WorldNetDaily: EU poll: Israel 'biggest threat' to world peace
This article is hilarious.
Imagine Jews caring about a poll which tallies the thoughts of Europeans who support Palestinians and legitimize their right to murder and eliminate the state of Israel -- which was created in response to European genocide -- when so many of the same Europeans are still living in homes stolen from Jews they helped murder!

A Smooth Stone "Thinking Out Loud" Note
If some Arabs want to call themselves "Palestinians" that is their right. But Israel is under no obligation either to recognize that contrived entity, or to find them a place to live.
Terror is not something one learns to live with. It is something which the Israel and the US governments are obligated to completely destroy. No normal government should sit down and negotiate with murderers.
That is why it was a big joke that President Bush "celebrated" the start of the Muslim holy month with Muslim leaders in the White House. The great Appeasement. When you appease bullies it only makes them bolder. So while Bush reaches out to the Muslim community, let's hope that the Muslim community reaches back without blowing us up.
We must understand that Israel and the US are at war with those whose only goal is to destroy us.
The disease called Muslim terrorism is mutating. The participation of women in Palestinian terrorism is increasing. Israeli security forces are aware of as many as twenty cases in which women were involved in terrorist activity against Israeli targets. In addition, in response to a warning from Washington that members of al-Qaida could be aboard a ship due in South Korea, Seoul reportedly is boosting security at one of its main ports.
Our only option is to destroy the enemy first and that is why pre-emption has been the right answer all along.

A Palestinian declaration of war
A Palestinian declaration of war
Two weeks have now passed since Palestinian terrorists attacked an American diplomatic convoy in Gaza on October 15, 2003 deliberately killing three US citizens in a wanton act of murder.
The attack, of course, was astonishing, if only because it marked the first time in years that the Palestinians have singled out Americans as their target. But what is even more startling is what took place back in Washington on that very same day, when US President George W. Bush signed a six-month waiver of the 1987 Anti-Terrorism Act, allowing the PLO's offices in America to remain open.

BBC Provides Platform for Palestinian Propaganda
BBC Provides Platform for Palestinian Propaganda
On the November 3, 2000 edition of Newshour, BBC anchorwoman Joanna Buchan hosted Palestinian Dr. Ghada Karmi, associate fellow of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. Dr. Karmi asserted that the current clashes between Israel and the Palestinians are not at all fueled by Islam, but are instead strictly a secular movement to gain land.
Although such a view is highly controversial, and much evidence exists to contradict it, BBC did not invite a dissenting guest to balance the conversation. Nor did Buchan herself challenge any of Karmi’s allegations or mention facts which suggest the opposite – such as the calls from Muslim Sheiks to wage holy war, or the Muslim attacks and threats against Jewish (not Israeli) targets across the United States as well as in England, France, Australia and Indonesia. Nor was there any reference to persistent statements from Palestinian leaders denying any Jewish religious connection to holy sites such as the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, Joseph’s Tomb and Rachel’s Tomb.
Beyond the factual problem, the segment was also offensive in its disparaging characterization of Jews and Judaism’s ties to Israel.

The Future of America
The Smooth Stone Team received a report from one of our host reporting systems wherein we learned that someone from an undisclosed domain found our site by going to Google and entering a query using the phrase "is terry schiavo jewish?" We had to laugh. No, Terri is not Jewish as far as we know.
However, the Smooth Stone team is passionate about defending innocent victims - which includes Israel's citizens who are being terrorized and murdered by Muslim xenophobic racists, the Diaspora Jews who are being victimized and beaten up in Vichy France and elsewhere, and Americans who are defending themselves and others against inhumane Muslim atrocities in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the Sudan, Indonesia, Egypt, and virtually every other Muslim theocracy on the face of this earth. The Smooth Stone team feels the pain of victims who have no voice, like the aborted unborn and - Terri Schiavo.
The Smooth Stone team cares about the terrorized, the impugned, the maligned, the abused, the tortured, the beaten, the oppressed, the despised and the murdered - that means Jews, Israelis, Americans slaughtered by Muslim racists, the unborn, and - you guessed it, Terri Schiavo.
Hope that answers your question, kid.

