The US State Department accusing the Palestinians of terrorism? Will wonders never cease!? Next, they'll be announcing that the sun rises in the East.

[Cachelot]

The US State Department accusing the Palestinians of terrorism?

They've probably been drinking. Or Bush has had an exorcism performed on them.

[GROUCHOTWO]

Israel=naughty, Arafat=very naughty. Well, that proclamation will solve this 50 year-old mess!

FYI: P.L.O.'s Hanan Ashrawi in San Francisco, Monday, November 5

Thought we're fighting a war against terrorism. Isn't this like letting one of bin Laden's mullahs coming over here to speak?

Good post.

She was born Christian Arab but most likley is now leftist atheist.

Has you noticed that Colin Powell has been less visible in the last week? And Condie Rice has been more visible?

Looks like maybe Bush and Cheney yanked the leash of the Arabists at State Dept a bit.

FYI.

"Chairman Arafat"?
"CHAIRMAN Arafat"?
He's the friggin' Terrorist-in-Chief!
The Israelis need to off him as the first step to genuine peace.

"The intifada (Palestinian uprising), whatever its origin, has become an ongoing process of calculated terror and escalation," he said.

The Jews also have a lot of house cleaning ahead of them.(see link)

Has you noticed that Sharon was not invited to speak this Sunday at Rabin's service.
Looks like maybe the peacenicks have had enough "security".

Has you noticed that Sharon was not invited to speak this Sunday at Rabin's service.

No, I did not, but why would he want to go?

[Phil V.]

. . . but why would he want to go?

Let Sharon speak

[veronica]

I don't see anything in that article that stated Sharon really wanted to go. It is a sad fact that Rabin was naive, as even his widow Leah came to realize.

[Phil V.]

It is a sad fact that Rabin was naive . . .

. . . and therefore needed to be eliminated because he was a danger to the State? Huh? What do you mean by naive?

[veronica]

I did not say he should have been eliminated. I said he was politically naive and were he here to see the current intifada, (or 'terror') I believe he would have a much different point of view of Arafat and the whole thing, as his wife in large part came to see.

[Phil V.]

. . . were he here to see the current intifada . . .

Had he not been assassinated it is entirely possible that there would not have been the current intifada.

[American Preservative]

My point was of her espousing her "point of view."

My, looks like her day planner is quite busy -
