"We love the Evil Murderer™!"
2004-03-24
Hat tip LGF. al-Rooters. Watch for spin.
More than a hundred people carrying Palestinian flags and protest signs marched outside the Israeli consulate in New York on Tuesday to condemn Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and President Bush after the richly deserved assassination of Evil wizard Saruman Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin.
And good riddance.
"I’m here to demonstrate as an American that I’m so tired of Jews breathing Israel and their crimes and I’m disgusted in our government," said Rajee Mustafa, a 51-year-old electrical engineer from Jersey City, New Jersey.
"Heil Haman!"
Yassin, a wheelchair-bound murderous Bad Guy™ cleric whose militant group has carried out dozens of suicide bombings, was killed in a missile attack on Monday that Israeli security sources said was ordered by Sharon. "We stand alone in the globe in not condemning this act," said Mustafa, a Palestinian-American. "This is a terrorist act and I’m ashamed of the double standard. This double standard is bringing us hate from all the Arab world, the Muslim world."
???
At the evening rush-hour protest across from the consulate, demonstrators carried signs such as "Sharon and Bush -- War Criminals," and raised chants including, "Oh shit, there goes another harp string, oh shit, there go our lips" and "Sheikh Yassin, rest in peace, Israel will never sleep."
Rest in torment, more like.
Later at a memorial gathering in Brooklyn, speakers praised Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of Hamas, as a freedom fighter who had dedicated his life to the extemination of the Jews Palestinian struggle. Among those addressing a hall crammed with several hundred people was anti-Zionist Rabbi David Weiss. Blaming Arab-Israeli tensions on Zionism, Weiss said that "before Zionism, Jews and Palestinians lived as neighbors and brothers. ... True Jewish people throughout the world have been thrown into turmoil" by Yassin’s death, he said.
Then his legs shrank.
Others, speaking in Arabic and English and representing groups including the Committee to Defend Palestine and Students for Solidarity, warned that Sharon would bear responsibility for whatever actions were taken by Palestinians in response to the killing.
"It’s not the Turbans’ fault if they kill more Israelis in cold blood!"

#3  before Zionism, Jews and Palestinians lived as neighbors and brothers

Well, excepting the occasional pogrom and massacre, sure. Oh, and ignoring that little period of Muslim support for Hitler, which seems to have started in the 1930s and ended sometime...

Oh, it never ended.

#2  I wonder if Rabbi Weiss joined in when they started chanting "Hamas! Hamas! All Jews to the gas!"

#1  What is wrong with these people? I know I initially questioned whether our glee was appropriate (I since decided that it was), but this is just insane!

And since when have "Jews and Palestinians lived as neighbors and brothers", huh?
