a bit ha ha ha hurts so much it is not funny.
Fascist is a lovely word to throw around and was used against Peres, Barak and anybody associated with Israel for many years now. Trying to find some Moral similarity btween the two mentalities is odious!

Why don't the Israelis just build "A Wall" around the Muqata?
Isolating him that way is just as good as a prison cell.

Surprised no one has brought up the obvious analogy. Michael Jackson did something like this and was roundly (and rightly) criticized for being out of his head, endangering a child, and someone who used children to advance his own fame and glory.

But, when a Hero of the Left does this, the sycophants and apologists ignore it or give it a pass.

If I ever decide to become a child abuser, remind me to become a renowned leftist first, so people will stick up for me no matter what I do.

Truth to Zionism is like kryptonite to Superman.

In this case, true, because what you call "truth" is like kryptonite: an imaginary plot contrivance with no counterpart in the real world, for use against an imaginary all-powerful being (zionism). In this sense, your statement is correct.

#100 nhop

Good grief! Do you know who the writer is?

Interesting that Busharon in this thread (#136) and "zioo" in the Rutgers thread posted almost the exact same thing. Actual composition much be too much for the trolls. Cut and paste is more their speed.

Reports indicate that the belts belonged to Hamas terrorists who were planning a suicide attack in the capital in the near future.

Well---duh.

I think that now that these devices have been found, they should be returned to their rightful owner. Put them in a box. Ship them to a certain office in Ramallah.

And detonate remotely.

To Jerusalem we are going as martyrs in the millions

Well, as long as no Jews are killed in the process, it's perfectly OK by me.

#125 Mr. Pol -

Think of Gordon as the "political wing" of that organization.

Maybe Iraeli govt is using the expulsion issue of Arafat,as a feint so they could do something else.
Focus in on other areas while pals and news is looking that away.They need to jam his tv and cell phones.
Also, I agree with the post on stopping/retarding/breaking up the funerals.How a bout one of those super scooper fire-fighting planes and dump water on them,to cool it down.

#59

That is simply priceless.

Unfortunately, I think the Arab world is setting itself up to blame Israel when Arafat dies, whether it's by natural causes or not.

That poor child.

I thought I heard the IDF has the high ground around the excrements office. They should have a sniper ready for the possibility of a clear shot. I assume they have a defense prepared for a few thousand enraged wanna-be shaheeds when they off the creep.

On a lighter note, they could play a game like that bop the gopher game with the fart. Have a helicopter on standby, and every time Afart comes outside, have it get close and loud and scatter everybody and chase Afart inside. Maybe the old fart has an aortic dissection like John Ritter did, and the elevated blood pressure will set it off.

I know it may not be mature to comment on his looks, but Charle's Arafish does not do his nastiness justice. Back in New York we used to catch a trash fish from time to time in the Great South Bay we called a "hacklehead".

I like the carefully documented breakdown and percentages of Palistains killed by Sharon. Almost looks like someone was trying to be scientific.

What country is .sk ?

BTW, on the Non-Muslim link, it tells me Islam is my birthright. Wha-Hoooo!!

Web site blames the camp murders outside Beirut on Sharon. Last time I heard, it was Arab Christians, who had been targeted by Lebanese Muslims and there PLO allies for ethnic cleansing who carried out the vicious revenge killings.

Unless Sharon is secretly a Christian Arab.

.sk is Slovakia, I reckon.

And this is the person who posted the alleged Sharon quote.

Makes for scary reading.

Armag

You really deserve a nice Joodeo-Christain insult:

I heard there is no Christmas
In the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus
They have different religious beliefs

They believe in Muhammad
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and say...

"Hey there Mr. Muslim
Merry fucking Christmas
Put down that book the Koran
And hear some holiday wishes.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday.
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and fucking celebrate.

#159 AG

I LOVE South Park.

That song deserves a Grammy.

In addition to watching Arabs mass murder Jewish women and children for four decades, I've also listened to them lie for four decades.

Was anyone surprised by Comical Ali? I certainly wasn't. When Israel kicked the Arab cowards' butts in 1967, they claimed the US and Britain attacked them. Then they declared victory.

What does SWT mean sometimes after Allan's name in Jihadi John's web-site.

It can't mean South West Texas State University, as they changed their name to Texas State University-San Marcos. ( TSU-SM)

On Yahoo that bogus quote comes up on scores of nazi and arab sites. (Charles very wisely deleted it.) But I can find no other reference anywhere for that supposed "General".

Pakistan has reacted harshly to recent reports of Indo-Israeli defence cooperation according to which a number of new agreements for the sale and purchase of weapons technology and increased security cooperation between the two nations was pledged.

..."These sale and purchase agreements will create imbalance of power in the region," said Minister for Information and Broadcasting Sheikh Rashid Ahmed. Ahmed told reporters that the Indo-Israel relationship was aimed "not only against Pakistan but also against Kashmir and Palestine."

Good point about the term "Palestinian". Unfortunately for them, that calls attention to the fact that "Palestine" was occupied by the Egyptians and Jordanians between 1949 and 1967...

Mr. Pol -

Actually it should have been Philistines Filistinans.

:)

For those of you who are not familiar with Arabic, and are left wondering what the heck Mr. Pol and I are blabbering about, there is no "p" sound in the Arabic language.

Foreign words with that sound are either pronounced like a "b" or an "f".

The actual Arab word for "Palestine" is "Filistina", which actually comes much closer to "Philistine" than the Latin word "Palestina".

But if an Arabic speaker is trying to say the English word "Palestine", he may tend to say "Balestine" instead.

#192 Frank IBC

AFAIK the Balestinians have no relationship whatsoever with the Filistines.

#193 Frank IBC

Yep. More proof that Balestine is Arabic: they can't even pronounce it.

Well, starting to look like no National Championship for UT this year. Unless they put the Freshman in second half, maybe.

IMHO, when some troll like Armhair posts something so obviously incorrect, like the claim that not only does Sharon like to burn Paleo's alive and rape their woman but would be stupid enough to admit it, that features a reference to Paleo's ten years before people were even calling them that, the idiocy, and the resulting slams against the stupidity, should be left up.

Kind of like a Monster Truck smashing through Indy Media Yugos.

CaMr. Pol -

The biblical Philistines were most likely from Crete, or possibly Mycenae or Cyprus.

Interestingly, my male line of descent supposedly comes from the same place - several Irish clans, including my own, claim descent from Miletus, a mythical figure from the same time as King Minos.

Balestinians and the Filistinans

Hey, let's start a civil war between them!
:)

Arafat is not the problem, Islam is.

Expelling Arafat will make him a World Saint, a second Nelson Mandela.

Arafat will be replaced by someone (like Abu 'Ala) who appears more moderate, but shares the same goal of destroying Israel. For this reason, killing Arafat is not a good idea either.

If and when Arafat croaks, the Israelis will be blamed for his death, which is a reason for killing the skunk.

Except that he may be the best Palestinian leader that Israel can hope for. As I see it, the best option for Israel is to keep Arafat in his Muqat'aa compound in Ramallah, and wish him long life. To explain my logic, consider the case of Yussuf Nasser, Arafat's Interior Minister, who in the recent Cabinet Meeting criticized Arafat as follows: "there were many national movements, and all of them succeeded to get independence, except ours". Arafat spat in Nasser's face.

Nasser is right that the Palestinians, under Arafat, will continue to fail. Arafat thus buys more time for the Israelis, and I hope they use it wisely.