Good news: Oxford Univ. suspends Professor who rejected an Israeli's job application
Oxford Univ. suspends Jew-hating Professor
An Oxford University Nuffield Professor of Pathology, Andrew Wilkie, who refused to hire an Israeli grad student because of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians has been suspended without pay for two months, the university said Monday.
In June, Wilkie rejected an application from Amit Duvshani, a graduate student at Tel Aviv University, for a post in his laboratory. In an e-mail to the student, Wilkie said he had a "huge problem" with Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.
"I am sure that you are perfectly nice at a personal level, but no way would I take on somebody who had served in the Israeli army," Wilkie wrote.
Seems like Wilkie, who has since resigned, suffers from his own type of pathology: Blatant Jew Hatred; no Cure. Prognosis: Will eventually implode from the shame caused by being a real a-hole.

What do Arabs really think about the Holocaust? We already know what they think about Jews.
Read what Arabs wrote in a Holocaust Museum guest book:
The SNP Museum in the Slovak town Banska Bystrica recently hosted a traveling exhibit of photographs of women, Jewish and non-Jewish, maltreated in Auschwitz and elsewhere during the Holocaust period.
Here is the translation of a page of the guest book, containing the entries of four Arab visitors dated September 7, 2003 (copy of original page available):
1. This exhibit testifies to the quality of organization and handling [of the mission]. From a historical perspective, what Hitler did to the Jews is exactly what they deserve. Still, we would have wished that he could have finished incinerating all the Jews in the world, but time ran out on him and therefore Allah's curse be on him and on them. (-) Khaled al-Zahraya from Saudi Arabia, 07.09.03
2. This is a museum showing a restaurant [specializing in] Jewish meat, which is what they deserve. Sons of apes and pigs.
The day after the attempt to murder Ahmad Yasin. 'Umar al-Da'm, Yemen 07.09.03
3. Ibrahim al-'Arimi, Sultanate of Oman The most beautiful sights of Jews.
(-) 07. 09.03
4. I say what they all say, and will just add that they [Jews] are cursed in this world and the next. Madih, Yemen. (-) 07.09.2003
Note: The names al-Zahraya and al-'Arimi might be read differently

Questions raised about Terri's collapse
WorldNetDaily: Questions raised about Terri's collapse
For Smooth Stone's new readers, we want to tell you that there are few things that impassion us more than Israel. Israel greatly beckons our heart, but so do other victims of gross injustice, like Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
Although this blog is devoted to Israel, the Smooth Stone team feels that the inhumane treatment of Terri should not continue without proper monitoring and advocacy, so although Israel is our first love, Terri is our second.
Here is a welcomed article which re-introduces the possibility that Terri's collapse 12 years ago might have been caused by a physical beating from someone and not from the extremely unlikely reason that has been substituted by her husband's defense team, a potassium imbalance.
The reintroduction of the idea that Terri did suffer a head injury as a result of a physical beating is being frontiered by the foremost forensic pathologist, Michael Baden.
Please click here to read more about Dr. Baden's opinion.
Michael Schiavo, we're all on to you.

Eye-opening article about Saudi Arabia's Education System, from FrontPage Magazine
FrontPage magazine.com
For the past two decades, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been engaged in an extensive effort "to spread Islam to every corner of the earth." This has meant supporting or creating schools with a curriculum primarily based upon the teachings of Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab, the 18th century founder of the Islamist Wahhabiyya movement.
How reassuring to know that Jews will continue to be called monkeys and pigs for quite some time.

