London mayor defends the use of Palestinian suicide bombers
Haaretz Service ^

Posted on 07/20/2005 10:24:03 AM PDT by jmc1969

Less than two weeks since the London terror attacks, the city's Mayor Ken Livingstone has sparked controversy by defending the use of suicide bombers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and charging that Israel had indiscriminately slaughtered Palestinians in acts that "border on crimes against humanity."

"Given that the Palestinians don't have jet planes, don't have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons," Livingstone told Sky News in an interview.

"In an unfair balance, that's what people use," said Livingstone, who has often been strongly critical of Israel in the past.

On July 7, more than 50 people died in four London bombings believed to have been carried out by suicide terrorists.

Livingstone said that Israel has "done horrendous things which border on crimes against humanity the way they have indiscriminately slaughtered men, women and children in the West Bank and Gaza for decades."

Livingstone also said that he does not distinguish between members of Likud and Hamas, branding them "two sides of the same coin."

Now I fully understand how this modern version of Chamberlain gathered enough votes to become Mayor. Thanks for the data.

Dear red-as-Lenin's-drawers Mayor Livingstone; Smooth move, buckaroo banzai! For a brief moment when you condemned the perpetrators of the 7/7 terrorist attack in London, I actually had a bit of sympathy for you. Sadly, you started flapping your sorry big-a#$ bazoo and talked trash, and you just brought back my disgust for you. Silly Eurabian, I hope that many of your constituents will have their eyes opened and give you the left foot of fellowship out the door! The British people should rise up and deport this sorry fool to Amalekstine where he'll be much happier! This guy is a total putz!

Looks like Red Ken is getting a taste of his own medicine. Looks like Islamic nutcases are bombing London again today.

The Mayor seems convinced that as long as he has a lip lock on the asp of the asp, the asp will be too thrilled to bite him.

Actually in this time of twisted logic, this A-hole is probably first in line for a Nobel peace prize.

Compare the great, inspiring rhetoric of Winston Churchill with the embarrassing drivel of this "little man" mayor.

Surf "The Guardian" message boards and see the level of anti-Israel hate. These are the voters who keep this ditz in office.

Yea, if i was the relative of a victem I'd be sure to knock his teeth out in public..I wouldnt care what the concequences were .A hole of the first order. In other words he has justified the attack on his own city ?hummm guess he has huh ? World's gone mad..Wonder if he'd feel the same if his daughter had her legs blown off that day or if he was blinded by flying glass or his wife had her face burned off..Why wont some reporter with BALLS ever challenge this a hole with reality questions like this..?

To put it very bluntly--

I have long ceased having a care about what these creatures think, or feel, or fear, or even care about anymore:

Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:

No, I am not exaggerating.
I am not joking-
-this is life versus death, freedom versus slavery that we are talking about.
Click the picture, go to the "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.


...and then, there's this little matter still on the books, waiting to be accounted for:

Where It's 9-11 All the Time...

Click the picture...

"Where it's nine-eleven all the time
and no Sun sets, and no clocks chime
where no voice speaks and no bird trills
the Moon hangs frozen o'er the hills
The winds are still, they seem to say,
Reflect, remember, stop to pray..."


"Imam's fiery message speaks to radical British Muslims"

I wrote this some time ago, and while I wish I could change what is said, I cannot, nor will I, retract a single word of it:


From my file, "Fire and Blood and Iron:"


The entire West ( dare I say "the civilized World?" ) is locked in a fight to the death with militant Islam.

There will be no second-place winner, no "third way" solution-- it is March or Die time, folks.

It is Us versus an eighth-century "culture" of plunder & pillage, forced religious "conversions," and the mistreatment of women.

The sooner we face up to this fact realistically and quit dancing around PC talking-point nonsense about diversity and tolerance, the better off we'll all be.

We did not pick this fight- which really has roots in Jimmy Carter's appeasement in 1979 of militants- but we had damned well better see it for what it is, and be prepared to face it and finish it.

I'll put it in raw, personal terms-- I don't want Sharia law visited upon my women, and I don't want a goat-roper "culture" infesting my land.

I don't want their vile, nasty, loathsome weapons of mass destruction loosed upon my fair country, either.

They picked the fight, and now it is up to us to finish it- balls to the wall, hammer and anvil, fire and blood and iron... freedom is never, ever free, and the coin you pay it in is men's lives and tears and blood.

What we saw during Gulf War I was our military doctrine ( high tech ) versus Soviet doctrine ( throw a lot of low tech iron at the problem )-- and we all know how that turned out.

What we saw in the 3-Week War is Information-Tech,
( What some are calling it Hyperwarfare... )
or 21st Century warfare versus 20th Century...

What I would suggest, and call your attention to, is the fact that we, and Israel, are capable of waging 21st Century warfare, and the entire Arab world is not.

Proven fact, by recent events.

One more thing- this will be a war where we are all called to be warriors- so I very strongly suggest to you that the time has come to get hard, and stay hard... it really is the time for Fire and Blood and Iron...
