The Palestinian Government: "All Forms of Resistance"

On Fateh's website, it says relatively clearly, in English, that among their cornerstone principles is wiping out the Jewish State by armed means only.

Amazing how morally weak and gullible the so-called leading nations of this world really are. The Palestinian policies as so clearly enunciated by their terrorist Prime Minister amount to nothing more than ethnic cleansing in the Middle East. I don't expect much more from these fundamental fanatics but I would like to have expected more from those nations who were directly responsible for murder of 6 million Jews only 65 years ago.

As if it wasn't bad enough that the Western media is trying to downplay the terrorist element to Hamas and the Palestinian government, Israel's own media is doing the same. Yediot Ahronot, Hatzofeh, and Haaretz all call for the Israeli government to negotiate with the new 'unity' Palestinian government. Of course its easy for the media to say whatever they like, at the end of the day they carry no responsibility and they will blame the same politicians for when things go wrong because those Ministers have adopted the media's recommendations.

Our "History teaches that" it's very difficult to teach "Homo Sapiens" (persons, peoples and Mankind).
Even now (after many millions of victims) we seldom remember a very important ancient rule: "The language controls both Death and Life". This error has lead to huge tragedy 70 years ago, when Mankind did not want to "translate" the meaning of NSDAP texts. The same error is being done now, and for a very long time, while translating texts from 'a very extraordinary Oriental language' of several modern ideologically aggressive groups. While their deeds have already proven (with blood of victims) their intentions and methods, somebody MUST produce a dictionary to save millions of good-will enthusiasts of the World from being supporters of manslaughter and fascism whitewashing. Their ignorance will not whitewash their hands from blood and resurrect people murdered with their support.
Some well-known authority MUST provide this analysis and publish Worldwide a fact-based translation to several stamps, like 'legitimate right of resistance' or 'rejection to recognize'. The 'translation errors' are murderous! They murder now, almost every day.

By repeatedly claiming the problem is occupation, the Palestinians have managed to brain-wash several European countries into justifying the Palestinians' position regarding recognition of Israel, Kassam rockets, suicide attacks etc. Israelis should repeatedly replace "occupation" with "disputed territories" until this is accepted.

Lets hope that Israel will choose people as leaders close to King David with a zeal to cleanse the country of peoples that do not belong there.

I am not surprised that the backsliding has already begun among Western nations. They call it diplomacy. I call it moral cowardice. My only hope is that the Israeli Government stands firm . I see no reason why it should even talk to Abbas until the three conditions are met and seen to be met. If Haniya wants to starve his own people rather than recognise Israel let the world see just that.

How long will it take for "enlightened countries" to realise that we are the only country in the world struggling for our right to exist? The so called "Palestinians" are not an indigenous people, and are composed mainly of Arabs from just about everywhere. They are not threatened and could easily live in 13 million square kilometers of Arab territory among 350 million of their own, who control a half of the world's energy.
Despite all this, we the inhabitants of our historical homeland, reduced to the size of Wales, with a smaller population than London's, for real peace, are willing to share this sliver of land, be it with primitive barbarians a la Jihad/Hamas, but what? No deal! Their intentions were very clearly expressed: continued support of "resistance" i.e. terrorism, and continued teaching of blind hatred in their educational system. The Norwegians, in their usual blind and stupid support of anything anti-Israeli were the first to shake hands with the butcher of Israeli civilians, with pledges to finance continued atrocities and the twisted and evil Palestinian educational system. The hypocritical Western Europeans will soon follow suit in the wake of the "plight" of the "poor" oppressed Palestinians, despite arenas of at least two dozen mass atrocities being carried out at any given moment throughout the world. I'm going to throw up with the thought of European behaviour.

The AP published exactly the same propaganda piece, Arabs good, Jews mean, Israel blocks peace. That's not a coincidence.

Newspeak from Fatah-Hamas via same mid-east stringers for the same audience---the domestic and "international" market.

The ABC political news directtor, Mark Halperin repeated the same corrupt mantra as BBC when asked about their coverage of mid-east (and everything else).

He said, "we are an international market. One mans terrorist is anothers hero".

Address your outraged complaints to Disney board of directors, institutional stockholders and skip the editors.
