| EFL Disbelief and gloom seized many Palestinians Sunday at news of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)’s capture... The former Iraqi ruler was a hero to many Palestinians for his stand against Israel and its U.S. ally, as well as for helping families of Palestinians dead - that would be families of suicide bombers in an uprising. "It’s a black day in history," (shouldn’t the NAACP be suing them on the perjorative use of the word black) said Sadiq Husam, 33, a taxi driver in Ramallah, West Bank... There was no immediate reaction from Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. Saddam paid over $35 million to the kin of Palestinian suicide bombers... militants marched to back Saddam (along with appeasement activists in Europe, Berkeley professors, CNN, AP, CBS, NBC and ABC) ahead of the U.S.-led invasion in March. Some did not believe news of Saddam’s capture even when images of the bearded figure flashed across television screens. "Maybe they captured someone who looks like him," said Laila Abusharigh, 55.... "Saddam is a real man and all of us are with him." Fifteen youngsters from Arafat’s Fatah movement tagged onto a rally in Gaza for the Islamic group Hamas, holding up posters of Saddam. Islamic factions sworn to Israel’s destruction have taken strength from Iraqi resistance and cautioned Sunday that Saddam’s capture would not end attacks on U.S. forces. "The war will start now in Iraq )," said 16-year-old Yusef Khalil in Gaza. "Saddam helped our people and we will not forget him."

| #3 Yusef, Yusef, May Allah grant your death wish quickly - the money Saddam sent you bastards was pried from the mouths of hungry Iraqi orphans. May you dream every night of being fed feet first into one of your hero's industrial shredders, only to wake up and find its not a dream. |

I'm sure it'll be therapeutic to dust off some Palestinian terrorists. Get your ass on over to Iraq Yusef, and prepare to become an unremembered "martyr". |
