Palestinian DFLP denies World Trade Center crash
JERUSALEM, Sept 11 (Reuters) - A senior official from the radical Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine denied on Tuesday the group had any connection to a double plane crash onto New York City's World Trade Center.
An anonymous caller had told Abu Dhabi television the DFLP was behind the crash.
"I emphasise that the story released on Abu Dhabi TV by an anonymous person is totally incorrect," Tayseer Khaled, a senior official from the DFLP politburo in the Palestinian territories, told Reuters.
"The DFLP is against hijacking planes and against endangering the lives of civilians who are not connected with the struggle of this region," he said.
For instance, ayatollah Fadlullah's Friday's speech The Intifada in its Second year
The Intifada continues, and the Martyr operations-especially in Jerusalem-continue, and it has made the Israelis live in a state of panic.
Nevertheless, they continue their brutal aggressions and continue to destroy houses, assassinate activists, and kill innocent civilians… America on its part sees no violation in all these crimes of its laws that define how American weapons should be used. In its view, the Israelis have the right to eradicate the Palestinians claiming that they are exercising the right of self-defense and fighting terrorism. The charter of human rights does not include, according to the US, The right of Palestinian in self-determination if the occupier happens to be Israeli.
America has also withdrew from the Durban Conference in South Africa in Protest against the attempt to condemn Israeli Brutal crimes against the Palestinians. For America is a partner to Israel and condemning Israel would mean condemning America itself. America- and Europe too- have rejected the African call to apologize for the slavery practices, and they also refused to pay any compensation. On the other hand, America exerted every possible pressure on Germany to compensate for the Jews. Therefore, they do not respect the black peoples. They still view them as their slaves, and want to exploit their resources and deprive them of their political independence and plunder their resources. All this shows how great the lie America trades with, when it claims to believing in human rights.
America provides political and military support to Israel and to all its other allies, even if such support is made use of against the cause of freedom whether inside each country or outside it. I therefore call for understanding America’s role in the world, and consequently to punish it economically and isolate it politically.
The continuity of this indifferent attitude towards the great cause of the peoples and the plunder of their wealthes is against the interests of all human beings, especially the weakened among them.
As political parties and dignitaries are preparing to celebrate the first anniversary of the Intifada, I feel that there is a dire need for planning of the means to support the Intifada on the peoples level, regardless of how limited their potentials are. I also call for exerting pressure upon the decision makers in the Arab and Muslim worlds to play their role in pressurizing the international arrogance and the rest of the world public opinion to force Israel to offer concessions.
Sharon in Moscow
In this context, I would like to express my astonishment and surprise by the recent Russian stands, on the occasion of Sharon’s visit to Moscow.
The Russians have criticized the martyr operations as terrorist acts and formed a joint committee with Israel to fight terrorism. They also reaffirmed their commitment to ban arms and not to export military technology. But Russia did not condemn the brutal Israeli operations, against the Palestinians, and did not even mention the Israeli nuclear arsenal that threatens the whole region. Such Russian stands call for astonishment and drive us to ask: Are the Russians giving a new present to America?
"Especially the United States of America which is the biggest enemy of all Muslims."
If it was Palestinains we must make sure that they don't get anything out of this. The Irealis should end autonomy , crush any palestinian resistence. It doesn't matter if it was them. They are going to pay reguardless because they support terrorist bombings.
We will likely close our borders to people of arab decent.
Pointing fingers at the Palestinians will do nothing but create more problems and bloodshed. But then that's what some people seem to want.
