U.S. REMAINS MUM ON SAUDI HELP TO PA (hamas suicide bombers)

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has remained mum on whether Saudi Arabia finances the Palestinian suicide bombing campaign against Israel.

The U.S. policy comes as Palestinian sources acknowledge that Saudi Arabia has provided money to the families of suicide bombers. They said charities from such Gulf Cooperation Council countries as Qatar and Saudi Arabia have relayed thousands of dollars for the survivors of so-called martyrs.

U.S. officials said the Bush administration has been careful to avoid any connection between the Saudi kingdom and the Palestinian campaign to send suicide bombers to Israel. They said the administration has established that Riyad is cooperating with efforts to block financing to those groups deemed as terrorists by the State Department.

Saudi Arabia has provided the Palestinian Authority and Islamic groups about $500 million over the last 18 months, officials said. The officials said most of the money has gone to PA Chairman Yasser Arafat and the Hamas movement.

The Saudis have their fingerprints all over this:

Thanks to TomGuy for much of the above.

I am still wondering if the only honorable way to "solve" the Arab-Israeli conflict is to use "ethnic cleansing" (by which I mean the polite, but forceful removal of all 3 million Palis from Eretz Yisrael -- which is not "genocide", as some on the Left misuse the term).

The current wave of "suicide" bombers (a misnomer, since their primary goal isn't suicide, but the mass murder of civilians) is unprecedented and unrelenting. But it should not be unexpected. It is the direct (and obviously planned) result of brainwashing that started with Pali children as young as kindergarteners. Look at the faces of the babies in the pictures above. What vomitous horror. What unspeakable evil.

And homicidal-bombers are not some unforseen phenomenom that sprung forth from the "hopelessness" of the populace, as the PA "leaders" would have us believe. They are part and parcel of the war machine created by the PA to wreak systematic havoc on Israel. Someone decided to train -- or more accurately, brainwash -- the Pali youth. Someone decided to buy the materials, make the bombs, and hide them. Someone decided to lay out and plan a path to a weak spot in Israeli defenses. Someone decided to give these murdering-bombers their weapons. Someone decided to videotape their farewell messages. Someone decided to pay the family to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars specifically for their "martyrdom." And, as we are now learning, that means someone like Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat and the Saudi elite.

The PA has not been preparing its people for peace, but radicalizing them for visceral hate and unrelenting war. Indeed, as Henry Kissinger has pointed out:

In reality, the number of Palestinian leaders... who want peace in the Western sense -- as a point after which the world lives free of tensions with a consciousness of reconciliation -- is minuscule. The fundamental schism is between those who want to bring about the destruction of Israel by continuing the present struggle, and those who believe that an agreement now would be a better strategy to rally forces for the ultimate showdown later on.

The unfortunate result of Arafat's strategy of hatred is that Pali society is no longer able to co-exist in peace with Israel. Recent polls tell the story clearly: Over 87% of the Palis support terror operations that murder Israeli civilians. Given these numbers, there is NO POSSIBILITY of a negotiated settlement that would be honored by the Palis within their lifetime. Arafat has brainwashed an entire generation of youngsters to become suicide bombers. He has unleashed almost 10 years of official "judeo-nazi" indoctrination on the Pali people, making PA pretensions to peace a sick joke. Arafat has committed not only a crime against Israel, but also against against Palestinians and their children -- a crime against humanity.

Current conditions make ethnic cleansing not only justified, but morally required. As antithetical as it sounds to liberal ears, ethnic cleansing is literally the only humane solution. To pursue a negotiated settlement is akin to locking a tiger and a human with a gun in the same cage. Assign the roles to whomever you wish, but the result is the same. Someone is eventually going to be killed.

The world community's role in this to date has been to create the spectacle -- a caged, semitic death match. The world community's response going forward ought to be the equivalent of an "Allied invasion of Nazi Germany" because nothing less will suffice to rid the world of this monstrosity. Eject all Arab peoples from Gaza and the West Bank (because once you eliminate the terrorists and their supporters, virtually nobody is left). Then round up the PA leaders (including "clerics" and "teachers"), and put these so-called leaders on trial for Crimes against Humanity. As they are found guilty, hang them in public.

And to the extent that this PA policy was conducted, funded, supported, promoted, or otherwise enabled by their Arab bretheren (notably Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia) then it is incumbent upon these countries to pay for their sins by taking in the Palis. Arabs created this mess. Let Arabs bear the toll for the human misery they created.

Even Tom Friedman of the New York Times has come around, finally grasping the global ramifications of Arafat's evil:

"...all they [the Palestinian leaders] can agree on is what they want to destroy, not what they want to build.... Let's be very clear: Palestinians have adopted suicide bombing as a strategic choice.... This threatens all civilization because if suicide bombing is allowed to work in Israel, then, like hijacking and airplane bombing, it will be copied and will eventually lead to a bomber strapped with a nuclear device threatening entire nations."

What is needed is the elimination of this cancer on humanity. End it now or more innocent lives will be lost. End it now or it will escalate to Weapons of Mass Destruction. End it clearly and with finality so that there is NO moral ambiguity. Moral clarity demands nothing less. And as a sop to liberal sensibilities, do it for the children

What a bunch of disgusting rodents.

Nobody really wants to admit that this is a holy war, but that's what it is. We have to face up to that and get rid of the cancer that is Islam.

Of course they are silent. They are cowards without conscience.

[whadizit]

We have just GOT TO CULTIVATE ANOTHER ENERGY SOURCE before our dependence on the Saudi's gets us all killed at worst, hypocritical at least!!! Tough talk about terrorism means nothing unless we are courageous enough to back it up and challenge those (Saudi's) who claim to be our friends. Until we take that risk, we are nowhere. As long as we continue to turn our backs to what they are doing, we are nowhere.

"They said the administration has established that Riyad is cooperating with efforts to block financing to those groups deemed as terrorists by the State Department.".....uhhuh. I'd love to have a government that spoke the TRUTH once in awhile. No oil considerations, no BB considerations, no..............I know. I'm dreaming.
