This is a part of the horrible cost paid for our governments unwillingness to produce our own, so, again, mainly, the blood is on American liberal hands (regardless of affiliation).

When we’re producing enough more of our own and Islam is feeling the effects of supply and demand, Muslim nations will eliminate the radical menace themselves.

Excellent post, Gary!

Let me add that if more people like yourself stood up and condemned the anti-Semitic radicals on college campuses, maybe it would help both the colleges and the government, which draws upon the college elites for personnel, realize that there can be no negotiating with terrorists who murder children, and that the Palestinians have forfeited any right to a ‘two-state solution’.

For decades now, the US has tried to achieve some sort of a diplomatic balance in the Middle East and achieve a peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. A noble goal, perhaps, but I don’t think it is possible.

For all of my adult life, I have been reading about one Palestinian act of terror after another. There were the plane hijackings after the 1967 war. There was the Munich Olympics massacre. There were terror attacks on the Rome and Vienna airports, in which innocent Europeans were killed. There was the Achille Lauro boat hijacking in the 1980s in which Leon Klinghofer, an elderly American Jew in a wheelchair, was murdered and dumped overboard. Why was he singled out? Because he was an American Jew.

As the years passed,there were more plane hijackings, including one in Lebanon in which an American servicemen was killed in cold blood. There was the bombing of the American Embassy in Beirut and the Marine barracks in Lebanon.

In the past few years, we have witnessed the suicide bombings in Israel that have killed so many innocents on buses and in pizza parlors.

On 9-11, Palestinians danced in the streets, just as they are dancing in the streets at today’s news of 8 seminary students being murdered in Israel.

In addition, Palestinians cannot even live peacefully with each other, as one faction kills the other over control of “Palestine”.

I could write all night about the long list of senseless violent acts by Palestinians, and I would still leave out numerous outrages.

Tonight, I am asking myself- why does one American administration after another try so hard to bring about peace between Israel and people who do not want peace? The fact is that Palestinians do not want peace. They do not want a two-state solution. They want it all, and they want Israelis/Jews either killed or driven into the sea or exile. They, like their Arab brethren in neighboring lands, cannot accept the idea of a Jewish state in the region. What they want is for all of the area to become Palestine.

But if there is a two-state agreement, what kind of state would this Palestine be? A sovereign entity that will work to undermine its neighbor inch by inch? A state that will make deals and alliances with Iran, Libya and Syria? Will it be, in effect, a terrorist state that will conspire with America’s enemies even while we pour in aid? I think the answer is clear.

The truth is that the Palestinians are no friends of ours, and we should stop pretending they are.

Sorry folks, you can call me a racist all you want, but I have concluded that these people are not capable of running a responsible and peaceful country. If I am proved wrong, I will apologize.

The truth is that the Middle East could have had two states back in 1948. That was the UN plan. It was rejected by the Arabs, who quickly went to war-and were defeated. They tried again in 1967 and 1973 and failed. So the Palestinians resort to killing innocents-women, old men and children. How courageous.

And what is the reaction of the World? The Europeans tremble in their boots, held hostage by their already volatile Muslim populations and their need for oil. The UN is openly hostile of Israel and condemns every act of self-defense or retaliation carried out by the Israelis. When Israel retaliates against this latest act of terror-as it will and should, the UN will pass another resolution condemning the Jewish state. To most of the Europeans and the UN, the Jews are always the “inconvenient people”, standing in the way of friendly relations with the oil producing countries. Ironically, the Germans, given their unfortunate history, are probably Israel’s best friend in Europe.

Here at home, we are allowing new generations of Muslim immigrants and their anti-American anarchist allies on college campuses to stir up racial hatred, not only against Israel, but against Jews-and against our own country as long as we support Israel’s right to exist. On university campuses, Muslim Student groups hold regular rallies and bring in hate-filled speakers to denounce Israel, Jews and America, glorifying suicide bombers. My own campus at UC Irvine is a classic example. Just this week, the MSU is sponsoring yet another anti-Israel event with the usual suspects of radical speakers like Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Mohammed Al-Ali-documented anti-Semites. They are being joined in their tirades by a few radical professors. Meanwhile, the administration and faculty hide under their desks and talk about free speech-also taking verbal shots at those who dare to criticize.

So what do we do? Do we in the spirit of expediency, allow the Israeli people and nation to be thrown under the bus and ignore the murderous outrages? I say no.

It is time that the US, Europe and all nations who care about common decency and civilized behavior take a stand for Israel. No cause can justify the slaughter of innocents.

Personally, at this point, I don’t care much what Israel does to protect its people against this wanton murder. I will support them. If and when the Israeli Defence Force succeeds in wiping out the terrorists, once and for all, I will be dancing in the street.

What is that child learning?

The Israelis are stuck, because the Hamas thugs are firing rockets into Israel from ’safe’ houses, using women and children as shields. To take the attackers out means killing the shields.

Is there an alternative to re-occupying Gaza, or carpet-bombing the place?

Maybe: Go after the Hamas leadership, steadily, constantly, effectively, publicly. Turn off the power. Stop the supplies.

And it’s time for George W. Bush to go after Iran, the puppet-masters of Hamas, Hezbellah, and the Palestinians. Take out their leadership.

Would like to hear what Savage said. Thanks!

Most welcome! ;-)

A religious psychopath brave, brave jihadi struck back at Zionist-Crusader oppression today, massacring nearly a dozen unarmed seminary students. A Palestinian terrorist opened fire at a central Jerusalem yeshiva late Thursday night, killing eight stud…

Bar Hakavod (all the glory to you), Pamela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palestinians have such a sick culture of hatred and violence. It makes me ill that human beings can act this way.

Islam must be destroyed.

God, please comfort the families of the victims and help bring justice to the monsters who brought this evil to their hearths.

Mosques are plenty, graveyards are plenty, but morals and whiskey are scarce. The Koran does not permit Mohammedans to
drink. Their natural instinct does not permit them to be moral.
- Mark Twain

The terrorists entered a dining hall where about 80 people were gathered, witnesses said, and opened fire. “There are at least seven killed,” said Eli Dein, director of Israel’s rescue service. I fully expect there to be celebrating by Palestinians …

What are the legal issues surrounding an artillery battery that gets bearing and range on the noise and fires a dozen or so shells fused to explode about six meters above ground?

njcommuter on March 6, 2008 at 5:51 PM

Good question. I’d preferably have a F-15I or F-16 fly overhead, claim being fired upon and drop bombs on them – that should resolve the legal issues.
