Reacting to last month's repeated news items regarding theoretical Israeli-Syrian negotiations, London's Al-Quds Al-Arabi (January 16) declared that terrorism ("Palestinian armed resistance") is the Arabs' best tool for effective and productive peace negotiations.
This echoed the Omani Al-Watan newspaper of the same day, which reacted to British Prime Minister Tony Blair's remarks to the effect that the peace process would not continue unless Israel received assurances against terrorist operations. "For a start, the resistance against foreign occupation is not terrorism except in the eyes of imperialist countries and others that strive to oppress other people," the Gulf newspaper declared. In fact, the editorial continued, no one has ever proposed to the Arabs in Israel a "viable alternative to blowing themselves up and leaving orphans behind."
Furthermore, the editorial concluded, this is "true for Palestinians, but more so for the Iraqis."
General Secretary of the Arab League Amr Mousa also criticized the declarations of the British Prime Minister, according to a report in the Palestinian Authority's Al-Ayyam newspaper. Mousa is reported as having said that "peace will not be achieved if the big countries do not terminate the diplomatic immunity given to Israel, which encourages them to keep building the isolation wall."
The Saudi-backed Al-Hayat newspaper the same week carried an article that was a paean to the woman suicide bomber who blew herself up at the Erez checkpoint in Gaza, and to the mother of a suicide bomber who fought so that her son would have the chance to die.
As for the Erez attack, the London-based newspaper eulogized: "They will say she went into history, to reserve her people a place in the future. They will add that she lit the way; the first female martyr in the books of Hamas, the first female martyr in the Gaza strip, the first female Palestinian martyr that leaves her children and embraces the nation. The small child will never get tired of the footage Hamas distributed. He will watch it over and over again, as this female holding the rifle, used to hold him in her arms. He will learn by heart what that woman repeated before blowing herself up in the face of occupiers of her nation's soil. She said: 'I have always wanted to be the first female to execute a martyrdom operation in which parts of my body would scatter.'"
The Al-Hayat article went on to relate the tale of Mohamad Fathi Farhat's mother. According to the story, as told by Hamas spokesperson Khaled Mash'al, "she wrote to the leadership of Al-Qassam Battalions, objecting her son's denial of the request to perform a martyrdom operation [suicide bombing]. When the leadership succumbed to her request, the mother got busy with her son's last preparations, and when she found out of his martyrdom, she wore her best clothes to accept congratulations."
Referring to these two chilling episodes, the columnist concluded, "What if General Ariel Sharon read these two stories at the end of the night? Anytime his military machine makes Palestinian orphans, he would be orphaning Israeli children! The wall does not protect, and weapons do not provide security."
How can he make orphans of them when they are taught at a you age to become suicide terrorists?
It's the only society on earth where there is a good chance of the parents outliving their children.
Accommodate and bend over, uh, er, I meant bend over backwards.
Arabs' best tool for effective and productive peace negotiations.
Best tool for peace is terrorism?? And sheeple actually buy that cr@p. The media and others who accommodate them are the real tools!
And let's be real. It seems as though peace means peace to us in the west. And peace in their terms? Seems like that means annihilation of the 'zionists' and other infidels and subjugation of those who survive (someone has to do their menial tasks) and institution of sharia and there can be no compromise or peace until then, it would seem. How can we 'negotiate' with those terms?
(Of course, since 90% of Palestinians agree with him, and probably about half of all the billion Muslims, that "fringe" is gettin' really big!)
Oh yeah, that's right, fringe, a tiny half-billion large fringe. But try to be one of the 'moderates' who disagree with the fringe. Bad things have been happening to those who don't shelter and protect and support their brethren, like those Saudi princes 'mysteriously' dying. Add to that poverty (even though their 'leaders' live in wealth), overcrowding, and a notion that sacrificing oneself for the 'cause' guarantees paradise, and well...
The record Jew-killing intifada has been wildly successful:
-arabrat is at the top of his game.
-the plo/pa terror regime receives more money than ever, including from the US.
-Genocidal arab muslim plo terrorists liquify Jews in Israel's streets essentially at will.
-The traitorous filth sharon (may his name and memory be erased forever) watches Jewish blood run into the sewer and does nothing.
-The traitorous filth sharon (may his name and memory be erased forever) plans Jew transfer instead of genocidal arab, muslim terrorist transfer.
-bush can't stop himself from rewarding the world's most prolific Jew-killer since hitler with his own plo terror state.
Israel doesn't have the will to survive or the courage to surrender. Its immutable policy of suicidal paralysis endangers every Jew worldwide all the more. The immutable policy of suicidal paralysis also rewards global muslim terrorism, as the article correctly point out.
Good job Israel, you cowards.
