Palestinians Fighting in Iraq

MSNBC (Chris Matthews)

[Piranha]

I am watching Chris Matthews on MSNBC. He has on an Iraqi-born American whose brother is a marine in Baghdad. He said that his brother is telling him that most of the fighters in Baghdad are not Iraqis, but are mostly Egyptians, Syrians and Palestinian arabs!

It seems to me that when Ceaucescu was overthrown in Romania, it was also the Palestinians who were fighting to defend the old, dictatorial regime.

I always knew that the Palestinians have been exporting terror. I am starting to understand just how literally to take this.

I don't want to generalize, but a great many Palistinians really suck ass.

[Paleo Conservative]

Palestinians have a knack for picking the wrong side of any conflict.

No, this was just a single statement in an interview with the marine's brother.

Ollie North has said the same thing in his broadcasts. The only people still fighting are the Arab imports.

[Gracey]

Perhaps we should give the Syrians a taste of our military before they come home.

[tinamina]

Oliver North has been reporting for days that the people they are fighting and the suicide bombers are all "foreigners" (sp?) and that the Iraqi people are now pointing them out because they want them gone. Then today there was a report that 59 young men were going back to Syria on a bus which got stopped and arrested by US military. They had $630,000 US dollars on them. They were paid by someone to fight the Americans. I think most of the fighters all along have been these terrorists, they were certainly using the same suicidal tactics. Without the outsiders, Saddam would have had NO army that stayed around to fight from day one.
Also reported today was that a US Marine was killed while guarding a hospital in Baghdad by a guy with a Syrian passport, who was also shot and killed.

Where did you get that idea?

[CyberAnt]

And ... aside from Iraq who is supporting the PA movement, it's also the Syrians. Hezbollah and Hamas have headquarters in Damascus.

[Piranha]

I remember from contemporary news accounts that the Palestinians, especially in Bucharest (where many of them were registered as university students) were fighting the Romanians to uphold Ceaucescu's dictatorship. Unfortunately, I can't refer you to a specific reference. This is only a personal recollection.

Could be that he read it in the Wall Street Journal in an article by Netanyahu?

Kill them all.

I'll generalize: the Palestinians are an evil race.

And before a moderator zots this comment, let me tell you why: it's nothing to do with their genes; it's the result of their education. Most of them have been turned into evil people, just as Uday Hussein was turned into an evil person by his father Saddam.

An entire generation has been trained to hate, trained to be accessories to murder -- if not to be outright murderers -- by their leadership. This is shown by polls which show vast percentages of Palestinians approving the homicide bombings designed to kill innocent civilians, including women and children.

It's also quite visible in an examination of the actual programs that explicitly teach this hatred -- Palestinian textbooks, for example, and TV programs that glorify mass murder to kindergarteners and teach them that becoming a mass murderer of the innocent is the highest possible calling in life.

The only way they will stop being an evil race is for their evil leaders to be crushed and purged from the face of the earth, and for new leaders to be raised up who embrace good, and teach it to their people. Given the degree to which the whole culture is steeped in evil, I have no idea how that could possibly happen.

[American in Israel]

The Sirhan Sirhan that killed Kennedy was Palestinians and the first set of WTC bombers were too. But it is not a type of Arab that tends to murder, it is a political organisation. The confusion comes from thinking of "Palestinian" as a people. Palestinians come from the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, not from a geographical area. They were just called "Arabs" until the PLO was founded. Most "Palestinians" come from the Arab Nations all around Israel.

That is my take on it after having been here for three years.

Are you really surprised lawyers are involved in criminal activities?

Remember, just because a lawyer says something doesn't mean it is true or even legal. This is a growing problem in the US and overseas too.
