Darn it ... it just isn't fair when the Israeli's hit back.

[wotan]

Desribing Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as "a man of peace"

Nothing so quiet and peaceful as a dead Palestinian. Right, Ariel?

[lepton]

Terje Roed-Larsen, who toured the Jenin refugee camp on Thursday, said it was "morally repugnant" that Israel had not allowed emergency workers in for 11 days to provide humanitarian relief.

Ummm. Wasn't the other side shooting too?

RE:Palestinians claim hundreds of bodies are buried beneath the rubble,
 
And we should of course, eat this up, seeing as how it comes from people who are members of a culture that regard lying as a virtue.

[tet68]

At least you don't have to worry about them blowing up.

[joltinjoe]

Europeans are generally morally repugnant.

[Dead Dog]

If so, than maybe peace is worth fighting for.

[McGavin999]

I find these comments morally repugnant. Not ONE of these people had a thing to say about the site at WTC. If they want to see something devestating they should have looked at that, but did any one of them bother? They want to talk about the stench of death? How about the stench of dozens of people blasted to pieces in Israel. How is it these moral lizards never bother to speak about that?

What totally repulsive human beings.

Mr. Roed-Larsen also said:

"I am watching two brothers pull their father from the ruins, the stench of death is horrible. We are seeing a 12-year-old boy being dug out, totally burned," he said. "We have expert people here who have been in war zones and earthquakes and they say they have never seen anything like it," he added.

I assume Mr. Roed-Larsen didn't visit New York last fall.

[grimalkin]

It's strange how the BBC never described the suicide bombings of Israeli civilians and the carnage at the WTC as "horrific beyond belief". I won't be holding my breath in anticipation.

[Sabramerican]

A reporter for CBS this evening, in his piece, inadvertently explained this and the entire Arab/Israeli conflict as seen by the media.

What's the truth? "It doesn't matter" because the Arabs believe.

Truth doesn't matter, folks.

Black is white, up is down, night is day, right is wrong. Doesn't matter.

If the Arabs believe Mossad took down the WTC, that Jews eat blood pastries, that there ever was a "Palestinian" people or a "Palestinian" state, that there are massacres every where and anywhere they lose a battle, that the US is the great Satan, that all us infidels should die- well tough, live with it. It's what they believe- and that's good enough.

[TheDon]

Peace is made by destroying one's enemies.

[MissAmericanPie]

"The multinational force should be assembled by countries willing to supply troops and should have "a robust mandate," he said, adding later, "I expect the United States to play an important role."

Guess again Pal, it ain't happening.

[Brett66]

So the pali propagandists gave AI the nickel tour and AI soaked it all up. Maybe the palis would be so horrified that they would condemn homicide bombers and seek true peace. Nah, they love their role as terrorists too much.

[Stirner]

Let's accept for a moment the recent claim that 300 buildings have been bull-dozed, rendering 2000 people homeless. The generally accepted population of the Jenin Camp is 13,000. If Israelis were intent or (or slid into) wanton carnage, there would have been a lot more destruction than that. There is clear evidence (unless the Israelis fabricated it) that weapons for attacks on civilians were stored, assembled, and manufactured in the camp, in many separate locations. If you have to knock down 5 dwellings of innocent bystanders to get access to a bomb factory down a narrow lane where armor will not fit, that's the contingencies of war and the innocent bystanders are regrettable but unavoidable victims of the misdeeds of their neighbors. 300 destroyed dwellings doesn't sound like a lot to me, it sounds like a surgical thrust, sparing as much a possible. Don't even get me started on how much damage booby-traps may have caused. A friend asked me how I could imagine that Palestinians would damage their own. My reply was that if they were too weak to kill their enemies, they might kill some of their own if, by doing so, they could make the Israelis look bad.

RE:I assume Mr. Roed-Larsen didn't visit New York last fall.
 
I don't know about that but it wouldn't surprize me if he was flat out making stuff up.
And if it is true it wouldn't surprize me if, when the evacuation order was given, these savages went and locked a few token women and children in rooms inside these buildings just to generate a body count for sympathy's sake.

Genocide is cute as long as it happens to the other team, eh? SICK.
