Israel-Palestine
Abbas demands Israel to end occupation, free prisoners
2004-12-25
In his first official campaign speech, Mahmood Abbas, the frontrunner to the January elections, demanded Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories and release all Palestinian prisoners. The PLO chief also said on Saturday that the Gaza pullout plan must be the beginning of more withdrawals and that Israel must end its occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. "The withdrawal from Gaza must only be a part of other withdrawals which should follow," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon plans to evacuate all 21 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip as well as four enclaves in the West Bank by next year. "Israel must pull out of all Palestinian lands occupied in 1967. We must end the occupation," Abbas said to his supporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah. "We cannot compromise on Jerusalem," he added.

#4  Zenster, I strongly suspect he will lose his life either way. And not at Israeli hands, either. As will all who dare openly advocate discontinuing the intifada.

Which is why I do not think we are killing the terrorists quickly enough. There needs to be an open season declared on all advocates of violent jihad. Bashir, Sadr, Qawadari and all the upper eschelons of jihadism are just the starting point.

Those who seek leadership of societies that support terrorism must be made to realize that death is their reward. If the terrorists are killing all those who oppose such extremism and other nations are busy killing the terrorists, then such societies will quickly notice how terrorists are their true enemy. Any support of terrorism means that everybody's life is suddenly put at risk.

Cultures like the Palestinians and Iran must be made to confront their own extinction as a direct price for supporting terrorism. Only when the penalty becomes so severe will they consider changing their ways. Until then, they will continue to mutilate, maim and murder our world on a routine basis.

Why should all of us put up with their predatory assault upon our freedom? Better that we begin killing each and every single person on earth that considers random mass murdering atrocities to be problem solving tools. Such people epitomize the exact types who will eventually go on to launch a terrorist nuclear attack. I say begin killing them all now. Why wait?

#2  The only way that Abbas can gain the least shred of credibility is by putting a halt to Palestinian terrorism. Failing to do so should cost him his life. It's time to up the cost of noncompliance for the Palestinian people. Their ranks must be thinned of all who advocate terrorism. If this results in all of the Palestinians being killed, so be it.

This world no longer has the luxury of pretending that terrorism is just some sort of nasty anomalistic behavior that will go away if we ignore it. Terrorism must be torn out by the roots and any cultures that encourage mass murder atrocities must be confronted with extinction for their support of it.
