Arafat calls on world to end Israeli campaign in Gaza
2004-10-03
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat called on the international community on Saturday to act immediately to put a stop to the "criminal and racist" Israeli military campaign underway in the Gaza Strip. "I call on the entire world to act immediately and rapidly to stop the criminal and racist" attack launched by the Israeli army on the northern Gaza Strip, Arafat told journalists outside his headquarters here after an emergency cabinet session. "This is a savage, criminal and inhumane attack on our people," Arafat said.
These are the same people who boom buses, right? Hmmm... I seem to have left my sympathy meter in my other pants...
Without saying what time frame he was referring to, Arafat claimed that 63 "martyrs" had lost their lives and another 170 people been wounded, "without counting the martyrs killed by the Israelis who do not want to return their bodies." He accused the Israelis of "using inhumane and illegal weapons, such as fragmentation bombs." At the same time, he denied that any of the rockets fired at Israel had caused any casualties, disputing a claim by Israel that one had killed two children Wednesday night in the southern Israeli town of Sderot. "These rockets the Israelis are talking about have not killed anyone ... and only make noise," he said.
Then why do the Paleos fire them? They think it's the 4th of July?

#9  "without counting the martyrs killed by the Israelis who do not want to return their bodies."

Yeah -- if those damned ol' Israelis would just stay in their bodies, it would be a lot harder for them to kill martyrs ... er, wait, didn't they have to be dead first, I mean, to be martyrs and all???

#5  Arafat calls on world to end Israeli campaign in Gaza

Only when the world calls upon Arafat to end his decades of murderous terrorism can they then take the liberty of dropping by next door to call upon Israel to halt their highly effective and totally justified campaign of eliminating the Palestinian psychotics themselves.

“These rockets the Israelis are talking about have not killed anyone ... and only make noise,” he said.

Arafat has been using this sort of disingenuous bullsh!t forever years as a smoke screen to cover the evil being done in his name. Israel has every right to go in and blow away those who launch these attacks. These rockets are weapons being directed against Israeli citizens and that gives their military the right of response.

I hope Israel crushes the intifada into atoms complete disarray before they abandon the occupied terrortories. I'm looking forward to Israel installing perimeter radar that can triangulate upon launch sites.

If it's from an orchard, uproot it and salt the soil.

If it's from an open stretch of road, plow it for a mile in all directions.

If it's from a house level it and ones next door as well.

Somehow, the Palestinians need to learn that if they're going to act like animals they will be treated no better than animals. And merely saying that is an unfair slap to animals.

Old saying:

The opposite of the human is not the animal.
The opposite of the human is the demonic.

#2  No one cares about you Paleostinian bums and no one notices. The real action is in Iraq. That's where the real rough tough Mohammedan mofos are. I detect a lot of jealousy and whining by Arafat and crew.

Paleo terroroids are pansies compared them.

#1  It says a lot about the Paleos that they have tolerated the 'leadership' of that little AraRAT for so many years.
