Dead-on right. Bingo.
When, immediately following the attacks, it was reported how shaken Arafat and his senior staff were as they watched on TV, I told numerous folks that his shock and horror were probably quite genuine..................but not because of a bunch of dead Americans and destroyed buildings. He could give a s**t.
No, Arafat was visibly and deeply shaken because of what flashed through his brain in an instant as he saw these attacks: The absolute end of ANY hopes of EVER having a Palestinian state. It just ain't..............gonna.............happen.
That also means that he'll be marginalized, and it also means that the U.S will be soon taking a proctoscope to him and his cronies in ways he NEVER expected.
That's why the shaking in his bernoose; that's why the P.R. stunt of giving blood, etc. He's scared spitless.
Nobody? Hmm.. seems most of the Arab world has been demanding equitable treatment for them for some time. And, you know come to think of it, they are STILL tying their support of our coalition into Israel and Palestine.
Just cause you don't care doesn't mean that THEY don't..
Maybe I should have said "nobody from any civilized country gives a damn about the Palestinians."
"Equitable treatment" from the Arabs means the destruction of Israel.
The PLO pointedly will not remove that statement from their charter.
Not so. What angers them most is the deployment of American troops on Muslim (Saudi) soil. This 'defilement' of their holy land is really what started the whole Osama ball rolling...
Q: Who had been living in the land from the time of Abraham to the time of Jesus (Titus/diaspora)?
A: The JEWS.
Q: Who has title to the land?
A: Genesis 15:7- And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it...
"18": In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
According to the BIBLE Abraham has "TITLE" to the land. And as far as history (not the revisionist Islamic/Nazi kind) they have occupied it all that time with few exceptions (400 years in Egypt after Joseph, Romans drove them out in 70 A.D.)
BTW...In places where the law is respected (CIVILIZED COUNTRIES), TITLE DEED is HONORED.
Not so. What angers them most is the deployment of American troops on Muslim (Saudi) soil. This 'defilement' of their holy land is really what started the whole Osama ball rolling...
Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's just stand back and let the Jews be exterminated by the PLO. In fact, we could have prevented the attacks in New York and D.C. by simply staying out of WWII. What were we thinking?
On to the next hemp fest, nothing to see here.
Oh...glad you cleared that up. And all this time I just thought Saddam was still ticked about the gulf war! LOL
Gosh, I guess according to your logic any :"American infidel" standing on islamic soil is defiling it and deserves to be incinerated.
Aren't you curious _why_ so many people want to kill us? If we can identify those reasons, we can start taking action to prevent future attacks, by dealing with those resons.
But I don't see it that way at all. If we retreat we will get more of the same and I believe this for precisely the reason you state: Israel gave the Pallies everything but the kitchen sink and they turned it down. Why? Because the goal is Israel's destruction. Their goal is not to live alone in peace and be sovereign this time, it is to destroy America.
