BBC News Ticker reports breaking news "Fighting has broken out near Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity"
Even if I believed that there was an Israeli grip on the US as strong as you suggest (and I DO NOT) i would not voice it here. that I have survived five years on Freerepublic without being banned is no small accomplishment. Even today I got a warning from JR WRT another poster. (he doesn't like me - I 'bother' him)
Opposition to Israeli policies and actions on freerepublic is a dicey endeavor. One 'lives' on the edge.
If the Israelis could get the United States to get those prisoners out of the Church of the Nativity for them, don't you think they would have asked by now?
Or was your post intended to be a joke?
Let me guess. You're an Arab Islamic fascist feinging to be an American but actually you're in a tent in the Saudi desert complete with a gas powered generator so you can hook up your computer and pick at your keys all day bashing Israel.
You would have been kissing their Islamic feet and welcoming them with open arms.
OMG! You ARE psychic! I'm glad that I just had my tent repainted. I must look my best for you
I'm the red neck hippie From out at Gold Hill I still find life's A pretty big thrill. Live in a tent And cook off a fire I fix everything With Bailing wire. Well I went into town One fine day With a pocket full of money For my bills to pay I hit ol' Ma Bell And gave 'er some cash She smiled at me Quick as a flash I crossed the street And settled with Sears And hit the pub For two quick beers. Well I canvassed the town a-covering my debts I still had cash for Cigarettes When I went on home Feelin' mighty proud! Well I grabbed my wife An I gave 'er a squeeze She said, Phil, Excuse me, please But the mailman just delivered this stack of bills!!! I said,"honey that can't be so. I paid 'em not more'n an hour ago And on top of that I paid 'em th' month before. Well I grabbed them bill's and I give 'em a fling I went outside and sat in th' swing and rolled me a joint 'Cuz I'm th' red neck hippie from Out at gold Hill I still find life's A pretty big thrill I live in a tent I cook off a fire I fix everything With bailin' wire (Aaaarabs caint do such) ass***e!
Now he can get the giant PR boost (especially in fortifying his status amongst his own people) from the U.S. playing supplicant to him plus he can get the European Roman Catholics stirred up against Israel by torching the church (and Europe is already blaming Israel for Palestinian murders holing up there). Beautiful. Master of the Big Lie.
He's playing us like a Stradivarius.
But haven't you heard? Already on day one, a PLO policeman named Samir called from inside the church, insisting that all the terrorists' ammunition was used up. And Pali policemen never lie!
If it were only our call the terrorists would already have surrendered, like their friends did when the Israelis threatened to "start fighting like Americans". We have credibility about using massive firepower and **** the hostages.
The Israelis don't because they're Jewish. But they'll get over that.
Except when you post here.
Man, some people are downright stiff upstairs. You don't think that the 200 Moslems who blew down the door to the church were just wanting to show their nice shiny AK47's to the priest and nuns and line up for baptisms do you? Ah, they were tourists and just favor guns over camaras, er, They heard the good Father had a bat problem in his bellfry and all rushed over with their machineguns to help the poor priests out. You think perhaps the Franciscans might just want to keep the Priests and Nuns alive? If they put out one unfavorable report those people are dead and the church is gone. Perhaps not today, but Arafat has a very long memory. The 4 monks that got out had quite the different story, but why believe them, they are only eye witnesses and ex-hostages.
