Why do you support Evil.

Last week, Israeli security forces announced the capture of a Fatah-affiliated teenager sent on a suicide mission meant to kill hundreds of people.
Officials said the target was a home for 180 orphans and homeless children in Jerusalem. They said the 17-year-old Palestinian from the Bethlehem area was sent with a suitcase filled with explosives to blow up the school.

The Hamas advocates Killing Jews, simply for being Jews

The Hamas advocates Killing Jews, simply for being Jews
IDF Spoksperson 24 November 2002

The Iz-Adin Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas, published
(23 November 2002) a bulletin on their official website, advocating the
murder of Jews simply for the fact of that they are Jews.

The bulletin was published to commemerate the anniversary of the death of
Imad Akal, a senior Hamas official, killed in the Gaza Strip on November 24,
1993. The bulletin quotes Akal as saying: "We will knock on the doors of
Heaven with the skulls of the Jews". The bulletin depicts an axe shattering
the word "Al-Yahud" (Jews) and splintering the skulls of Jews. The words
Al-Qassam are engraved on the axe.

(AgapePress) - A Palestinian terrorist has told USA Today that his orders to kill Israeli citizens come from Yasser Arafat.

The paper identifies the terrorist as 33-year-old Maslama Thabet. He says the group he leads, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, is an integral part of Fatah. Fatah, headed by Arafat himself, is the largest group in the Palestinian Authority. In the interview, Thabet says "we are the armed wing of the organization ... we receive our instructions from Fatah ... our commander is Yasser Arafat himself."

The newspaper notes that in a televised address last Saturday, as Palestinians launched suicide attacks in Netanya and Jerusalem, Arafat urged Palestinians to "sacrifice themselves as martyrs in jihad for Palestine."

The report in USA Today goes on to quote Palestinian Authority officials who say most members of the Brigade receive salaries from Arafat's Palestinian Authority. As an example, it says the leader of the Brigade in Nablus is a salaried officer in the Palestinian National Security Force, one of 14 armed police and security services that report to Arafat.

Thabet's admission would seem to confirm what conservative activist David Horowitz says about Arafat, that he is a "murderer and a terrorist." Horowitz says Yasser Arafat is not motivated by any desire to establish a Palestinian homeland, as widely reported in the media.

Horowitz, who is president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, says the Palestinian strongman is motivated by hate. "Yasser Arafat is a murderer and a terrorist," he says. "Arabs got 90% of the Palestine mandate, and Jordan is still a country which contains 80% of the land mass of the so-called ‘Palestine mandate.’ Something like 70% of the Jordanian population are Palestinian. They never want a state in Jordan because it’s not run by Jews. They’re Jew-haters, that’s what they are. They’re Christian haters."

Horowitz believes Secretary of State Colin Powell is "weak" when it comes to his dealings with Arafat. "I think Colin Powell is very bad on this issue, as he is on many issues; but, he’s a tremendous strength for the Republican Party being there," he says. "As long as Bush keeps his head on his shoulders and keeps him in check, I’m happy."

Horowitz believes Arafat should be on a top ten most-wanted list because he says the Palestinian terrorist was responsible for killing an American ambassador.

NOTHING to do with Christianity

Why do you mention Christianity in this article when it is not related?
This is an issue for Israelis and Palestinians. VIOLENCE by either side is WRONG, BUT this is nothing to do with Christianity. This is a Jewish-Palestinian issue. It is nothing to do with real CHRISTIANITY.

Palestine for everyone

Palestine is not just an issue for "the Left" - it is an important issue for Jews (netureikarta.org, jewsnotzionists, etc) and Christians (Christian should not adopt the af "nothing to do with us" attitude but go forth to help mankind - which includes people who are not Christians - either the deluded type or the self-righteous!!!)

Dans on the list of zionazi supporters, could anywith a digger/bulldozer pop round and knock his house down, terrorise his family and piss/shit in his well (drinking water), then he might start to understand why palestinians decide to blow themselves up as suicide bombers.
oh by the way Dan, left and right are two different ways of shafting the people. it's the two party system.
If you like it on the left part your cheeks using your left hand, those of the right, parting on the right and use the right hand.. twats like you like it so much they use both hands .. lets hope that perle is first in a long line of zionazi to go down the pan ....

A simple propaganda case, this one..

30.03.2003 10:07

Like so many other conflicts and controversial issues, the poster has polarised the issue; the ways it's presented, you either support the state of Israel or you support suicide bombings, at least that's the implication I see in so many arguements and questions like this. Just because someone supports the goal (in this case, ridding Palestine of oppression and occupation), it doesn't mean they support the methods employed by some. They may even consider those methods counter-productive.

The same goes for the war on Iraq issue. It is usually portrayed in such a way that you either support "the war against Saddam Hussein" or you support Saddam Hussein. People really think there are no alternatives. But, in fact, you can abhor Hussein's regime while not supporting war against Iraq (and that's the important distinction, the war is against *Iraq*, not *Hussein*).

Liberation

30.03.2003 17:43

Palestimians are fighting a war of liberation they did not want to be invaded by zionists. Nobody has the right to determine what measures are used by those living under occupation. Unless the occupiers are made to pay for their continued occupation they will never leave.

Also please do not forget it is the zionists that brought terrorism to the Middle East.

Are you blind?

I take it you have not read any reports of Israeli's "accidentally" running over Peace protestors with bulldozers? The driver would have to be incredibally incompetent to "accidentally" run someone over twice.
How about shooting children in the head for trying to get medical assistance for their families after Israeli tanks have smashed up their homes?

The war in Iraq and the war in Palestine are linked, especially now that the US has announced Jay Garner to be appointed ruler of Iraq. A man who has publically stated he is all for the killing of Palestinians.

One further point you may like to consider is that most of these stories of Palestinian attrocities you are reading come from the zionist controlled american media, people who would love to see every Palestinian killed off. So never mind Jews being killed just because they are Jews.
