October 14, 2001 -- The millionaire Saudi prince whose gift of $10 million for World Trade Center relief was returned by Mayor Giuliani said yesterday that "Jewish pressures" prompted the rejection.

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal saw his donation to the Sept. 11 relief fund rejected Thursday, after Giuliani said he didn't want the money because of statements the prince made about U.S. foreign policy.

OK, let's look at the root cause of all of this. The root cause of this is a man who wants to be king. He's a small man who fled into a desert country and attempted to set up his own kingdom. He's filthy rich. Did he use his money to improve the lot of the people around him? No. Did he use his money to bring jobs and prosperity to his people? No. Did he use his money to care for the widows and orphans of a war torn country? No.

This man now claims his interests included the plight of the Palestinian people. Did he use his money to help any of them? No. Did he gather up the finest minds in the Arab world to help to build anything in Palestine? No. So, then, what does all this tell us about the root of the problem?

The root of this problem is evil, pure unadulterated evil.

Christina Amopour (SIC) on CNN interviewing Arabs, 13 Oct 01. Let the record be accurate I am very much pro-American, First. Isreal is our friend and should be considered such and protected. I did not say I believed the statement, I merely wanted discussion. Not diatribes. It is unfortunate if we in Free republic, only discuss safe topics. It seems some doth protesttoo much. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Those that care to question my motives or loyalty, ought to question their own. Mr record of service will stand any test.

4. The Jews may not be high in number but somehow they are the cause of all the world's problems, and control the US

(Slapping FITZ repeatedly)

NO, NO, NO!! How many times do we have to go over this, dangit?? Get this through your thick head:

"The WORLD", FITZ!! Not just the U.S.! Now, one more freakin' time, for cryin' out loud---

"The Jews may not be high in number but somehow they are the cause of all the world's problems, and control the WORLD! The ENTIRE WORLD!" Muaaaah-hahaha!

You're the one 'protesting too much', slime. You claim you "heard it on the news" and completely neglect to mention that it was Arab interviewees you heard saying it. THEY'RE the ones without a source. They know nothing about the World Trade Center, they're parroting what THEY'VE been told, as should be obvious to the most limited intelligence among us. Yet you come here "innocently" and say "I heard there sure weren't many JEWS in that wreckage, hope there's no truth to those nasty rumors that they knew all about it and didn't tell anyone, and what about that JEW that said he was glad he wasn't there?"

I told you about that "JEW" (any particular reason you thought the designation deserved all caps?)--that his brother was among those who died. I notice you didn't respond to MY post, only accused everyone else of ad hominem attacks without responding to their accusations. Apparently you only consider certain types of responses "safe".

You're as transparent as glass--not clever enough to be as subtle as most "(Blame Israel and)America Firsters", and you got much less than you deserved.

None of the victims had Jewish sounding names.

Labyrinthos--this is not directed at you.

Just what is a Jewish sounding name? Something from the Bible, like EBENEEZER Scrooge, or JERIMIAH Johnson? Or is it a German name, like Goldblum, Feingeld, or Stein, Fein, or Wein? Don't forget the Blums, Felds, and Baums. How come Jackie Mason is Jewish, but not George Mason? Shecky Green is a Jew, but not Nathaniel Greene, American patriot general.

I don't think there is such a definative thing as a Jewish name.

Additionally, if I as a American can also be a Christian, why can't another American be a Jew? I'm Catholic, but owe allegience to only the USA, not Rome. I think it's kind of insulting to imply or state that an American Jew owes allegience to Israel OVER America. And don't tell me about Jonathan Pollard. That traitor's in jail, where he belongs.

"You should know by now that any comment which is in any way uncomplimentary towards Israel will lead to immediate ad-hominen attacks against the poster."

Do you honestly believe that there is even a 0.0001% chance that what this poster said was true? This story is popular on Radio Islam.

Oh yes, I just never listened close enough to that Arab propaganda. The few Jews in the world live in Israel and a few other places. They control all of the US which controls the rest of the world. THAT is how the Jews cause ALL the problems for the Muslims. Even though it was the Muslims that have all the oil $$ billions and don't learn to read or work. It's the Jews fault.

What some people (pacifists and others) seem to believe is that if we would just let the Muslims kill all the Jews like they want, then there will no longer be Jews for them to want to kill and they will then leave us and the rest of the world alone. We just need to give Osama what he wants and he'll be nice to us from now on.

That is exactly what I was thinking...I saw this dirt bag on Larry King (I know I'm sorry), and I kept thinking about how insincere this @sshole was acting. He looked like a criminal returning to the scene of a crime.

"I was not trying to be amusing my rude friend. Please supply some evidence insread of sarcasm!"

