Mayor Rudolph Giuliani rejected a $10 million donation to the Twin Towers fund from a Saudi prince today after learning that the billionaire followed the gift with a press release that stated that Israelis slaughtered Palestinians daily and blamed American policies toward Israel for the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Good for Giuliani. If that Prince wants to "support us" then he should truly support us.

Giuliani should have accepted the check and earmarked it for the purchase of 5 Tomahawk missiles.

This continues to be the problem with Muslim leaders - they just can't seem to categorically decry the attacks and call for public shunning of the attackers. They always want to add some disclaimer about Israel, Vietnam "excesses", US materialism/decadence, blah, blah, blah....
Can we not simply call the 9/11 and it's perps evil - or must all Muslims justify themselves with this additional nonsense?

Please tell me that Giuliani will run against Hillary in the next election.

Good for Rudy! $10 million was a cheap price for a Saudi Prince to pay for the privilige of spreading more anti-American, anti-Iraeli propaganda. Rudy just yanked him off his soap box, and spanked him!

Stick it up your burqa, Prince...

Way to go Rudy. When I heard about the check and the accompanying statements, my immediate reaction was "send it back". Glad to know Rudy heard me (from 800 miles away)!

tell the prince to send it to israel. or, better yet, have the saudis and other islamic nuts relocate the islamic nuts in lebanon and israel to saudi arabia. i'm tiring of the 'moderates'. no, i'm just plain sick and tired of them completely.

Yes, whenever these ragheads start dissing Israel, they are really dodging the ball on the root cause and perpetuate a LARGE part of the problem. Support for Israel should not get 6,000 Americans killed. Nor should perceived American arrogance or any other BS tripe out of these regressive humanoids. They need to look within and find the root under their own trees.

Note to Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal:

Well done, Mr. Mayor. And now that you've sorted out New York City, would you consider fixing London?

Please tell me that Giuliani will run against Hillary in the next election. Oh how I hope so. It would be sooooooooooooooo joyous for those heinous people to be removed from our government once and for all.

Pronouncing the terrorism was "a tremendous crime" on site was a good thing. Blaming it on anything at all later, was a bad thing. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for these acts of terrorism, so linking it is unacceptable.
I am always amazed when the middle-easterners refer the the deaths at the hands of the Israelis as if they were totally unrelated to anything perpetrated against them.

"Please tell me that Giuliani will run against Hillary in the next election."
Me likes the sound of that.
