Northern blaze delights many in the Arab world (Israel)
inn ^ | KHALED ABU TOAMEH

Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze, according to Arab media outlets.

Many in the Arab world seem to be happy with the big fire that has been raging in northern Israel over the past few days.

Judging from comments on the blaze from readers in several leading Arab media outlets and websites, a majority believe that God is “punishing” Israel for occupying Arab lands and killing Palestinians, especially during Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.

Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze.

Others called on Israel’s enemies, particularly Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah, to seize the opportunity and try to wipe Israel off the face of earth. Only a few readers and viewers expressed sympathy with Israel over the tragedy and loss of many lives.

Following is a sample of the comments that have appeared over the past few days in the Arab media:

“May Allah punish all Arabs who helped put down the fire.

People living on the NJ side of the river when WTC was attacked on 9/11 stood on the street cheering.

We are quite used to the inhumanity of the arab world.

Obadiah

10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

12But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

13Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

14Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

Yeah, delights them and gives them ideas. Living in SoCal, ever since 9/11/01 I’ve been expecting the Islamofacists to get smart about the kinds of attacks they use. I mean, why waste a good jihadi to suicide missions when they could get way more bang for their buck this way.

Somebody help me out here. Isn’t Indonesia a Muslim country? And don’t they keep getting hit with tsunamis and volcanoes and so forth? Does it follow that God is punishing them? Or does that conclusion follow only when Israel is the issue?

living over here in Ohio, I always figured that the official explanations were just coverups and they already figured it out.

Wait until fires start over here.

But, lets not suspect any Moslims because Presidente Jorge Boosh told us Islam is a religion of peace.

If the fire were to shift and engulf an Arab town, then there would be cries of humanity from the Arab world to save the poor bastards and false reports of how the Israelis intentionally set the blazes to kill Arabs! Ever notice how all the fires in Israel are ALWAYS in Jewish areas? Strange coincidence, no?

After the original stories in the msm, the videos and comments were wiped from view.

I believe you. Every Goddamned one of them should have been shot on sight.

A friend of mine had a similar experience while he was attending the University of Mississippi. A bunch of ragheads stood up and applauded as footage of the WTC collapsed was broadcast on the TVs at the Student Center.

However, according to my friend, a group of “good ol’ boys” quickly assembled and promptly began to beat the living sh#t out of them.
