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.

Thank you Mayor Guiliani. We don't need money from thugs that support terrorists. The only reason the punk prince has the money is because of the USA.

The punk would be dead by now if it wasn't for the USA defending his country. He can stick his US petrodollars up his a$$.

We would be hated by Osama et al. whether Israel existed or not so long as we take any action in the mid-east.

If not for Israel, The World Trade Center would be standing tall and proud today.

Israel flew those planes into our towers, etc.? Yeah....right.

I hope you're not in NY. Anything near you will have great problems with "standing tall and proud".

As for the prince's donation: seeing as where the finance for the attacks probably came from, I say we just seize enough assets from them to pay for it, plus punitive damages. Take the punitive damages in real estate. With oil wells.

What a stupid thing to say. Mr. Bin Laden didn't give too hoots in Hell for the Palestinians until they became good propaganda for his terrorist recruitment mill. Everyone who in anyway says we 'deserved' this for any reason is not only fooling themselves, but are useful idiots for the Marxist crap that the terrorists are far more dedicated to than any other 'faith'.

You forgot half your post. Here's the other half:

FOX said that the meeting went "South"...Guilianni responded in kind. He said it was an irresponsible statement...wonder if Saudi is on the "list"?

I thought you were talking about the entertainer

I wasn't talking about anyting. I was merely copying the headline from the original source so as not to confuse John Robinson's SEARCH feature. LOL

I am really impressed with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. If only he had not pressed that dumb idea of running for another term I would really be thrilled. Run for something else, but don't press term limits. That made you look bad.

I was tickled he had the gonads to tell that prince off about his comments on Israel.

"Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek"

Cheek?

Mr. Prince should work on his Biblical metaphors.

It is because of your ilk the atrocity was made possible. Those SOBs thought they can achieve something by it because of you, TACHIGUY!

[AnalogReigns]

Man what ignorance! No cause is morally worth killing thousands of innocent civilians for. Besides, Netanyahu is right, they hate Israel BECAUSE of the USA, not visa versa.

Rudy showed incredible courage turning down so much cash for the sake of principle.

[Pericles]

If only Western colleges and universities also refused those funds to set up worthless Islamic studies programs.
