PM Sharon To Bush: 'Don't Appease The Arabs At Our Expense'

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon held a press conference last night following the downing of the Russian passenger plane over the Black Sea - which took off from Israel's Ben Gurion Int'l airport with mostly Israelis on board - and in the wake of the deadly Arab terrorist attack in Afula which claimed the lives of three Israeli citizens.

Sharon said: "Today a Russian plane en route from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, carrying 66 passengers and 12 crewmen, went down. This is a terrible tragedy for both Israel and Russia. I spoke today with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and we agreed on full cooperation between Israel and Russia in investigating this tragic incident. I have also instructed Israel's Minister of Transportation, Dr. Ephraim Sneh, to coordinate activities in this regard."

"Today, Israel suffered another heinous Palestinian terrorist attack [in Afula], which took a heavy toll: Three dead and seven wounded. All our efforts to reach a cease-fire have been torpedoed by the Palestinians. The fire did not cease, not even for one day. The Cabinet has therefore instructed our security forces to take all necessary measures to bring full security to the citizens of Israel. We can rely on ourselves only."

"We are currently in the midst of a complex and difficult political campaign. I call on the Western democracies, and primarily the leader of the free world, the United States: Do not repeat the dreadful mistake of 1938, when enlightened European democracies decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for 'a convenient temporary solution.' Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense - this is unacceptable to us. Israel will not be Czechoslovakia. Israel will fight terrorism."

"There is no 'good terrorism' and 'bad terrorism,' as there is no 'good murder' and 'bad murder.' Terrorism, as we witnessed this week in Elei Sinai, is worse than murder. We have been fighting terrorism for over 100 years. Unfortunately, there is no swift and immediate solution, but if we confront this terrorism united, we will be able to overcome it and bring peace. And we shall overcome."

Since the Prime Minister's speech last night, more details surrounding the downing of the passenger plane have been uncovered. While conflicting reports continue to emanate from the Russian media regarding the recovered cockpit of the plane, Russian authorities released an official statement today saying that the door to the cockpit had holes in it which resemble those of bullets. Further examination is necessary to verify that the holes were caused by bullets.

United States officials say that the plane was apparently downed accidentally by a surface-to-air missile during a large-scale Ukrainian military exercise. But, Ukraine says that the plane was far out of range of any missiles used in the exercise.

Sixteen bodies have been pulled from the water. An Israel Air Force Hercules cargo flight with search and recovery teams on board is still awaiting the necessary permits to enable it to takeoff and join the rescue efforts in the Black Sea. An Israel Navy ship will also join the search early next week.

BUMP!

[Inyokern]

If the truth ever gets out, Americans will hang their heads in shame for financially supporting this ugly colonization.

I thought you said before that you supported President Bush's foreign policy. Changing your tune?

Bump...

Hear! Hear!

If that's your idea of an argument, you'd better stick to drawing up plea bargains!

[ladyinred]

Please explain to me how the land that Israel occupies belongs to Arafat and his followers. Details please.

[mrustow]

Next thing, you'll say the Jews attacked us on 911. Come on, I know you want to say it! You've already got the "world Jewish conspiracy" shtick cooking. Do you really think Jews will surrender to the likes of you or your Nazi friends?

Sharon Warns Bush: Do Not Attack Israel

The rule is: DO NOT CHANGE HEADLINES OF ARTICLES TO FIT YOUR OWN STUPID-*SS NOTION.

This has got to be the single most outrageous piece of dirty mudslinging that I've seen here on FR in many months. You're a pig.

[Israel]

There is a danger.  The link is just one warning sign.

Behind The American Condemnation

[Jorge]

An announcement released Friday by the Prime Minister's Office stated that Sharon expressed his appreciation for the deep friendship and the special relationship shared by the U.S. and Israel, in particular with President George W. Bush.

What else could he say? Israel has to be grateful that the most powerful nation on earth is on it's side.

Sharon's point about us compromising in order to build our anti-terrorist coalition, is well taken. BUT to compare us with Europe sacrificing east European nations to Hitler is a bit extreme and hysterical.

Its Not Faith, But Law

Any "government" that refuses to recognize lawfull contracts, is a terrorist organization.

There is a published contract for the land of Israel.  Accept it and get over it.

Paging: John Ashcroft, call "anti-trust".

[imperator2]

Hey darling. Uglyness is yours to judge. Jusr remember America was attacked by dastardly IsLAMEic extremist. We are at war with them. Support your country in it's time of need.

Also, Israel is here to stay. Arabs cannot destroy it. When Israel's patience runs out,(which should be very soon,)they will drive the Palestinians across the Jordan, into Egypt and Lebanon.

Arab forces will gather, and the nuclear bombs will reach Cairo, Damascus, Amman, Bagdhad, and Teheran, and Mecca for good luck.

The biblical prophecies will come true. The world will not be be habitable for anyone. All because the Arabs are not willing to let a few million jews reclaim their Biblical land and reside in a tiny sliver of land among enormous Arab landmass.

This is the future, unless the Arabs accept Israel, there is no other scenario.

Rule: War Requires Declaration!

Too bad some of you never get it till its over.

We warned:

On June 28, 2001, Col. Cuppett was advised of, "a serious report of plans to allow UN police units to patrol US international airports in the event of an Arab-Israeli war in the Middle East." These troops will also be placed at nine European airports and will be used to derail an Israeli "call-up of reservists for military duty." Further, the UN will prevent ships carrying reservists from sailing for Israel.

At present, you have:

Armed National Guard patrols expanded Friday to dozens of airports large and small around the country, including Boston's Logan and Newark, where planes were hijacked Sept. 11.

So, who are those UN troops anyway?  "American"?
