". . . Burton’s continued work there was vital. “She is responsible for contacting donors, writing reports to them, fundraising, proposal-writing and editing English documents, . . .

In other words, she writes propaganda for the terrorists.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

One word......IDIOT!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

she “remains committed and passionate about working alongside the Palestinians to improve their external image”.

Ummm . . . wouldn't it improve their image for them to stop kidnapping people? Just a thought.

"The man, wearing a hood and with an automatic rifle strung around his neck, called on Britain to put pressure on the Israelis to stop bombing raids on Gaza in retaliation for rockets being fired into Israel. Two Palestinians were killed yesterday in the latest Israeli attack."

Says it all.

Israelis to stop bombing raids on Gaza in retaliation for rockets being fired into Israel.

Yes indeed, Palis should be able to fire unlimited rockets into Israel without any consequences attached. Who do those Isralis think they are, defending themselves?/Sar

Here's a little background information--what most Americans do not know (see British Mandate).

More Britons support Palestinians, says poll

(piece wiped from original link)

"British voters who say they are more sympathetic towards the Palestinians outnumber by a factor of two to one those who say they support Israel, according to the findings of this month's Guardian/ICM opinion poll.

But only a minority of British voters have a firm view on the issue, with 28% backing the Palestinians and 14% supporting Israel."

...will see if I can find the link for the poll at the original polling company site again.

These events harm our international credibility and strengthen Israel’s pretext to undermine peace,”

Typical word association tactic from these pigs.

When she was released she sported a new keffiyeh scarf. It is the custom for Palestinian kidnappers to make gifts to their freed hostages: Adam Pletts, the last Briton to be held and released after a few hours, was presented with a baseball cap.

Warm fuzzies ping

Here it is.

ICM
"ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,000 adults aged 18+ by telephone on 20-21st April, 2002. Interviews were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all adults.
. . .
"Q3. In the dispute in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians, from what you have seen and heard about the conflict which of the two do you sympathise with more, Israel or the Palestinians?"

Israel           14%
Palestine      28%
Both            14%
Neither         23%
Don't know   20%
"

Anybody got a bulldozer?

"Anybody got a bulldozer?"

Anybody got a Kind David Hotel?

[RichInOC]

I'm going to be kind and characterize this as the triumph of hope over experience on her part.

[Slings and Arrows]

Did you misunderstand me, or did I misundrstand you?

[familyop]

"Did you misunderstand me, or did I misundrstand you?"

I did not misunderstand you, I don't think. Try the key-phrases, "British Mandate" and "King David Hotel" in a search engine. I only enlarged on the idea of "bulldozer" after Corrie immediately came to mind.

[familyop]

And yes, I was joking.

[sgtbono2002]

Kidnapping is when one is taken by force, I doubt any force was needed for this gal in fact I wouldnt be surprised if she planned the whole thing.

[RedRover]

That little lady has her work cut out for her. See this thread, also of today...

..called on Britain to put pressure on the Israelis to stop bombing raids on Gaza in retaliation for rockets being fired into Israel

As others have pointed out that is a bizzare line. I had to look up to see if this was from scrappleface. That's insane

Anyway, she looks like a nice young woman. I wish her the best and hope she gains her senses and settles down back in Britain and stop running around with terrorists in GAZA!!
