| The Palestinians' Joyful 9/11 |
| 2007-09-18 |
| The Palestinian Authority continues a long tradition of celebrating the 2001 World Trade Center terror attacks by publishing cartoons in its official daily that glorify Osama Bin Laden and the attacks, or mock the suffering of the U.S. This year's cartoon shows Bin Laden smiling while making the “V” for victory sign with two fingers in the shape of the burning Twin Towers. The PA daily that published the cartoon, Al Hayat Al Jadida, is owned by the PA and controlled by the office of Mahmoud Abbas. The only text on this cartoon is "Exclusive to Al Hayat Al Jadida," which means it was prepared specifically for the official Palestinian Authority daily. Rest at link. |

| #5 On 9/11 there was a fistfight among UN Peacekeepers in Africa. The Pakistani officers had just seen the towers fall and they were giving each other high fives. There were words with European peacekeepers who saw this and a fight broke out. |

| #4 Hey! Cut 'em some slack! It's the most 'fun' they can have in their Islamic Paradise. The cartoons should be required reading at Congress and the UN. We're too civilized to revolt at revolting cartoons. Barely. |

| #3 I feel like nominating those others here who keep suggesting the use of high tonnage napalm against the Palestinians. There's limits and this is one of them. It is inhumane to idly sit by and allow the Palestinians to inflict so much suffering upon this world. |

| #2 I nominate the cartoon as permanent part of Rantburg's image file. Trot it out for every article sympathetic to the Palestinians. |
