For those of you that still think that Palestinians are a peace-loving people with only the "absolute few" that's causing the current crisis in Middle East, think again!
quote: A new poll showed more than half the Palestinians opposed a halt to the fighting
Which mean they ain't as peace loving as you thought, MORE THAN HALF of the population support the terrorists.
So guess what, I was right on calling some of the Americans in this board hypocrites. Didn't almost all of you fully support what Bush is doing now to crack down on terrorists? Didn't Bush said something along the line that if you support or harbor terrorists, then you're a terrorists?
By the definition made by your president, which you guys elected and supported, more then half of Palestinians are terrorists, which Bush mention again and again, should be absolutely hunted down with no negotiations!
For those of you still on the side of Palestinians, I declare you the BIGGEST hypocrites in the world! What the hell is it going to take for you to see the truth? Maybe one day Palestinians decide to target Americans on their own land, then you'll agree with me.

I had a brilliant post certain to be well-recieved by all who read it, but then IE crashed. Imagine that. So instead I'll have to just say that I don't think he does have a point, and it isn't his percieved point that I necessarily have the problem with. It's the presentation that bugs me to no end, with its either/or fallacies and the like.

Envoy Can't Remember Insult Updated: Wed, Dec 19 11:28 AM EST
LONDON (Reuters) - France's ambassador to Britain cannot remember referring to Israel as "that shitty little country" during a private conversation with a newspaper owner, his spokesman said on Wednesday.
The spokesman said the ambassador, Daniel Bernard, was shocked to see media reports of a private dinner conversation he had had with Conrad Black, owner of the Daily Telegraph, which attributed the remark to him and depicted him as anti-Semitic.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's spokesman said the remark -- if correctly reported -- would be anti-Semitic, while the French Foreign Ministry dismissed the media reports of the incident as "malevolent insinuations."
The conversation took place at a buffet party at Black's London home at the end of last week.
Black's wife, journalist Barbara Amiel, wrote in her column in the Telegraph on Monday that "an ambassador of a major EU country" said the whole of the current international security crisis could be blamed on "that shitty little country Israel."
Subsequent press reports named Bernard as the ambassador responsible.
"He doesn't remember saying that," the ambassador's spokesman, Yves Charpentier, told Reuters on Wednesday.

How in the world would that be anti-Semitic? If I say Afghanistan is a shitty country, is that anti-Islam? Afghanistan is a shitty country. It's spent years under rule by überoppressive religious fundamentalists, and it's spent a couple months getting the fuck bombed out of it.
Even if the guy did say Israel is a shitty country, so what? If he thinks the country is shitty, he thinks the country is shitty. I don't see what the relative shittiness of a country has to do w/ hatred of a large, wide-spread group of people.

If you have any clue who Conrad Black is, it would be wise to ignore such pap altogether.