Iranian spies roam Britain 'to locate synagogues for attack by al-Qa'eda'
Iranian spies roam Britain 'to locate synagogues for attack by al-Qa'eda'
A big thank you to Havdala for providing this story.
Iranian spies have been photographing synagogues and other Jewish buildings in Britain, seemingly in preparation for terrorist attacks.
Up to 20 Iranians, most studying here legally as students at universities, are involved in the surveillance and two men have been asked to leave the country as a result.
MI5, the security service, and Special Branch officers have discovered Iranians photographing such buildings in London and the Home Counties for some time, with an upsurge of activity over the past two months.
The behavior of the Iranian students detailed in this article refutes yet again the myth that Muslim terrorists are "victims of Israeli oppression with nothing left to lose," since these Iranian students are affluent and highly educated and whose Koran nevertheless teaches them to prefer the role of heartless and murderous "martyr" rather than "contributor to civilization".

The Palestinians don't want a Nation, they want an anti-Nation.
Arthur Kahn and Thomas Murray, authors of "The Palestinians: A Political Masquerade", published by AFSI in 1977 wrote:
Twenty-five years later, Kahn and Murray's words are still true.
"Where a national consciousness can only be fulfilled through destruction of an existing nation, the world is better off if the aspirations of the newly emergent nationalism are not fulfilled. The Arabs of Palestine have allowed themselves to be defined as an 'anti-nation,' one that derives its entire meaning and purpose from the desire to destroy another nation. The conflict with Israel has become the central fact of their identity and they have allowed the elimination of Israel to become defined as a messianic goal."
Twenty-five years later, Kahn and Murray's words are still true.

U.S. Forces Find Major Iraqi Weapons Cache
FOXNews.com - - U.S. Forces Find Major Weapons Cache
U.S. forces acted on a tip about an Iraqi weapons supply Thursday and ended up discovering a much larger find — a hidden cache of buried surface-to-air missiles and mines, including at least 317 4-foot rockets and 220 anti-tank mines.
They confiscated some of the weapons and destroyed the rest.
But when they blew up the initial find, they discovered the larger supply hidden about 5 to 10 feet underground in tunnels and holes. The weapons were all kept next to a mosque.
The Smooth Stone team believes that other hidden caches of weapons and evidence of bio-terror are also inside mosques which is a perfect hiding place, considering "infidels" are forbidden to enter mosques at any time, including U.N. inspectors.
That's convenient, now, isn't it.

Read on for an excerpt of a must-read article written by the brilliant Ann Coulter:
Islamic leaders in the United States instantly denounced Boykin's unflattering characterization of bin Laden and Hussein as an attack on Islam. They haven't been this huffy since describing bin Laden as "not a true Muslim" and Hussein as a "secularist." If our enemies aren't "true Muslims," why are the "true Muslims" always so offended on their behalf?
James Zogby, [the same Zogby who conducts polls] president of the Arab American Institute, has called for Boykin to be fired. After the 9-11 attacks, Zogby said: "Regardless of who is ultimately found to be responsible for these terrorist murders, no ethnic or religious community should be treated as suspect and collectively blamed." But apparently they are collectively offended. They might want to think through the implications of that. If we have to apologize for the general, then maybe they should apologize for 9-11.

Today Marks 20th Anniversary of Bombing of Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon
Bombing of marine barracks, Beirut, October 23, 1983
Simultaneous suicide truck-bomb attacks were made on American and French compounds in Beirut, Lebanon. A 12,000-pound bomb destroyed the U.S. compound, killing 242 Americans, while 58 French troops were killed when a 400-pound device destroyed a French base.
Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
In the early morning hours of 23 October 1983, a truck loaded with explosives crashed through the security perimeter of the United States Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. In the explosion that followed, 241 U.S. Military personnel were killed and 80 seriously wounded. These young people, on a mission of peace in a land stricken by violence, were killed as they slept.
Twenty-one (21) of the young American victims of this cowardly act were returned to the United States and were buried near one another in Section 59 of Arlington National Cemetery. Near their gravesites is planted a Cedar of Lebanon tree which commemorates their sacrifice.

