The Arafat Apologists

| I am fatigued with the inconsistencies of the apologists for Palestinian terrorists. On the one hand, a group of people are deliberately strapping bombs on young people and encouraging them to kill innocent civilians. On the other hand, an army that represents an elected Democratic government is striving to protect their nation from suicidal bombers. To deny that Palestinian terrorists are just as much terrorists as the 9-11 murderers is sophistry. To pretend that any Nation, including the Nation of Israel, has no right to protect its borders is lunacy. What do we expect from Israel? Suicide from inaction? Iraq is now offering twenty-five thousand dollars to any family willing to sacrifice a kid to be a suicidal bomber. Where is the equation between military personnel (on meager salaries) trying to interdict terrorism in THEIR country and suicidal maniacs who think they are going to get 72 virgins for murdering Jews? The apologists can call them proponents of a Jihad or even "freedom fighters" if they wish. I shall call what they are doing exactly what it is - a reign of terror perpetrated by terrorists bent on driving every Jew in Israel into the sea. Never mind that these cockroaches were offered ninety-five to ninety-seven percent of their "wish list" and they turned it down. Their public protestations are lies. They obviously do not want what they tell they world they want and anyone who subscribes to their propaganda is naive. According to portions of Arafat's biography (in an online report by Good Morning America), this is the REAL Yasser Arafat, the leader of the militant Palestinians: Yasser Arafat YASSER ARAFAT came before the U.N. General Assembly in 1972 with an Arafat was born in 1929 to a successful merchant father and a religiously devoted "For our part, we will honor our commitments. ... [O]ur participation in the great peace process means that we are betting everything on the future." Arafat, on the signing of an accord in September 1995 to extend Palestinian Rule in the West Bank After the war, Arafat studied civil engineering at the University of Cairo. He headed the Palestinian Students League and, by the time he graduated, was committed to forming a group that would free Palestine from Israeli occupation. In 1956 he founded Al Fatah, an underground terrorist organization. At first Al Fatah was ignored by larger Arab nations such as Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, which had formed their own group - the Palestine Liberation Organization. It wasn't until the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, when the Arabs lost the Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and West Bank, that Arab nations turned to Arafat. In 1968 he became the leader of the PLO. "I don't know anyone who has as much civilian Jewish blood on his hands as Arafat since the Nazis' time." Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, October 1995 For two decades the PLO launched bloody attacks on Israel, and Arafat gained a reputation as a ruthless terrorist. But by 1988, when he told the United Nations that the PLO would recognize Israel as a sovereign state, Arafat had warmed to diplomacy. Then in 1993, the unthinkable happened. The terrorist leader, who had rarely been seen without his signature ghutra and scruffy beard, met with his avowed enemies. The secret peace talks in Norway led to the Oslo Peace Accords with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin. The agreement granted limited Palestinian self-rule and earned Arafat, Rabin and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize. In January 1996 Arafat was elected the first president of the The following essay was written in 1988, only a couple of years Before the murder of Rabbi Kahane by an Arab terrorist, Egyptian-born El Sayyid Nosair, who not only was convicted of the murder but also of conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Israel Today & Always: Dear World by Rabbi Meir Kahane "....You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset. Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel. In 1920, 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered hundreds of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron - in 1929. Dear World, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots in 1936-39? Was it because of Arab upset over 1967? And when you, World, proposed a U.N. Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a Palestinian State alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that upset stomach caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of upset then? The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who - when they had all the territories they now demand be given them for their state - attempted to drive the Jewish State into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "idbah-al-yahud" - "Slaughter the Jews!" that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today - but we should not 'repress' them. Dear World, you stood by the Holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction. And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians daily dream of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well - think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less. Back To Israel Today & Always" === It is past time for Israel to take the measures necessary to halt terrorism in their own country. The price of doing any less may be the death of the nation of Israel. Survival as a nation is the only option for the Jews and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks. Remember the Jordanian response to Palestinian terrorism? They made no apologies to the world for their war on the nasty, murderous Palestinian cockroaches. They had it right and it is time for Israel to emulate them.

That's *Barbie* doll. :)
OK, let's try again…
KILL ALL THOSE PALI TERRORISTS!
Are all the Arabs terrorists? If so, then your logic applies.
Not too bright, are you?
Ok. In .net usage, there is a term called "twit-list". It has other names too of course, but "twit-list" is very common. It comes originally from usenet, where you can (if you have a decent mailer) set up a list with individuals too stupid or just too plain insane to bother with, so that the mailer will filter away their cretinous output before you even get to read it. Do you follow me so far, butterball, or have you had your head banged one too many times?
The normal signal that you have achieved an entry into someones twit-list is this: *PLONK*.
Now scat. I have to de-twit the thread manually, not using a mailer or anything, so just don't talk to me and all will be well.
*PLONK*
And you and Askel5 are blinded by your own honesty, purity of heart or whatever. I keep wanting to shout: "Wake up Parsifal!! Don't you know by now what Cachelot is?
Why, oh why, do you continue to squirm under the taunts of an Islamofascist?
At first I suspected it of being a frustrated Arabist trapped in the bowels of the State Department who was on a personal crusade to blacken the reputation of American Zionists. But as Cachelot's methods turned more heavy-handed and obvious it became clear that he is a more-than-usually-sophisticated islamist working a psy ops on Free Reupblic.
Every time you squeal in outrage he probably gets a bonus from the Saudis.
Can't you see how this Cachelot plays the kind of stereotypical racist Jew that probably informs every madrass on the Pakistani border? (Fundie schools no doubt funded by big-hearted Uncle Sam--it's for the children, after all.)
The gleeful anti-Christian, anti-American qualities in his posts are a very cunning filigree added to the basic form. After all, many Christians and Americans hang out in the FreeRepublic saloon and tonsorial parlor..
An investigation would probably reveal that "Cachelot" is a caricature "Jew" drawn on cracked chalk-boards in make-shift schools all across the poverty-sticken green crescent.
Oh dear ... if it weren't such an absolute joy to behold, I'd covet your imagination.
Yes according to my logic all of that is justified. Now did you see Mexican blowing themselves to protest the bad old USA occupying Texas? You need to remember, we are the USA, the biggest power, the best democracy, on this planet. Israel, on the other hand is a religiously obsessed little country of few millions in the mist of 200 million savages.
