| 'All the terrorist wanted to do was to kill Jews' |
| 2008-07-23 |
| Within minutes of the bulldozer attack in central Jerusalem, many locals and tourists on the city's King David Street were debating whether the terrorist's actions were inspired by the expected arrival of U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama, or if it was simply an imitation of the similar incident two weeks ago. "I don't think the terrorist cares who sleeps here tonight, all he wanted to do is kill Jews," said Paul Packer, of Long Island, New York. Packer had come to Jerusalem for a business trip and stayed in an apartment near the site where an East Jerusalem resident rammed a bulldozer into passing vehicles, injuring at least 24 people, mere yards from the hotel where Obama was to stay later in the day. Watching the scene being cleared, he added, "I think they should leave the truck here so Obama can see what Jews and Israelis are facing every day." "It was just a matter of time until there is a copy cat," said James Kennedy, a student at Tufts University in Boston who currently studies at the Hebrew University. His friend Jacob Abolafia believes the location of the attack was no accident: "We're between the King David and the Inbal hotel, where all the important people stay. Maybe there was a message that the terrorist wanted to send us." |

| #7 Anonymoose Koran is full of imprecations against the Jews (far more than against Christaians), Muhammad spent mots of its post-Hegira life perpetrating atrocities agsint the Jews and remeber alos that Hadith were at end of times stones and trees reveal the location of hiding Jews and tell Muslims to kill them. Abyway America is not hated because it hemps Israel it is hated because it usurpates leaderdhip of the world friom the master race. |

| #5 JFM: You are right in that is what they say, but it is their *means* to their end, not the end in itself. Paleo, Arab and other Muslim leaders have said, repeatedly, that if the Jews would just leave Israel, and go somewhere else, so that their lands would be owned by the Paleos, then they would ignore Jews altogether. The reason, over and over, is that they want the land, and the Jews are in the way. They want to kill the Jews, just like they would want to kill Christians, if Christians lived in Israel. Land is the Muslim obsession. For heaven's sake, they are now claiming part of Spain, because in the distant past, it was Muslim. Do you for one second think that if they focused on *that* land, that they would want to slaughter the Spanish any less than they now want to slaughter the Jews? By their twisted logic, the *major* reason the Muslims hate America is *solely* because they think that without American support, the Israelis would have to leave. So it is America's fault that Jews occupy Israel. What they believe is Muslim land stolen from the Paleos. |

| #4 Anonymoose I am unsure about if yoau are an useful or an useless idiot. Palestinians have been saying loud and clear for decades they want the extermination of Israelis. They have been educating their children not merely to become suicide bombers but also to level of hate who exceeds even the one Hutu children were raised. If Palestinians ever gain the upper hand there will be a Holocaust and the model will not be Auschwitz, envision Babi-Yar multiplied 500 times or a Rwanda-like genocide when people and even children were on purpose merely wounded so their agony would take hours or even days. |

| #3 Actually, Anonymoose, consider that the situation in Israel would be right now if---following Oslo---Paleos could control their lust for Jewish blood for, say, a decade? |

| #2 He is mistaken on both counts. The #1 thing the terrorists want is the land of Israel. Killing Jews is just a bonus, and they would forget about it if they could drive the Jews off the land. Just as importantly, they will want to drive *anybody* who is non-Muslim off what they think are their lands. Which in the final analysis, are ALL lands. Senator Obama should have very clear eyes about this, that any illusion about him being loved by Muslims is dangerous. In truth, they see him as first, an apostate. Second, they see him, as black, as being inherently inferior to Arabs. Any fondness for him they are showing is because they feel superior to him an every way, and that his ascendancy will bring a feared enemy down. But the most radical don't even think that far. For them, they see him only as an apostate, who must die. And when he opens his mouth, hoping that buttered inanities will persuade them otherwise, they will only be convinced he is a fool. |

| #1 whether the terrorist's actions were inspired by the expected arrival of U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama Notice how the "reporter" plants the seed right in the first paragraph. He came to send a message to the holy one. It's not just another nutcase on a jihad rampage, but a tormented soul attempting to communicate with The Savior. Gotta give the reporter extra points for turning an non-Obama story into a biblical event. |