In Defense of General Boykin
General: Christian U.S. fighting Islam
Boykin, a top U.S. general in charge of hunting down Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, is under fire from Muslims and others because of published reports he has told evangelical groups that America is in a war with radical Islam, whose god is an "idol."
This is all in spite of the Los Angeles Times which has noted that Boykin has said publically radical Muslims who resort to terrorism are not representative of the Islamic faith. The paper said he has compared Islamic extremists to "hooded Christians" who terrorized blacks, Catholics, Jews and others from beneath the robes of the Ku Klux Klan.
But now CAIR wants Boykin to be reassigned. CAIR, whose leaders are accused of having ties to Hamas and other radical groups, said it is responding to investigative reports by the Times and NBC News that paint Boykin as an "intolerant extremist who believes that Islam is an idolatrous, sacrilegious religion against which we are waging a holy war." Meanwhile, a former CAIR staffer, Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer, was among 11 men indicted in July for conspiring to train on American soil for a "violent jihad." Another CAIR figure, Bassem Khafagi, was arrested in January while serving as the group's director of community relations.
And the vermin liberal Left in this country are supporting CAIR's position. It's a repugnant position, considering the amoral Left was resoundingly SILENT when Crime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia publicly villifed Jews and the Jewish nation last week. Did YOU hear any Muslim reproach the racist comments? Did YOU Hear any liberals rebuke the Jew slander?
In defending America, Boykin has almost been killed numerous times, serving in key operations such as the 1980 rescue attempt of U.S. hostages in Iran and in 1993 in Somalia.
History is on Boykin's side.
Heroism is on Boykin's side.
Wake up, America. We are at war.

Thank you to MEMRI for providing the following translations:
In the Saudi government daily Al-Riyadh, columnist Dr. Umayma Ahmad Al-Jalahma of King Faysal University in Al-Dammam, wrote on March 10, 2002 on "The Jewish Holiday of Purim." The following are excerpts of the article:
Special Ingredient For Jewish Holidays is Human Blood From Non-Jewish Youth:
For this holiday, the Jewish people must obtain human blood so that their clerics can prepare the holiday pastries. In other words, the practice cannot be carried out as required if human blood is not spilled!!
The Jews' spilling human blood to prepare pastry for their holidays is a well-established fact, historically and legally, all throughout history. This was one of the main reasons for the persecution and exile that were their lot in Europe and Asia at various times.
How the Jews Drain the Blood From Their Young Victims:
I would like to tell you how human blood is spilled so it can be used for their holiday pastries. The blood is spilled in a special way. How is it done? For this holiday, the victim must be a mature adolescent who is, of course, a non-Jew -- that is, a Christian or a Muslim. His blood is taken and dried into granules. The cleric blends these granules into the pastry dough; they can also be saved for the next holiday. In contrast, for the Passover slaughtering, about which I intend to write one of these days, the blood of Christian and Muslim children under the age of 10 must be used, and the cleric can mix the blood [into the dough] before or after dehydration.
The Actions of the Jewish Vampires Cause Them Pleasure:
Let us now examine how the victims' blood is spilled. For this, a needle-studded barrel is used; this is a kind of barrel, about the size of the human body, with extremely sharp needles set in it on all sides. [These needles] pierce the victim's body, from the moment he is placed in the barrel.
These needles do the job, and the victim's blood drips from him very slowly. Thus, the victim suffers dreadful torment -- torment that affords the Jewish vampires great delight as they carefully monitor every detail of the blood-shedding with pleasure and love that are difficult to comprehend.

Starvation Day 7! Florida House votes to save Terri Schiavo. But...
Florida House votes to save Terri Schiavo
Six days after Terri Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on court order – sentencing her to a slow and painful death – the Florida House of Representatives, influenced by a massive and sustained outpouring of support for the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman, voted yesterday to give Gov. Jeb Bush the power to order Terri's feeding tube re-inserted.
Legislation H35-E, known as Terri's Bill, passed House on a 68-23 vote at approximately 10:15 p.m. Eastern.
However, the Senate version, S 0012-E, will be debated by the state Senate at 8 a.m today...
In the meantime, poor Terri is feeling pain from the starvation and dehydration, and people who have seen her say she is beginning to fade, and they fear she can't hold out much longer. She is reported to be alert still and vocalizing, but her face is thinner and her skin is becoming drawn, showing the effects of five days of dehydration.
Michael Schiavo, Florida Supreme Court Judge Greer, Right-To-Die advocate George Felos - you're all on the road to hell.