Wow, you're quite a nasty piece of work. You come out with a "The Jews Knew!" type unfounded accusation, and then you demand that others come up with "evidence" to debunk your bunk?

It seems like he gave you some good advice. The quality of your workmanship since then would seem to demonstrate that you did not take his advice.

How sad.

What were the words to the song that "The Tinfoil Man" sang in The Wizard of Oz? If I Only Had A... something or other.

Oops, mea culpa. That was the Tin Man, wasn't it.

Mr. Saudi Prince thinks so little of Americans that he cannot conceive that Mayor Giuliani could actually have given back the check of his own accord. Some Saudi princes think they can insult people and make it up by throwing money in their faces. They have been doing it to their own people for years, living a corrupt life and then giving billions to Islamic militants, saying in effect, "forget it", the way a Wise Guy would treat a cheap whore.

Both Osama Bin Laden and Mr. Saudi Prince think Americans are just like the servents they all grew up with. Slap them and pay them off. That black radical was right: we have been n*ggerized by the WTC.

You just triggered an old memory.

Way Back When, I had a camera store in a small midwestern kollej town. For some odd reason, I seemed to attract the bulk of the "middle eastern" trade. (There were a remarkable number of Arabian and Iranian students attending.)

The stereotype of the "Arab horse trader" is indeed accurate. I speak from personal experience! Of course, since "my people" come from er, uh, "the other side of the river", it's in my blood too. :)

Anyhow, one event stuck in my mind, and you just evoked it to the fore. This guy came into the shop with his pal (or cousin?) and wanted to buy a couple of lenses and so forth. A decent size sale. He dickered and dickered and dickered and dickered, and finally agreed on a price.

I go to write up the sale and package up the goods, and I turn around, and he's writing a check. He hands it to me, and it's for a chunk of change less than the agreed upon amount!

I say hey, that's not what we agreed to. He puts on this cocky smirk, and says, "I think that's good enough. That's enough money for it."

It becomes clear that he's enjoying showing off for his companion -- getting his licks in, making the yankee yidboy take whatever Ahmed was willing to toss his way.

So I say nope, you're gonna have to pay what we agreed on.

He says, "But I've already written the check! Here, take it, it's enough."

I shake my head in disgust, tear the sales slip in half, and put the merchandise back in the showcase.

The guy about sh*t his robes.

A few minutes later, I was saying "Have a nice day!" as the two of them left with the goods, after he wrote out another check for the full amount.

These folks really have a bit of an attitude thing. It's cultural. And unless you really lay down the law, they'll take you to the cleaners.

So many neo-Nazi-tinfoil-hat-wearing-anti-semitic-Jew-baiting-conspiracy-"Jews-Own-The-Banking-System-And-Control-The-World"-Hitler-admiring-hateful-brownshirts, so little time.

You noticed that too? For the past week or two it's been like a sh*twagon full of back issues of Der Spotlighten crashed into a busload of CAIR members.

"Well yes, that certainly isn't a nice thing that happened, but did anyone ever mention to you that the Jews are behind it all? Have you got a few hours? I can explain it all in painful detail. It all began when..."

"Bin Laden is actually an undercover Mossad agent and probably a Freemason, too."

Well of course he is, everyone knows that. His real name is Izzie ben Levine.

The real point of pride, though, is how he has all those schmata-kopf talibastards running around in circles killing themselves. Of course, It Is Written in the Protocols of the Lazy Elders of Jocelyn that exactly such a thing would happen, unless America returned to its true Islamic roots.

"I heard on "THE OTHER NEWS STATION" last night That there were few JEWs among the unfortunate victims at WTC."

That is totally false. You are a blithering idiot to even state such a thing. Jeezus, what a bunch of friggin dinks are now appearing on this heretofore decent and respectable forum! Crawl back under your CNN rock and pound sand!

Nice little job there of wrapping yourself in the flag and proclaiming your virtue.

Of course, there's still the little matter of your having made an absurd unsubstantiated claim, and then asserted that unless others could come up with "evidence" to challenge it, it would stand.

Kinda like me saying that "There are Jews with a secret base on the Moon, where they extract oxygen from the blood of unbaptized white aryan babies," and then, when challenged on it, quip that "If you want to prove me wrong, then come up with some evidence! Until then, shut up with your lies!"

The owner of the WTC is a Jew, why didn't Israel tell him?

When Israel was attacked by all the countries surrounding her, all at once, she did NOT have to call in the U.S. to save her. Right? But when Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were attacked by Iraq, they were unable to defend themselves. They had to call on the U.S. to save their butts from a fellow Islamic nation! Hoo-boy! No wonder the prince is pissed at Israel!

The Muslims have a saying...

First the Saturday people then the Sunday people.

The Nazis also went for the Jews first.
