Israel evacuates embassies, Palestinians celebrate
Jerusalem Post ^ | 9/11/01

Posted on 09/11/2001 9:42:53 AM PDT by truthandlife

Israel has evacuated all of its embassies throughout the world in the aftermath of today's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, according to a CNN report.

Reports are indicating residents of eastern Jerusalem, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon are celebrating the mass terror attacks in the United States at this time.

Dozens of Palestinian youths have taken to the streets and are distributing candies on a main thoroughfare passing through eastern Jerusalem.

Israeli police are reportedly clashing with the youths.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, Palestinian Authority policemen are attempting to stop the spontaneous celebrations.

You mean we haven't vaporized that part of the world yet?

Now can we do away with the ridiculous policy of the U.S. not getting directly involved in the "removal" of terrorist leaders??????

Probably not, that would be "wrong." </sarcasm>

I hope that all of the celebrating Palestinians see the image of Old Glory on the tactical nukes before they vaporize them and send them to hell.

REPORT ON CBS NEWS AFFILIATE IS THAT THE MILITARY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT DOWN ANY AIRCRAFT IN THE AIR AS ALL AUTHORIZED FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GROUNDED.

I'd be advising the Palestinian that this isn't the time to celebrate. You could make some serious enemies by so doing.

If taking credit for killing ten thousand Americans hasn't
already poisoned the wells of friendship between us
and the PLO, then celebration is probably safe.

We need to focus our rage on something more democratic. We need to hold the sword of Nuclear Annihilation over the heads of the Arabs, and DEMAND they institute real democratic reforms.

Freedom of speech, religion, protest, press--all of the civil liberties, even the right to bear arms. They need to round up and execute ALL of their terrorists. They need to remove the evil from their textbooks, they need to shut down extremist religious leaders (there is a difference between "religious freedom" and the freedom to instigate terror).

If they do this, we might be able to move the Middle East towards peace, real peace. We might be able to eliminate the CANCER of extremist Islam. The same goes for Muslim dictatorships around the world.

If we are angry enough, we can make them do this, and they will, because they are cowards. If not, we will declare war on them as supporters of terrorists who have attacked us, and therefore claim they have started the war against us. We will use airstrikes to cripple them, and--only if necessary--invade on the ground and start kicking serious ass.

EVERY SINGLE Muslim country in the world MUST be made to accept these conditions of liberty, or they must be overthrown.

Just tell the Pali cops that they don't have to worry about it. We'll be there soon to put a stop to it ourselves.

These cowards are going to be hailed as heros in the Islamic religion. In my opinion, applying the word "religion" to these scumbags is offensive. They define evil.

It is usually possible, given the effort, to put yourself in
someone else's shoes, and find some justification for
their behavior. But I cannot for the life of me understand
the mindset that would murder without warning thousands
of innocents. Our own humanity makes retaliation
in kind seem unlikely.

The frustration I feel is similar to what I felt when the
Soviets downed the Korean airliner.  How could we
hope to defeat a system so merciless, powerful,
and dedicated to our destruction?  I thank god today
for Ronald Reagan.  I wish he were still in office.

Remember last eletion when we conjectured that the Jews of NY State would never vote for Hitlery as she was so obviously pro-Palestine (she and her Arafat-loving husband)? Gosh, I haven't heard a word from her (and I hope we never do!) and she supposedly represents the State.

The dumos in Congress are already criticising Bush for "not knowing this was going to happen!" Words fail me! On top of those liberal fools, we have to stomach the asinine comments of Jennings and Couric making snide remarks about Bush. Down with the commie libs in Congress and the media and their agenda!

I have only watched Fox news, so I don't
know what the liberal take is on this, yet.
One would think we all should have the
same reaction and shock.  A nation
surviving WWII with no damage to the
homeland, wrapped in blankets of ocean,
with the mightiest military on the planet,
ever ready to dictate tolerance for terrorists
bedeviling the rest of the world, suddenly
finds herself bloodied by primitivist
fanatics who consume themselves in
the blaze, leaving flies to swat, bodies
to bury, and, at last, a rent in the
curtain of  invincibility.

Then they can die.

They MUST take steps to fight terror, or they must be crushed.

We can reinstate the Shah's son in Iran, and set up similar secular dictatorships across the Muslim world. We have a chance at replicating the success we've had with Turkey, on a grand scale. Moderate Muslims are fine people, we will have no trouble getting along with them.

The Israelis have my permission to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the Earth along with any other Islamic fundamentalist son of a bitch that stands in the way. Hell, they can also lynch that filthy bitch NY Senator that kissed the Palestinians' murdering asses. You remember her, the wife of that traitor that gave nuclear missiles and weapons to the communists who in turn sold them to terrorist rogue nations throughout the world, especially the Mideast. That bastard should be hung, shot, and drawn and quartered.
