* Pali-Swine or the End of Time?
News reports out of Gaza last week have detailed the torture and murder of a prominent Christian Arab resident. His crime? Apparently being a prominent Christian Arab resident, who owned the only Christian bookstore in Gaza. Lest anyone think this was an isolated incident, the same bookstore had been firebombed in April and a Christian convent and school were ransacked during the bloody Hamas coup in June. “I expect our Christian neighbors to understand the new Hamas rule means real changes. They must be ready for Islamic rule if they want to live in peace in Gaza,” said Sheik Abu Saqer, leader of Jihadia Salafiya, an Islamic outreach movement that recently announced the opening of a “military wing” to enforce Muslim law in Gaza (from Ynet News in June)
The recent history of how Christians have been treated both by the Palestinian Authority, as well as the jihadist gangs that operate freely within it, should give pause to those who still operate under the delusion that the Jewish state could be subsumed into a “binational” Jewish-Arab state comprising Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. At the time of the Six-Day War, Christian Arabs comprised 20% of the population of the West Bank and Gaza; today, mostly because of emigration, it’s 2% (source: Catholic News Agency). Interestingly, the Christian population of the State of Israel has grown from 32,000 at independence to 130,000 (80% of this group are Arab) in 2000. So it appears that life in a Jewish state is a much better alternative to living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority– and this was BEFORE the Hamas coup.
Few people seem to recall the siege at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in March 2002 when wanted terrorists from Hamas and from Fatah’s own al-Aqsa brigades seized the church and used the priests and nuns inside as human shields to avoid capture by the IDF. Such a violation of holy places would provoke worldwide outcry against the perpetrators–except when it comes to Islamic terrorists.
One of Yasir Arafat’s many legacies has been to “de-Christianize” the area set aside for a future Palestinian state– without question, an example of ethnic cleansing . And if that’s how they treated their fellow Arab Palestinians, how does any rational person think the Jews are going to be treated?

Video: Hamas TV Death Cult Child Abuse
The degenerates of Hamas continue indoctrinating children into a life of hatred and murder, with an animated film glorifying “martyrdom” and portraying Israelis as evil child-killers. This monstrous show aired October 12 on Al Aqsa TV, the Hamas TV channel. (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

Rice: Now’s the Time for a Terror State
Condoleezza Rice says it’s time for Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas to have that Palestinian state they so richly deserve: Rice: Now is time for Palestinian state.
* With thanks to LGF
RAMALLAH, West Bank – The time has come for establishing a Palestinian state and it’s in the interest of the U.S. to do so, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday in one of her most forceful idiotic statements yet on the issue.
The comments from Rice, after a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, suggested that the Bush administration is determined to try to bridge the wide gaps between Israel and the Palestinians ahead of a U.S.-hosted Mideast conference.
The gathering is expected to take place next month, though a date has not been announced. Moderate Arab countries, whose participation is widely viewed as critical, have not committed to attending.
Standing next to Abbas, Rice defined Palestinian statehood as a U.S. interest. “Frankly, it’s time for the establishment of a Palestinian state,” Rice said.
This comes as Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies are demanding full control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the “right of return,” and the release of all terrorists from Israeli jails. And it comes even as the Palestinians continue trying to commit mass murder.
There’s a word for this, and it isn’t “sanity.”

The First and Last Enemy: Jew-Hatred in Islam
Fawaz Damra, the former Imam of the Islamic Center of Cleveland was convicted in 2004 for lying to immigration officials about his links to the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and subsequently deported. Yet Damra was touted as a promoter of interfaith dialogue even after evidence of his participation in fundraising events for the PIJ, was produced, along with a videotape of the Imam telling a crowd of Muslim supporters in 1991 that they should aim “…a rifle at the first and last enemy of the Islamic nation, and that is the sons of monkeys and pigs, the Jews.”
As I will demonstrate, Imam Damra’s blatant Jew-hatred was fully sanctioned by — indeed he was merely paraphrasing, and quoting directly from — the core religious texts of Islam. And the historical treatment of Jews in Muslim societies has been consistent with this sacralized religious bigotry. Sheer ignorance of such theology and history, combined with craven denial, allowed Damra’s words to go unchallenged for more than a decade. However the Damra affair is pathognomonic of a much larger and more dangerous phenomenon: the complete, often willful failure to examine and understand the living legacy of Islam’s foundational anti-Jewish animus.

It seems any “creativity” the pallies have is funneled into finding new ways to kill and torture people. Yep,,give them a state,,better still, Devil’s Island.
Clueless Condi, surrounded by Muslim apologists – the State Dept is ate up with them – tells us to forget any requirements on the Pals. No, make them a state. Bush wants to have this ‘legacy’ since his amnesty ‘legacy’ blew up in his face. I hope this one does as well.