She is reported to be alert still and vocalizing, but her face is thinner and her skin is becoming drawn, showing the effects of five days of dehydration.

Read this, folks. This is another example of the myth of a"Palestinian" people
Statement by Zuheir Mohsein, Member of the Supreme Council of the PLO:
"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity, because it is in the interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity in contrast to Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity is there only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new expedient to continue the fight against Zionism and for Arab unity."
Trouw (Dutch newspaper) March 31, 1977

Joseph's Tomb Torched
"Palestinians" torched a Jewish shrine outside the city of Shechem. Witnesses said the attack, which left the already-damaged building scorched, took place after a group of Jewish worshipers left the site on Thursday. Joseph's Tomb was trashed by "Palestinian" rioters at the beginning of the intifada but still is the site of frequent, but mostly unauthorized, Jewish visitors.
Since when are Jewish visitors in a Jewish nation considered "unauthorzed"?

In ancient times...
... in Jerusalem, the service in the Holy Temple during the week of Sukkot featured a total of 70 bull offerings. This, the Talmud explains, corresponds to each of the 70 nations of the world. The Temple was not just for Jews. When King Solomon built the Temple, he specifically asked God to heed the prayer of non-Jews who come to the Temple (1-Kings 8:41-43). And the prophet Isaiah refers to the Temple as a "House for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7).

Southeast Asia Shaken by Rise Of Strict Islam (washingtonpost.com)
Look closely at the picture:
Here's an excerpt from the article:
The article continues to explain that part of the reason why people in these countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have turned to radical Islam is essentially backlash because they feel oppressed by the wealthy Christians.
I don't see what this has to do with Jews, do you?
Regardless of the envy-factor that is being cited as contributing to the rise of fundamentalist Islam, there is definitely institutionalized hatred toward Jews going on.
Again, look at the picture, and read the sign.
And on the heels of the Malaysian prime minister's repugnant remarks this past week -- Mr. Bush had to cut his Philippines trip short due to threats from - not Israel or Jews - but Islamists.
Tell THAT to terrorist apologists.

Here's an excerpt from the article:
In the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, hundreds of young men dressed in flowing white prayer robes and armed with machetes, who call themselves the Front for the Protection of Islam, have been ransacking bars and beating up prostitutes. In response to the recent violence in the Middle East as well as diplomatic disputes between the U.S. and Indonesian governments, thousands of Muslim activists have held noisy rallies where they have burned Israeli and U.S. flags, and members of the Islamic front have been prowling Indonesian cities at night looking for Jews and Americans, whom they have threatened to kill.

