Samir Kuntar
The PA routinely praises terrorists, and yet US officials continue to treat it as if it were a respectable government organization. From Arutz Sheva, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is urging National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice to suspend her planned meeting with the head of the Palestinian Authority until he publicly refutes an article in the official PA newspaper praising a terrorist who murdered an Israel father and his two young daughters."Those who incite murder by praising murderers do not deserve the honor of meeting with senior U.S. government officials," said ZOA National President Morton A. Klein. "At this crucial moment in the international war against terrorism, the Bush administration must have a policy of zero tolerance for those who incite terrorism and praise terrorists."
As reported by Palestinian Media Watch, a May 6th article in the official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida heaped praise on Samir Kuntar, who is serving multiple sentences of life imprisonment in Israel for murdering an Israeli father, Danny Haran, and his two young daughters in Nahariya in 1979. The PA newspaper praised Kuntar as "a name of pride in the history of the prisoners of the national movement" and "a beacon of light for us and for the generations to come and an authentic role model. Every day that passes Samir's pride grows, and our pride in him grows greater and greater."
In this connection, journalist David Bedein ("www.israelbehindthenews.com") reports that official PA radio, known as Voice of Palestine, regularly praises Arab terror attacks. Calling the station the "most influential media tool in the hands of the Palestinian government," Bedein writes that it is "the official voice of the Palestinian people... You hear [it] everywhere in the Arab street. It sets the public tone... [Its] radio airwaves were provided for the PA from Israel's Ministry of Communications with the idea that the Palestinians would be able to broadcast messages of 'peace' on their own radio and in their own language" - and yet "during the past ten years, The Voice Of Palestine has consistently praised Arab terror attacks."
Last week's slaughter of a pregnant woman and her four little daughters, for instance, was described on Voice of Palestine as "an act of heroic martyrdom." As reported by Arabic media expert Dr. Michael Widlanski, the station repeatedly used the terms for "heroic martyrdom" to describe the terrorist act, and called the murders "heroic martyrs."
At least they're being 'honest' about it and not hypocrically 'condemning' such acts (which really means that the 'timing' was wrong!) However, it's the silence of the so-called Western World that appals me. They are so outraged and quick to condemn the U.S. for what was happening in Abu Ghraib. What is their response concerning the horrific cold-blooded murder of a pregnant woman with her four children? They blame the victim!! She shouldn't have been there! Well, f-ck them! In the future (soon, I hope), Moshe Feiglin (Manhigut Yehudit) will get more and more support with the idea of transfer of Arabs who refuse to live in peace with us. Why should Jews be transferred from their homes??? Those Arabs who are willing to live in peace will stay in their homes. We have nothing against Arabs who want to live in peace with us as neighbors. But they can have Jordanian citizenship, not Israeli.
When will the civilized world understand that the only way forward is for these born liars and murderers be transferred out of israel or instant death. whatever g-d they believe in i want no Fing part of. Death to them all for being a festering sore and blood sucking vulture of the decent humans out there. the back of my shoes in his pimp fathers and whore mothers face.

I'm all for the "Bibi Solution"!
Stop only thinking about Israel, lots of arabs died too in this 50 years war, there are also daughters and fathers and sons and mothers amoung them. The answer to this whole problem is not by stopping a visits here or there! grow up! The answer must be based on fair grounds: give back what is not yours, or funny enough give at least a small portion of it back. Keep saying we are terrorists? ok fine but when Europe stood up against the Nazi´s expansion they were heros, sorry sirs: same here, for us every one who stands against the occupation is a hero. By the way the rockets which are fired on us from your American machines also kill young and old. Why do u think u can keep killing us, take our land and hate us and think we would love u back???
Only one way: Give back what is not yours = 1967
I am moderate cause I didn´t say 1948......
If Palestine would change its charter and say that Israel has a right to exist everyone would be happy. I ask you..Does Israel have a right to exist? or just till it can be destroyed? During the Oslo accords Palestine was promised everything. Arafat was not happy being in charge of his own nation.
Question for Mahmoud:
What are the Palestinians doing to get back their land from Jordan?
I have not seen anything. None of the Arab countries want these people, that why they all keep them in refugee camps. Jordan has been the biggest oppresser of these people. But I ask you again, why are you not supporting the same from Jordan?
Do remember that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people, country, land, heritage, history, or anything else that says that these people existed. You cannot prove at all that these people existed as a people. The expulsion of gypsys, murders, crooks, and bums by Arab people and countries created outcasts. These are the same people that now you try to create with fantastic heritage.
You give them back thier land.
Oh, I could'nt remember, can you name one of their kings, or when thier country came into existance? I am at a loss with the answers!!!
