When do we get an apology from AFAFAT & Muslims for THIS?!?! (Palestinians celebrate 9/11 Attacks)

NABLUS, West Bank -- Thousands of Palestinians celebrated Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States, chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as their leader, Yasser Arafat, said he was horrified.

The U.S. government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the past year of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, with many Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel.

In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.

Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags. Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because "America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us."

Her daughter Maysoon, 22, said she hoped the next attack would be launched against Tel Aviv.

In traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows.

Arafat and his top advisers huddled at his seaside office in Gaza City, watching the events unfold on television. Arafat later emerged to speak to reporters.

"We are completely shocked. It's unbelievable," he said. "We completely condemn this very dangerous attack, and I convey my condolences to the American people, to the American president and to the American administration, not only in my name but on behalf of the Palestinian people."

In the West Bank, meanwhile, the leader the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine denied his group was involved in the attacks.

Qais Abdel Rahim was reacting to reports that two Arab satellite stations in the Gulf had received anonymous claims of responsibility on behalf of the DFLP, a radical PLO faction. Abdel Rahim said his group condemned the attacks.

"The Israeli “movers” cheered the 9-11 attacks to celebrate the successful accomplishment of the greatest spy operation ever pulled off in history."

Why don't you come out and say it, pin-head? YOU AND THAT CRAP-SITE YOU LINKED TO STATE THAT THE JEWS BLEW US UP ON 9/11!

Osama thanks you for encouraging his troops, especially when they kill our GI's.

That's right, moron, you just gave more support TO THOSE KILLING OUR TROOPS."

See that that link was one of over 10,400 links that popped up on a google search of "Israelis" + "Celebrate" + "9/11" and the fact that several major news outlets covered that story....ahh, forget it. Put your head back in the sand.

BTW, I've done nothing to discourage our troops from success. I wasn't the one who told them to retreat from Fallujah while handing over control to a former Iraqi Republican Guard general.

"THAT JEWS BLEW UP THE WTC? "

A. Stop screaming in ALL-CAPS. It does nothing to enhance credibility.

B. I never said anything about Jews blowing up or being responsible for WTC. The "fact" is that 5 Israelis did get arrested that day in NYC for suspicious behavior relating to 9-11. Or did you not bother reading any of the 10,000 links? Remember that I, personally, have created no web pages or news stories.

C. Stop shouting.
