Dream of Palistine

A newly released best-selling novel for teens, Rever la Palestine (Dream of Palestine), sympathetically portrays a young Palestinian who becomes a suicide bomber. The fifteen-year-old Egyptian author, Randa Ghazi, who lives with her family in Italy, writes about Palestinian teenagers who fight "bloodthirsty Jews, who assassinate children and old people, profane mosques, and rape Arab women."

Dream of Palestine is being touted as 'surprisingly mature' and 'a great text of suffering and hope.' One of the novel's heroes calls for Jihad against the Jews who are 'a doomed people' and to 'kill all Israelis.' The main character is encouraged 'to kill hundreds in his suicide bombing' and later does blow himself up along with five Israelis.

Released to coincide with the Christmas season, and inexpensively priced, Dream of Palestine has quickly sold out in major bookstores in Paris. It has been released by Flammarion, the third largest publishing house in France, a subsidiary of the Italian media giant, Rizzoli Corriere della Sera, which includes among its holdings one of the largest Italian daily newspapers and Rizzoli bookstores in the United States.

The Wiesenthal Center is urging Amazon France and other French online websites to stop selling the book which is full of libelous accusations and which clearly incites racist violence and validates terrorism. The themes in this book could serve as the basis for litigation. We must act now to raise our voices in protest of this horrific book. The Jewish community of France has launched a protest, but more, much more needs to be done...

My God, are we going to have to kill them all to get any peace?

The Religion of Pieces and its European enablers are a real problem. Cowboys and Muslims anyone?

[Imal]

I'm sure all those unemployed immigrant Muslim teens in Paris, who normally waste their time engaging in mass rat-pack attacks against malls or attacking tourists, will draw gainful inspiration from this book.

[Travis McGee]

That is coming. So far, nobody has ever seen the "unofficial ten million deer rifle army" in action.

So far.

[CARepubGal]

Is there a bag limit or is it open season, no tag, no limit? :-)

[Travis McGee]

Nobody knows, only time will tell.

[Lurker]

Yes, we are.

Sad isn't it?

Sad, but probably will be true.

Until the militants of this religion are destroyed, there will be no peace. I will not go farther then that at this point, but any more of this and I might be pushed over the rail.

[Squantos]

Cowboys and Muslims anyone? .......any minute now :o)

Stay Safe !

Atomic Root Canal.

Atomic Root Canal.

When a tooth gets really decayed it needs a root canal sooner or later. And will it be done with or without Novocain.

[BenF]

Gee....wouldn't it be just terrible to do to them what they're advocating doing to others?

[knighthawk]

And that army won't have to honor the Geneva convention!

[paul51]

These vermin aren't worthy of a state. They should be exterminated.

[Travis McGee]

Yes, but such wars are always cruel and ugly.

My God, are we going to have to kill them all to get any peace?

LOL

Presumably even the ones living in Italy.

A jihadi + hollow point = virgins in paradise

We are even doing them a favor!