What happened to the hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees from Arab lands?
Q: What has happened to the hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees from Arab lands? Were there any to begin with?
A: Yes. Many. The heading of an article from the New York Times of May 16, 1948 -- a day after Israel declared its independence -- proclaims: "Jews in Grave Danger in all Moslem Lands. Nine Hundred Thousand in Africa and Asia Face Wrath of Their Foes".
Arabs have been killing Jews since 1882. Already in Iraq (1936 and 1941), Syria (1944-45), Egypt and Libya (1945), and Aden (1947) -- all before the state of Israel's founding -- murderous attacks had killed and wounded thousands.
Q: But how many Jews were living in "Moslem" lands?
A: In 1945 there were about 140,000 Jews in Iraq; 60,000 in Yemen and Aden; 35,000 in Syria; 5,000 in Lebanon; 90,000 in Egypt; 60,000 in Libya; 150,000 in Algeria; 120,000 in Tunisia; and 300,000 in Morocco, including Tangiers. That comes to a total of about 960,000 -- and more than 200,000 in Iran and Turkey.
Q: And what happened to these Jews?
A: During the 20th century, thousands of Jewish men, women, and children, young and old, were brutally massacred in the Maghreb, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, and Aden -- even under French and British colonial rule -- and also in Palestine after the British conquest and during the Mandate (1918-48).
Q: So where are the remaining Jews now?
A: Roughly half of Israel's 5 million Jews -- from a population of 6.2 million, of whom roughly 20 percent are Arab, Druze, and Bedouin Israelis -- is now composed of those refugees and their descendants, who received no humanitarian aid from the United Nations, and who did not ask for it. It was Jews worldwide, just emerging from the Holocaust, who worked together with Israel to achieve this integration.
Jews have always been forbidden to reside in Saudi Arabia and Jordan; there are no Jews in Libya; only under 100 in Egypt and Syria; and only 17 remain in Iraq.
Q: Where is the moral equivalency between "Palestinian" refugees and Jewish refugees?
A: There is no moral equivalency. Jewish refugees were forced to flee from their homes. Palestinian refugees voluntarily fled theirs.
A: Yes. Many. The heading of an article from the New York Times of May 16, 1948 -- a day after Israel declared its independence -- proclaims: "Jews in Grave Danger in all Moslem Lands. Nine Hundred Thousand in Africa and Asia Face Wrath of Their Foes".

A note about Israel's strike in Syria
The target for Israel's pre-emption was indeed an Islamic Jihad training camp and Israel claims that its intelligence is rock-solid.
Beyond suspicion is this fact that although the White House is in anti-leak mode, U.S. officials let it be known that U.S. satellite surveillance has confirmed the Israeli finding and was the factual basis for President Bush's strong public support for the cross-border strike.
There are widely circulated reports that Syria has offered safe haven and training camps to groups such as the Islamic Jihad, Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.
Don't forget too that a majority of the Al Qaeda and Ansar al-Islam terrorists and suicide bombers who have turned up in Iraq have been killers who entered from Syria.
One source of amusement is Syria's current membership on the U.N. Counter-Terrorism Committee.
The U.N. Security Council decided that states are no longer at liberty to serve as a landlord or a supply house in aiding terrorist groups. Under Security Council Resolution 1373, they must shut down terrorist financing and training, and arrest or exclude the actors who seek to maim and kill civilians as a political technique.
However, Syria who doesn't respect its obligations as a neighbor nation or as a member of the Security Council, announced in a September 2002 Counter-Terrorism Committee filing, that it could not regard as terrorism any acts committed in a "legitimate struggle against foreign occupation."
Evidently Kofi and the other henchmen member nations at the U.N. agree which is why there is no U.N. resolution to end Syria's occupation of Lebanon, an occupation that no one ever reprimands.

A JAPANESE VIEW OF THE PALESTINIANS
If you are so sure that "Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history", I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine:
When was it founded and by whom?
What were its borders?
What was its capital?
What were its major cities?
What constituted the basis of its economy?
What was its form of government?
Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?
Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
What was the language of the country of Palestine?
What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?
What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date.
And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?
You are lamenting the "low sinking" of a "once proud" nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that "nation" proud and what was it so proud of?
And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over -- or thrown out of -- the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War?
I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day "Palestinians" to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won't work here.
The truth should be obvious to everyone who wants to know it. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy. For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called it "the Palestinian people" and installed it in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria. How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally accept back the "West Bank" and Gaza, respectively?
The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them. The so called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel, and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation" -- or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist organization that will one day be dismantled.
In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace in the Middle East. Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited on it. The most appropriate form of such reparations would be the removal of their terrorist organization from the land of Israel and accepting Israel's ancient sovereignty over Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
That will mark the end of the Palestinian people. What are you saying again was its beginning?
You are absolutely correct in your understanding of the "Palestinians" murderous motives. I am afraid however that you, along with 99% of the population of this planet have missed the beginning of WWIII (the enemy call it Jihad) quite a few years ago. The siege of the US embassy in Tehran in 1979, an event to which the latest Nobel Peace Prize winner had
so miserably failed to respond, can be very well used as the day WWIII stepped out of the pages of the Koran and into the current events. I pray the United States and Israel lead the world to victory in this war.
Come to think of it, there is no choice, be you a Christian, or even, believe it or not, a Muslim. (Attributed to Yashiko Sagamori)

