As to the I-word, part of me agrees with you, and part of me asks whether we want the David Dukes, Pat Buchanons, Michael Moores, Cindy Sheehans and various Democratic congressmen and ex-CIA flacks repeating the canard that US actions in the middle east are dictated by Israel? This may be one instance where “shah shtill” has some continuing validity.

Notice how the story doesn’t say how the standoff was resolved.

The breakin and takeover was planned and staged. This is just Fateh’s way of passing cash from political types to military types in a way that doesn’t appear on Fayyad’s ledgers, setting off the EU and US alarms.

Supposedly, it’s an old IRA trick for passing money from the Irish government to the IRA without making it look like they’re out and out funding the goons. The boyos taught their pali pals this one back in their days together in the sand.

That Other Place where terrorists are attacking. That Other Place in the global jihad. That Other Place, where the U.S. has fallen down in her task to stop terrorism

The following seems a lovely example of terrorising:
O little town of Bethlehem, ‘gainst thee we wage jihad

PALESTINIAN gunmen from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stormed the offices of the mayor of Bethlehem today, according to security sources and witnesses in the West Bank town.

I was reminded today by current events of the following story: Poor Man’s Blintzes An improverished Jew in an Eastern European village one day asked his wife to make him blintzes. Wife: “Only rich people can afford to make blintzes.”…

The keys are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Bush has collected two of them so far. The rest will be collected in time.

I know this: People know that an Iran with the capacity to manufacture a nuclear weapon is not in the world’s interest. That’s universally accepted. And that should be accepted universally, particularly after what the President recently said about the desire to annihilate, for example, an ally of the United States.

Apparently, we now have the president forbidden to use the I-word.

But I was talking about the larger point, which is that Israel is enveloped in a terror war that is now being ignored by the Bush administration. It wasn’t four years ago. It wasn’t when he said that Israel should not have to deal with a palestinian leadership that was “compromised by terror.” Hamas is nothing BUT terror. Their goal is to wipe Israel off the map.

Al Qaeda has entered the Gaza Strip, and they entered it after the Israelis pulled out. Yet the president continues to overlook the terrorists on that front.

I find it curious that the Administration is unable to use the “I” word when talking about terror. If Bush can no longer discuss terror attacks on Israel, he has caved to the Arabists in the State Department, and to the Jew-hatred of the Arab/Muslim world.
