AIN AL-HELWEH, Lebanon, Sept 11 (AFP) -
Dozens of Palestinian refugees fired into the air with joy Tuesday at news of apparent anti-US terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, AFP correspondents witnessed.

Guerrillas in military fatigues from various factions fired assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades into the air in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp at the outskirts of the southern port city of Sidon, one correspondent said.

Camp residents, some still in pyjamas, interrupted afternoon rests to rush down to the streets and fire assault rifles into the air, they said.

At the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Palestinian fighters also went out to the streets as soon as they heard the news from their television sets to fire into the air with joy, an AFP correspondent said.

"I take it you want more of today."

No, ma'am .. what I want to see is every Muslim man, woman, and child thrown out of this country and/or executed, painfully and slowly. We won't have to worry about revenge attacks or retribution if we exterminate them.

Kill them all ... nits make lice

I always thought Clinton had a hand in the Oklahoma bombing, as it came at a time he was in political trouble. If he'll bomb innocent people overseas, why not his own. Power is his and Hillary's only goal. I hope her love for the Palistinians finishes her.

I have been thinking about retaliation all morning. What makes sense to me at this point is military attacks against any country which we determine harbors, finances or otherwise supports terrorists. I would announce this policy and attack within 24 hours.

I think you have your head in the sand. You seem to be taken in by the notion that this is just about Israel. It isn't. Bin Laden is anti-American. If Israel were destroyed he would still hate America and the west. Radical Islamic elements have been attacking Israel long before the occupation. Radical Islamic elements were killing Jews long before there was even an Israel. Wake up to the reality, which is that the war against "occupation" is a convenient excuse to cover for their hatred and intolerance of foreign cultures.

Remember, there would be no occupation if not for the wars the Arabs started. There would have been no wars there if the Arabs simply believed that the Jews living there had a right to be autonomous. Jews may not have even pushed very hard for their autonomy had it not been for events like the Hebron Massacre of 1929 and the Jerusalem riots the following decade. These radical Islamic elements don't believe anyone has a right to be autonomous in Islamic land, and their goal is to make all the world Islamic. Witness how Afhganistan treats foreigners, making Hindus wear "gold stars" to identify them, and the fact that Christians may be executed, or how Saudi Arabia won't allow American servicemen to wear crosses around their neck while they defend the kingdom from these nuts. These radical elements must be eradicated from the face of the earth so that peaceful people of God, Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist et al can live in peace and without fear of these types of tragedies.

While Arafat makes a statement about the Horror he feels for us, his people celebrate. I am not at all fooled by his lies, and I hope no one else is either.

I don't think Arafat is behind this.

Yes, he wants a Jew-free Palestine as much as ever. Yes, he is still a terrorist. But he is not crazy or stupid. He does not want the whole USA fighting his people.

I believe he is geniunely horrified and this is why

Cowards Dancing in Street Over Terror Attack

“Thousands of Palestinians celebrated today's terror attacks in the United States, chanting ‘God is Great’ and distributing candy to passers-by. . . . In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the government targets in Washington. Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags.

“Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because ‘America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us’. Her daughter Maysoon, 22, said she hoped the next attack would be launched against Tel Aviv. In traditionally Arab East Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows.”

- The (London) Times, 9/11/01

These people are about to enjoy a long, tall glass of American Ass Kickin' Juice

Damn the Palestinians, Bin-Laden, and all of the other scum over in the Middle East. You know, I have always liked Israel, but these past few months after watching them crackdown really hard on the Palestinians on tv, I thought maybe they were being a bit excessive. I have woken up today!!!! Israel is the only stable democracy over in that loony bin, and they have my full-fledged, wholehearted support. I hope any other sympathy people held for this scum has been wiped out today. I understand that all Muslim and Arab people are not to blame, but I have an intense dislike for Palestinians and their supporters after today. Rot in hell you scum!

There is only one terrorist that has the resources to do this - Bin Laden. The Taliband is denying that they or Bin Laden had anything to do with this. BULLSHIT!!!

The United States should give Afghanistan 24 hours to hand him over or find themselves in a state of war with the U.S.! At the very least, any and all assets of that country should be seized.

And last, but not least, we should place a bounty on the head of every known member of every mideast terrorist organization - and make sure that the dollar figure is high enough to tempt even the the most loyal wannabe zealot/terrorist.

One more thing. All military and other aid to all Islamic nations should be ended immediately and diverted to Isreal. These terrorists do this in order scare us into dropping our support for the regions only democracy. We need to let them know that it will not work, and in fact will only cement that commitment.

This Was An Act Of War! We need to treat it as such. All arab nations bear some degree of responsibilty for this because of their direct and indirect support of these groups over the years.

"If you were a "refugee" how sympathetic would you be to the principle backer of the nation that put you into "refugeehood". They probably have no knowledge of the disgusting attack on the towers or any ability to carry them out. They have only the animus associated with their refugee status and the inability to do anything about it."

Sorry, my FRiend, but the terms offered Arafat and the Palestinians a coupla years ago were more than generous and Arafat and his fanatical followers rejected them out of hand. They don't won't peace, they are not rebel FReedom-Fighters...they are EVIL Scum and we've treated them with kid gloves for far too long, IMHO. They want to accomplish something worthwhile?! They ought to assassinate Arafat and his followers!!

"Killing these people would accomplish only one thing, making new martyrs and new enemies across the muslim world. Where will that all end?"

When the last radical Fundementalist Muslim murderer is sent to Allah...the sooner the better!!

"I pray for the families and that our leaders will keep their heads and not act rashly and for short term political advantage."

I agree wholeheartedly, my FRiend, but once we determine where to assign the Guilt, may Justice be Quick, Terrible, and Absolute!!

I think that all of those who've supported the total GUTTING of our military (aka National Defence) over the past 8 years should be the ones on the scene to carry out the bodies!!!!!!!! It's the stupid, lazy, complacent people of this country, whose biggest voting concern is/was keeping abortion legal, that allowed 2-bit terrorists to walk right in and KILL OUR PEOPLE!!!!!! Remember what Clinton's excuse for gutting the military was..."there's no major enemies, anymore!!!" Thanks to the Clintons, you don't need to be a major enemy to penetrate our defences. Everybody blow a big kiss to the democrats

If I were Palestinian I'd be making a quick exit from the USA. I don't know about anyone else but I'm kind of pissy with them right now.
