US Secretary of State Colin Powell called on all sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict on Thursday to stick to the road map despite the latest wave of violence.

In remarks to reporters in Washington aired on Fox Television, Powell called on the parties to "act with determination to punch through this wave of violence to make sure it will not stop us on the way to the road map."

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU? THE PEOPLE YOU ARE MAKING ISRAEL NEGOTIATE THIS ROADMAP WITH ARE TERRORISTS!

SAY THAT TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES YESTERDAY - TELL THEM THEY MUST NEGOTIATE WITH THE TERRORIST ENTITY RESPONSIBLE.

[yonif]

Ping.

[chachacha]

Can't add anymore to this statement. They really are dreaming and the longer they dream the worse they will look. THEY ARE TERRORIST GW

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

What a buffoon! Why does this administration keep pushing this nonsense.... After yesterday's events, it should be manifestly clear that the Roadmap is a Roadmap to Hell....

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Where on the road map is the part about shoving the sheet-heads back to Jordan and making them stay there?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Who in the hell came up with the name "road map" for Mideast peace anyway?

[stimpyone]

I understand Powell is applying for the job of information minister in Saddam's guerilla movement.

I hear ya, Yoni! I hope your friends relatives kept safe.

[rudypoot]

All this talk is about the process and not peace... pity.

[Mr.Atos]

I am deeply troubled and saddened by the...'frenchness' of American leadership on this issue. I am reminded of a point that Ayn Rand made...

"In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. "

-- Ayn Rand, "The Anatomy of Compromise," Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Washington might want to look to American philosophy in times of moral confusion, and abandon historically deadly European pragmatism.

The Arabs aqnd their allies want the road map to be another "himmelstrasse". It will not be! Chaya must be fought with chaya!

Following the latest atrocity in Jerusalem, Secretary of State
Powell
urged the Palestinians to issue some form of denunciation.

Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas complained that only the Palestinian
side
is ever required to denounce terror.

Predictably, the Palestinian denunciation later mumbles that they
"deplore the murder of civilians on both sides."

Perhaps the Palestinians have a point, and so to set the record
straight, I do hereby denounce the following in the name of the
Jewish People:


1. All Jewish suicide bombers who have ever acted against Arabs.

2. All Arab buses blown up by Jews.

3. All Arab pizza parlors, malls, discotheques and restaurants
destroyed by Jewish terrorists.

4. All airplanes hijacked by Jews since 1903.

5. All Ramadan feasts targeted by Jewish bombs.

6. All Arabs lynched in Israeli cities; all Arab Olympic athletes
murdered by Jews; all Arab embassies bombed by Jews.

7. All mosques, cemeteries and religious schools fire bombed or
desecrated by Jews in North Africa, France, Belgium, Germany,
England or any other country.

8. The destruction of American military, governmental and civilian

institutions in Kenya, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Yemen
-
along with the murder of U.S. Marines and diplomatic
personnel.

9. All Jewish school books which claim that Arabs poison wells,
use
Christian blood to bake pita, control world finance, and
murdered
Jesus; or that Arab elders meet secretly to plot a world
takeover.

10. And I am particularly ashamed at the way my fellow Jews
attacked
the World Trade Center, Pentagon and civilian aircraft on
September
11th, and danced in the streets to celebrate the act.

What the hell is it with U.S. presidents who insist on the right of the U.S. to seek out and destroy terrorists yet urge one of our best allies to coddle them?

yonif, I suspect that you are a Jew and I would highly advise you to read some of the Christian writings about the person who authors/arranges a peace treaty between Israel and the PLO. The peace will be a false peace and will not last (as you would probably guess).

Powell urges sides: 'Punch through'

Powell?? Punch???

Funny, the only thing I can think of is "Punch Powell".

[joesnuffy]

Arafat is a Terrorist
The USA's taxpayers just gave him another $50 million dollars of their hard earned money................
This will probably get him or someone a Nobel Peace Prize
And why not Arafat got one

[yonif]

I hear ya, Yoni! I hope your friends relatives kept safe.

My family (from my mother's side) are all located in Beer-Sheva in the south of Israel and the surronding towns, places which, fortunatelly, been less hit with terrorism.

[yonif]

BTTT

[LADY J]

Seems to me that Israel is using the 'road map'. They found the one that leads to the terrorists leaders and getting rid of them.

Hope they keep following it to get rid of the scum.Maybe they could send it to Powell so he can figure it out too.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Punch through... sounds about right. Israel has some very nice machine guns for the purpose.

[yonif]

yonif, I suspect that you are a Jew

Yup.
