'Arabs couldn't have killed him, only Israelis' [even when Arabs kill Arabs, Israel is blamed]

Zakiyah Abu Sneineh, whose 60-year-old husband, Salah, died in the blast, refused to acknowledge that he was killed by Palestinians.

"Arabs couldn't have killed him, only Israelis," the woman said, sobbing in the emergency room of a Ramallah hospital. In an adjacent room, her 6-year-old grandson Mahdi, who was critically wounded in the blast, was fighting for his life. The Abu Sneinehs were in their car, waiting in a line of vehicles, when the blast went off.

A Palestinian man hurt in the attack said it was too early to judge the terrorists. "I don't want to blame them," said Rateb Abu Fkhaideh, 47, who had a leg injury.

His comments angered several visitors in the emergency room. "Why are you defending them (the terrorists)?" 35-year-old Nader Omar asked Abu Fkhaideh. "They are wrong. We should raise our voice against them. These guys don't use their minds." Two others nodded in agreement.

Palestinian officials were reserved in their criticism of Al Aksa, which has ties to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's ruling Fatah movement. "Such attacks harm the Palestinian cause," Hassan Abu Libdeh, the Palestinian Cabinet secretary, said of Wednesday's bombing. "These groups must avoid every spot where there is a possibility that a Palestinian will be there."

In four years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, support for the terrorists in Palestinian society has remained high, despite the hardships from Israeli retaliation for scores of bombings and shootings. From time to time, criticism of the extremists is voiced.

However, while Palestinians may complain in private, they rarely express their misgivings openly.

Notice the PLO "cabinet secretary" endorsing the terrorists....

The bigotry and prejudice of the Palestinians wasn't reasoned in, so it cannot be reasoned out. No matter what fate they bring upon themselves, they'll find a way to blame it on the Israelis.

This is why Leftists love 'em. Ever notice how the Leftists' first inclination is to blame someone else for their misery? Same dynamic.

Until Israel is allowed to release the dogs and drive these criminals from their lands, nothing will change.

The Pals are afraid of the bandit-warrior class that they have spawned. They live under a mafia system of overlapping loosely affiliated gangs.

Confusing, really confusing.

Then again, Islamorons always seem a bit dim at times.

did anyone read the actual article, as opposed to the headline?

ive said this kind of thing several times but you cant just put all of them in one category. yes there is popular support for terrorism, but theres probably just as many who are afraid to speak out who dont want death, who just want peace. its human nature.

if we ignore those on the other side who dont want to be our enemies we hand them over to the terrorists. and the terrorists want these people. they want them.

EXACTLY. thankyou. you get it. if we want to imagine all palestinians dancing in the streets at american deaths then we are just putting our heads in the sand and resorting to stereotypes and racism to make a complex situation seem more simple. the public opinion over in brown-people-land isnt one-sided, just like ours isnt. but they arent as free to speak and enact change as we are.

I recomend everyone read Preachers of Hate: Islam and the War on America by Kenneth R. Timmerman and see if they can get their liberal friends to read it. The Amazon.com location is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400049016/qid=1092293535/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-8158997-4540942?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

I'm familiar with MEMRI and some of the other sources and find his analysis very accurate of what I see coming out of the Middle East. Muslims won't like the book at all. Two of the negative reviews of this book appear to be from Muslims and their reviews aren't very convincing or well argued. I would challenge Muslims to demonstrate why this doesn't reflect Islam as it's preached and fought in a lot of the world and what they are doing to combat teachings like the ones that the book documents.

If only a majority thought like them. [sigh]

This lady's thinking sounds like liberal democrat thinking. Always blame others.
