When I heard of this, I thought that was so preposterous and , I was in shock.
But it appears that there is nothing new under the sun.
My italics did not work; sorry.
This drives me crazy.Arafat was thrown out of two countries for doing the same thing he is doing now.Why doesnt anyone remember this when writing and defending articles like this one? It just boggles the mind.One way or another it would appear things are coming to a head.I will always believe that Israel has the moral high ground and I know in my heart that the followers of Allah are wrong.The passover bombing enraged me.I want it to end now with Arafat pushing up daisys in a paupers grave and the people calling themselves Palestinians exiled to Jan Mayen Land.I dont know why this topic angers me,Im a catholic and have never stepped foot in Israel.I have however,lived in Saudi Arabia and thats where my dislike for Islam comes from I guess.Bottom line,Israel needs to end it now.
Realllyyyyy......
Some view it that way. But this is not being done in the name of religion. That is secondary. True, most Palestinians are Muslim, but some aren't, and most [80%] Israelis are Jewish. They all are doing this in the name of nationalism, and they are doing this to try to destroy Israel or to preserve it. The country, not the religion. Excepting zealots on both sides, but that isn't everyone.
Security deposit - Thank you. Bye-bye!
If they really learn their lesson it will be them who rise up and kill Arafat. They better hurry, though.
The Pali tolerance to any any ANY disagreement is zero tolerance. They better do it with a few buddies without telling anybody first.
They should sign up for a bomb belt and then go out and really help the cause blowing up Arghafat and his monster closest core club.
Now he'll have to find new sex partners for his barking an humping bouts as video taped by Chaosescu's chief of security on his visits there.
That was exactly my thought and sentiment when I read it.
Terrorist #2: "No, you first, I don't want Arafat's job, I have a family, you know."
Terrorist #3: "Hey, guys, don't look at me!"
Terrorist #4: "I vote for you, Abdul. You're like a father to me."
Terrorist #1: "Thanks, but no thanks. Clearly Muhammed is the best man for the job. He has a kevlar vest which he appropriated from an Israeli some time back."
Terrorist #2: "You can have it, it is really too small for me. I hear that Khalid is ten foot tall and bullet proof, perhaps we should ask him."
Terrorist #3: "Perhaps, except Khalid blew himself up prematurely while a week ago while on his way to a bat Mitzvah. He was not nailproof, sad to say. And he is no longer ten feet tall, but rather he is a pink streak on the road about twenty feet long."
Terrorist #4: "I know! Let's talk a GIRL into doing it for us! The west will sympathize with a woman and she could do no wrong in their eyes. Look how far Arafat got with his looks. A woman would make the west swoon. They would never drive her into a basement where she would not have access to Pamprin or Midol."
Terrorist #1: "Hey, she could even change her hair color to blonde, learn to ask really softball questions, and get hired by Fox to carry water for us with Geraldo."
Terrorist #2: "Not a bad idea, but you have given us an even better idea. why not ask Geraldo? He thinks we are right and he also has experience with reporting from basements..."
But you know what? I don't really care how it went down. The Israelies know how the Pali's treat their troops if they capture them, they kill them in as bloody a manner as possible, then show off their own blood stained hands to the crowd.
Im a catholic and have never stepped foot in Israel. I am asking myself the same thing regarding... the Gypsies. I have learned only recently, over the last few years, the full extent of the persecution, to which the world subjected these people. Just like Jews, they were expelled from Spain in 1492, just like Jews, they were literally exterminated by the Nazis. In Romania they were legally enslaved for centuries --- until about 1880. Unlike Jews, many of them are not educated and lack spokespeople, so we know little about the atrocities purpetrated against them. My heart literally aches when I read new, or recall previously read, specific accounts...
And sometimes I ask myself the same question: I am not a Gypsy; I never has a Roma (Gypsy) friend; the last time I came into contact with one --- in Seville, Spain --- she tried to make me part with my money. So why do I feel so deeply?
And the only answer that comes to mind, "because what was done to them for centuries was terribly wrong."
I am not trying to put words in your mouth, but this is how I undertand your posts, too: unlike many of our present-day fellow countrymen, you are bothered by evil. Thank you and G-d bless.
Have a wonderful and peaceful Easter Holiday.

Actually what they don't have is a unique language or culture. They are Arabs, they speak Arabic and aside from a few minor regional differences, which they share with nearby Arab countries such as Jordon, Iraq and Syria, they keep Arabic and Muslim cultural traditions, mostly they are Jordanian, although the same coments apply to Jordians, but "General" (same kind as Sadamn presumably) Arafat is Egyptian.