Smuggling, Tunnels, Denial, Oh My!
More than 40 Taliban militants escaped from a southern Afghanistan prison by digging a 30-foot-long tunnel and with apparent help from officials, regional leaders said Saturday.
Ah, "tunnel". An old buzzword. This brings me to want to discuss the smuggling tunnels that Israel tried to penetrate yesterday while the real criminals, the "Palestinians", villified Israel for trying to destroy them.
Just think back when, under the premiership of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel opened an exit to an already existing tunnel by the Western Wall. It caused a riot by the local Arabs and was condemned worldwide.
The world has already forgotten all about the Palestinian Authority's failed attempt to smuggle 50 tons of Iranian-supplied weapons and explosives into Gaza on board the Karine A.
The world has also forgotten all about how Palestinians smuggle suicide bombers in ambulances.
And that State Department officials have said that Hizbullah smuggles cocaine from Latin America to Europe and the Middle East.
And that Arafat, while a student on campus, helped to smuggle firearms and explosives into Israel and its surrounding regions and as a direct result of that, in 1959, established the Fatah movement, whose major objective was to destroy the state of Israel.
The world is inured to the phrase "Palestinian gunman" which has become such a staple of Middle East coverage that everyone seems to have forgotten that the category has been illegal since Sept. 13, 1993, when Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin signed the Oslo peace agreement at the White House. That document says (in Article XIV, Paragraph 4) that no one other than the Palestinian police force and Israeli military may "manufacture, sell, acquire, possess, import or otherwise introduce into the West Bank or the Gaza Strip any firearms, ammunition, weapons, explosives, gunpowder or any related equipment." There is no evidence that the Palestinian Authority has ever enforced it.
What's more, the widespread presence of guns in Palestinian territories doesn't just prove that the PA failed to control the weapons Oslo allowed it to have—it also settles the question the Karine A raised by making it clear that the PA is intimately involved in smuggling weapons and at least knowingly looks the other way. Under Oslo, the Israelis did give the PA police force 15,000 Kalyshnikovs. Under Oslo, every M-16 you see in Palestinian hands is illegal.
Now about those smuggling tunnels; the IDF has frequently uncovered and destroyed Palestinian tunnels constructed at the Egypt-Israel border in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip. These tunnels are used to smuggle weapons, cigarettes, drugs, and people (primarily prostitutes) from Egypt into Gaza. The Rafah tunnels are typically dug inside residential homes, and are concealed under bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms.
On October 12, 2001, two tunnel entrances were discovered inside a child's bedroom. Another such tunnel was uncovered on September 12, 2002.
But none of this matters.
What we do know is that the appearance of modern assault weapons used by Palestinians to gun down innocent Jewish men, women, children and infants, isn't just a main cause of concern — it is indicative evidence of smuggling and confirms, again, the righteousness with which Israel defends itself.

israelinsider: Views: Palestinian terror takes barbarism to new lows
Israelis have endured nearly one terror attack every hour of every day for thirty-one consecutive months. These attacks, with knives, guns, hatchets, acid bottles and bombs filled with razor blades dipped in rat poison, have had absolutely nothing to do with Palestinian "self- determination."
Rather, they have expressed barbarism as an end in itself, targeting always the most vulnerable Israelis, often on Jewish holidays when pious families sit down to eat and pray together.

A note about Sukkot
From Aish.com:
Read more about "time of our joy", here.
When the Jews left Egypt and began wandering in the barren desert, they were unarmed, unprotected, and left vulnerable to the elements of wind, cold, bandits and animals. Since they were constantly travelling, God instructed them to build flimsy, temporary booths -- called Sukkot.
These hardly provided any protection from the elements. Yet the Jews learned a profound lesson: Safety and security does not come through thick walls and burglar alarms, but ultimately through trust and reliance in God.

