Yasser Arafat left a legacy of death and destruction behind him. It was his organizations that “improved” the terrorist’s favorite weapon–the nail bomb–to cause as much death and destruction as possible. Witness the attack on Christians in Indonesia:
PALU, Indonesia (AP) – Suspected Islamic militants set off a powerful bomb packed with nails Saturday at a busy market frequented by Christians, killing eight people and wounding 45 as they bought pork for New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The blast occurred in Palu on Sulawesi Island, which has been plagued in recent years by religious violence and terrorism by Islamic extremists.
The early morning explosion sent ball bearings and nails tearing into vendors and shoppers, leaving the market scattered with dismembered bodies. Police and passers-by carried bloodied bodies to cars. One man, apparently unhurt, held his head in his hands as he screamed.
“There was a billow of smoke and then a massive bang and my ears were deafened,” said Kartini, a 32-year-old Christian woman who was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds to her chest and feet.
“I was in shock and had to tell myself to move away. I screamed for help,” said Kartini, who like many Indonesians uses a single name.
Police said eight people died in the attack. Hospital officials said at least 45 were wounded, with more than 20 suffering serious injuries.
Israelis create drip-irrigation technology, cures for diseases, and inventions that help the world. Palestinians create ways to cause more death and destruction, and then pass that knowledge onto other terrorists.
And the world demonizes Israel.
So tell me, what were the root causes of this bombing of the Christian market in Indonesia? How will Israel giving up the West Bank prevent this from happening in the future? If the U.S. withdraws from Iraq, will that stop the Muslim terrorism of Christians throughout the world?
Shyeah, right.
Arafatism, like Stalinism lives long after the namesake has gone to hell.
Israel, like Jews in the rest of the world, is the miner’s canary. The world is paying the price of ignoring attacks on us, midah k’neged midah.
Its a shame that a Political Science professor does not offer a class which studies Media Bias in a Political Enivroment(Palestinian/Israel Conflict, American Military in Iraq, Riots in France, The genocide in Sudan, the UN Oil for food Scandal, Rather-gate, etc…).
It is a target rich enviroment (making it an easy class to set up)vand it would help students sift the bias out of an article and reach more rational conclusions from the data given.
But then, the Universities are part of the problem, aren’t they? :)
Come to think of it, there _is_ an online class on media bias around here somewhere… ;)
“So tell me, what were the root causes of this bombing of the Christian market in Indonesia?”
Why, the mere existence of a single Joo somewhere in the world makes some people angry to an explosion point…
Why is it the Jews’ fault, Meryl? It just is, OK? If the Israelis would only accept the legitimate demands of the Palestinians (e.g. going out of existence) Muslims the world over would be reconciled to Western civilization.
