#1 The right thing to say is:
The Palestinians have values, while we don't!

#3 Islamic Heroesâ¢ firing from behind ambulances, women, and children - Religion of Cowards and stupid incestuous fuckwits, right, "Gentle"?

#4 Did you even read the article, Gentle? Money quote:

âIf my soldiers can assist a Palestinian woman giving birth when six of their comrades have been blown to bits in the street but, at the same time, they fire at us from behind an ambulance, you must understand that we are at opposite ends of the scales of values. They are at the very bottomâ.

#5 Gentle is right. A member of a death cult certainly has values. And Arafat has many values as well - all of them bad.

#6 11A5S--That's the money quote. And by the nature of his comment, "Gentle" has revealed what his values are as well.

#7 Just curious, Gentle - have you been in either Israel or Palestinian territories?

I have.

I've been in the souk in Jerusalem when a father was stabbed to death by a west-bank Palestinian in the street nearby.

I've seen the arrogance of Israelis -- and the deliberate hatred and indiscriminate murder perpetrated by Palestinians.

I am no automatic fan of Israel. But what the Palestinians have become, by their own choosing, is beyond justifying.

#8 Arafat has values, or at least the money he's syphoned from the Palestinians into his wife's bank accounts has millions in value.

#9 The firing from behind ambulances or using woman and children as shields shouldn't surprise anyone who's read anything about the war in Chechnya, Somalia, or Iraq. Its a standard tactic among the Islamists these days.

#10 Muhammed, Mohammed...whatever! I think the important thing to note here, is that the second syllable is "ham". Mo * ham * med

That is the crux of the whole matter. These people are secretly craving a big old Ham & Swiss on Light Rye sandwich! With just a touch of Mayo and a Kosher Dill Pickle.

That would take the Jihad out of them.

#11 Palestinians are a ruined people. Whatever values they might have had have drained away during 55 years of welfare in UN funded "refugee" camps, eating UN provided food, learning nothing but the Koran and how to hate Jews. If the Israelis were to magically disappear and the West cut off the welfare payments, the Palestinians would starve to death within a year. All they are good for now is to march in the streets mouthing hate and trying to kill Jews by blowing themselves up.

#12 I'm w/RKB. I've dealt w/Israelis on a mil/professional level and am not a fan of the entitlement syndrome I've got from them. However, the paleos w/hamas/hizbollah speak for themselves. When your only targets are blowing up women and children while hiding behind your own - you are both worthless and contemptuous.