The Pigs are Coming! The Pigs are Coming!
Geva Zion, a veteran of the I.D.F. K-9 unit, has developed an effective system to detect Arab terrorists and bombs. Zion is training wild bores to find mines and bombs. Zion claims that his 2 new pigs “Soda” and “Chaziza” can track explosives quicker and better than any dog or electronic detection device, according to Yediot Ahronot, September 30, 03.

Why the "Fence" doesn't make any sense
1. If it is true that the fence will limit penetration into the “other side” then it will turn the lives of the 200,000 Jews who remain on the “wrong side” into a living hell, and into an inferno that will make the Warsaw ghetto look like children’s play.
2. From the “Arab side of the fence” Katyushas and Kassams will be launched constantly on Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Netanyah, and Afula just as they are presently launched over the fence separating Gaza from “southern Israel”.
3. “Arab Israelis” will continue to intensify their terror campaign on the “Israeli side of the fence”, demanding autonomy and statehood in the Negev and in the Galilee.
4. The cost of the fence will result in billions of dollars that could be used much more effectively to fight Arab terror.

Arabs have been killing Jews since as early as 1882
We've often heard the ludicrous claim that Zionists introduced terrorism into the Middle East. However, this cannot be substantiated by the facts. Arabs in then-Palestine attacked and terrorized Jews and their villages for 39 years before any sort of organized Jewish defense responded. From 1882 to 1921, Jewish villages were attacked and Jews were murdered.
And keep in mind that this started 35 years before the Balfour Declaration. Clearly the problem is not Zionism, but rather, reactionary xenophobia toward the Jews by an intolerant dominant ethnic group. Can you guess which group?
The following Jewish villages (listed from north to south) were attacked by Arabs between 1882 and 1914:
Sejera, Kinneret, Yavniel, Degania, Merhavia, Hadera, Petakh Tikvah, Ben Shemen, Ness Tziona, Rehovot, and Gedera.
By 1920 to 1921 the attacks were more frequent and more organized. In March, 1920 an armed band of Arab irregulars from the village of Halsa attacked the Jewish village of Tel Hai killing eight Jews.
Also attacked in March and April were the Jewish villages of:
Ayelet Hashachar, Mashmar Hayarden, Mahanyim and Rosh Pina in the upper Galilee, and Sharona Menahamiya, Kfar Tavor and Degania in the lower Galilee.
Kinneret was attacked first in March and then again in April, causing an emergency meeting to be held in June to decide on how to defend against Arab attacks. It was decided to set up a defense force which they called the Haganah.
Attacks on Metulla, Hamara, and Kfar Giladi in 1920 forced the evacuation of those villages.
On April 25 the village of Bnei Yehuda was attacked, driving out all the inhabitants, who were forced to abandon the village. Bnei Yehuda was never rebuilt. And it wasn't the Jews who began to destroy villages and attempt to expunge "the other" from the area.
In May of 1921 bands of Arab irregulars attacked the Jewish neighborhoods of Haifa, Hadera, Jaffa, Petah Tikva, and Rehovot.
In November, 1921 the Haganah repelled an Arab attack on the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem.
So much for "occupation" being a root cause of Muslim terrorism.

Edward Said, dead.
Edward Said is dead. He was called a scholar. A man who was a professional liar was not a major scholar, certainly about the Middle East, which was not his field and about which his major lies were created, like his fake refugee childhood.
Said mourned his "beautiful" house in Jerusalem from which his family was supposedly thrown out in '48, but there is only one problem: Said grew up in Cairo, the son of an American father who owned a very lucrative office supply company. He was driven around with chauffeurs, attended the best private schools. He never even set foot in Jerusalem his entire childhood.
Said was a cheap intellectual fraud, and a rock-throwing thug, no better than the murderous rioters now besieging Israel and carrying out pogroms.
