'Palestinians' angered by Bush win
2004-11-05
Many Palestinians have reacted angrily to news of US President George Bush's re-election.
. Well, that's just too bad. They can learn to live with the mandate of the American voters, if they don't blow themselves up first.
Is there anything they don't react to angrily?
Despite his declared vision for a viable Palestinian state thriving in peace beside Israel, most Palestinians believe Bush to be an enemy of Arabs and Muslims and a fanatic ally of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. They argue that his support of Israel's policies in the occupied Palestinian territories - including extrajudicial assassinations and home demolitions - disqualifies him as an honest peace broker between the Palestinians and Israelis. Bush's pledge to Sharon in early 2004 to support the annexation of large chunks of the West Bank effectively dried up any semblance of Palestinian optimism about his commitment to Palestinian statehood and a just and durable settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. More blather & bunk

#14  I think it's time to make the paleostains an offer they can't refuse: "Either accept the state of Israel and learn to live in peace, or we'll help Israel wipe you from the face of the earth." I think that's clear enough for even Arafart to understand, six feet under. Set a deadline, say January 1, 2005. The plumbing business will skyrocket in the West Bank and Gaza in the next few days.

#13  That's what I thought, #10 Tom, but it wasn't.

I'm always very careful when I'm clearing cookies to make sure Rantburg & LGF are not wiped off.

Weird.

#12  Palestinians angered? That seems out of character.

How do you say tough titty beans in Arabic?

#9  #7 is me, guys. Didn't notice the weird name until I'd made several comments. Don't know why my own name disappeared since I'm using my home computer.

Yeesh.

#6  I think we have to make the Palestinian cause a personal preoccupation of as many Muslims as possible

huh? it isn't already?

what haven't they reacted angrily towards?

If we count on the US to restore our rights, then we will have to wait for eternity.

yes. "we demand the right to eliminate Israel and the US does not recognize that right. Death to America!"

Yeah, with Arafat gone, this would probably be the way to keep the graft rolling in.

If they wanted to live, some sort of compromise could've been worked out.
