| 2006-05-09 |
| A short circuit has sparked a fire in the Palestinian parliament building sending a plume of black smoke billowing into the air and forcing workers out. Rescue crews attended the scene and helped people climb down a ladder from the second-floor window on to the roof of a fire engine. A large crowd of onlookers gathered to watch at the Ram Allah scene. Officials said one side of the building was damaged on three stories, though details on the extent of the damage were not available. There were no immediate reports of injuries, and the fire was under control. The parliament's secretary-general, Mahmud al-Ramhi, said: "The fire caused some material damage, but there have been no casualties. All the staff were swiftly evacuated." Yazid Abu Einayah, in charge of electrical maintenance at the parliament, confirmed that the fire had been set off by an electrical fault. "The fire broke out in an electricity panel on the ground floor and then spread to other electricity boxes," he said. |

| #1 This is what I saw: Official PA government Religious Judicial Council web site: 1.Christian Zionists "adopted Satan as God" 2.Christian Zionism is a dangerous distortion, a deviation from the true Christian faith 3.The Christian Zionists and Zionist Jews "comprise the greatest danger to world truth, justice, and peace". 4.The International Christian Embassy "carries out criminal activities" against Palestinians 5.Christian Zionism must be expelled by the World Church. Introduction: The following article, written by a senior Palestinian Authority religious figure and placed on the website of the PA Supreme [Islamic] Judicial Council, attacks Christian Zionists for adopting "Satan as God" and deviating "from the true Christian faith." Christian Zionists are presented as a danger to Muslims and the world, and the PA Religious leader calls for their expulsion by the "World Church." Zionist-Christian motivation is said to be "Crusader motivation" and was behind not only the "cursed Balfour Declaration" but is today "behind the British and American policy in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other Arab and Muslim countries." It should be noted that the writer Hamed Al-Tamimi, a member of the Supreme Judicial Council, was appointed to his position of religious leadership before the Hamas came to power in the PA. The following is the text as it appears today on the website of the Supreme [Islamic] Judicial Council: Christian Zionism / by Hamed Al-Tamimi - Director Inter Religion Dialogue Department, member of the Supreme Judicial Council Very few people know the truth about this [Christian Zionist] movement, which unconditionally supports the Zionist enemy, and unconditionally opposes Islam and the MuslimsÂ… Their association and their organizations, headed by "The International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem," carry out their criminal activities against the Palestinian issue and the Palestinian people, as Walter Riggans, the Secretary-General of the International Christian Embassy, proudly and defiantly announced: "We are more Zionist than the Israelis" Â… And even if the sides of this hated- malicious alliance [of Israelis and Christian Zionists] have different goals, they both agree on hatred of Islam and the Muslims and on [the goal] to destroy themÂ… The Zionist-Christian motivation, in addition to imperialist motivation, was behind the cursed Balfour Declaration -Balfour and Prime Minister Lloyd George were Christian Zionists -Â…and the truth is we should not deny [that] these Crusader motivations stand [today] behind the British and American policy in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other Arab and Muslim countries. We choose [to quote from] the following lecture, by the Doctor Priest Riad Jarjour, the Secretary-General of the Middle-Eastern Churches CommitteeÂ… to shed light on this destructive [Christian Zionist] movement that together with her Zionist Jewish ally comprise the greatest danger to world truth, justice, and peace. [From lecture of Riad Jarjour]: "Hence there is no place in the Middle East for Christian Zionism, it must be expelled by the World Church, since it is a dangerous distortion and a big deviation from the true Christian faith, which concentrates on Jesus, and it [Christian Zionism] defends a national political program which considers the Jewish race supremeÂ…" [Back to Tamimi] They [Christian Zionists] are a group who adopted Satan as God who drives their crazy nature. They have praised depravity and cursed virtue, they have turned the moral scale upside down and have reached [a point] in which forgery, deception, and lying, have turned into descriptions of world policy, which is led by the Zionism on both its branches - the Jewish and the Christian."
