Good thing the U.S. is giving this guy 86 million dollars, eh? "Abbas urges: 'Raise rifles against Israel': Media ignore Palestinian leader's call to arms and anti-Semitic claim Jews 'corrupting world,'" by Aaron Klein in WorldNetDaily.com, with thanks to Davida:
RAMALLAH – In a speech today commemorating the 42nd anniversary of the founding of his Fatah party, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called on Palestinian factions to put an end to weeks of infighting and instead "raise rifles against the Israeli occupation.""Shooting at your brother is forbidden. Raising rifles against the occupation is our legitimate right, but raising guns against each other is forbidden. We should put our internal fighting aside and raise our rifles only against the Israeli occupation," said Abbas in a speech in Ramallah attended by WND.
Abbas' call to arms was not reported by most major media outlets featuring articles on the Palestinian leader's speech.
His statements about using rifles against Israel come after WND broke the story this morning the United States, aided by Israel, over the last few weeks provided 7,000 assault rifles and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition to militias associated with Abbas' Fatah party, according to senior Fatah militants.
In today's speech, Abbas went on to praise late Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in March 2004.
He also used Quranic verses to claim Jews are corrupting the world.
"The sons of Israel are mentioned as those who are corrupting humanity on earth," Abbas said during a portion of his speech in which he criticized recent Israeli anti-terror raids in the northern West Bank.
Abbas anti-Semitic remarks and his call to arms against the Jewish state were not quoted in hundreds of English-language articles reporting on today's speech or by most major Israeli dailies, which featured pieces on their websites about the Fatah commemoration ceremonies.
A widely-circulated Associated Press article, titled "Abbas calls for respect at Fatah rally," states Abbas today called for rival factions to respect each other.
The AP quotes Abbas stating, "Shooting at your brother is forbidden," but the article stops short of quoting the rest of his sentence in which he recommends Palestinians use their weapons against Israel.
Read it all.
Fatah is corrupt and hamas/islamic jihad are puppets of iran. What real hope do those people have over there??? NONE
These type of stories assist certain American taxpayers with their decisions regarding tax sheltered vacation destinations.
Maybe someone should send this to Condi at the State Dept., but I have my doubts as to whether or not they're literate...or maybe they're just too busy watering their camels and looking after the harems...
I've been grousing about this for a very long time; and this doesn't include the $246 million gift of US taxpayer dollars that was given to Hamas last year!
You gotta love it; the taxpayers work for their money, the US government takes its "fair share" of their earnings, and gives it to the very people sworn to kill the taxpayers -- or Israel!
It is so dumb; it's almost funny!
Well for goodness sakes Condi must be thinking these folks were driven to this unpleasantness because they are such a "humiliated" group, so sweet and so kind but drive to this by the US and the Zionists. Perhaps she'll don those knee high leather boots and her split skirt and catch a plane to talk some sense into these poor hurting folk.

I'm sure the State Department thinks this is a positive development for "stability" and the "two-state solution." "Why, this kind of hostility is useful in building up a national identity and... blah... blah..."
Wouldn't it be nice if the United States had representation in the State Department?
Well we do give Egypt $2,000,000,000 a year which is a lot more than $86,000,000 and I believe we give a billion to the UN or thereabouts and we are going to pay hundreds of millions for the new madrassa the UN wants to build in NYC and we are going to finance it some riciculously low interest loan that will be paid by our contributions, uh, scratch that, jizyah.
Need I go on...
Just remember this free money( yours,mine,ours) that Bush and his friends keep giving to our friends? that turn against us regularly. When i have my taxes done at a local firm i get asked if i want to donate $1 to a party of my choice. I answer yes, my party that im having at my house, won't buy much but i feel good knowing that i've contributed to a noble cause!!!
Alas. One more reason to let the West Bank and Gaza streets eat the garbage which they can't seem to collect. Maybe, if nobody gave a dime, those burly young toughs would have to find work, however menial, or watch their ululating womenfolk starve.
but but but...
abbas is a "moderate"....
what about the arms and ammo we just sent over to fatah?
fucking 'state' and condi (make no mistake her strings are being pulled not by GWB but by the minions of GHWB and WJC and their 'new fucking world order' under the guise of the un).
may God give Israel the strength to take the gloves off and show the West how to deal with these islamic scum.
oh wait...olmert. i guess we are destined for many more decades of battle with islam (as if 1400 years wasn't enough!)
damn, why can't the world wake up? these scum deserve nothing less than to become martyrs for their cause...all of them who can't live in peace with others of different faiths. this was the sentiment of Gearge Patton. you win by making those bastards die for their cause.
giving these animals 7k rifle just may push them over the edge to where they would confront an actual armed force.
Nothing could be better. 7000 rifles in the hands of moslems against the IDF = 7000 looking for virgins.
good move.
What we are seeing and have been seing for the kast 40 years is the old phrase,"lesser of 2 evils"
seeing, sorry eyes getting out of focus
Re-newed peace efforts could insure the weapons are put to the proper use.
Abbas. the darling of the Left and the MSM. Who can never be shown to have ever uttered a racist anti Semitic word. The last Sultan for a "viable" 2 State solution. Being pressed to settle a compromised peace. Runs smack dab into the wall called Hammas. Who swears what? The one thing the MSM tells you really isn't true. Hammas' stated declaration of war against Israel.
Given the players, the money, the Glory, with a heavy dose of psychotic religious motivation. What else could one expect except a blood bath.
Some of the comments between the interviewees openly state that some weapons, no matter who gets them, will be used to kill one another. We just need enough "peace initiatives" to help max out that number.
Make them fight it out over who wants peace with Israel less.
Condi seems to receive a lot of criticism for her policy regarding Palistain. It seems to me that every time she talks peace. Fatah and Hammas start shooting at one another. As long as Hammas is around, Olmert can promise the World knowing he will never need to deliver.
The Israeli war with Hezbollah made it quite clear that nobody was in any big rush to "intervene".
The same will hold true when the Palistainians start killing each other.
I'm all for peace talks. The more the merrier. We all know nothing ever gets done without them.
This was a call to murder. For Abbas quoted Quran 5:64, and in doing so, in quoting that one of many verses that whips up hatred of Muslims toward Jews, he was trying to show that he was just as true and fanatical a Believer as his rivals in Hamas, and that no one should misunderstand him: he is for the Slow Jihad rather than the Fast Jihad because he is a bit cleverer than the people in Hamas, and is willing to lie about his ultimate goal just a bit more convincingly.
But not a single report about Abbas's speech mentioned Quran 5:64. Why not?
If the newspapers, radio, television, had any sense at all, they would realize that only those who know about Islam can make sense of what is being thought, being alluded to, being expressly said, by Arabs and Muslims.
The most important thing about Abbas's speech is his quotation of Qur'an 5:64. This is the verse in which the Jews are accused by Allah of "spreading corruption throughout the land" and Allah does not love -- wishes to see destroyed -- those who "spread corruption through the land." It amounts in the minds of devout Muslims to a complete denunication of the Jews; it is, along with so many other Qur'anic verses and stories from Hadith, that collective stream of hate that should put one in mind, for in effect if not in source it is no different, from the most dangerous antisemitic literature to come out of Europe.
And yet -- not a word by the State Department denouncing Abbas. Not a word from anyone else in the government, or from the U.N. Or from any Jewish group. Why? Because, apparently, if the Qur'an is quoted, the Qur'an must not be criticized. Indeed, the passage quoted must not even be mentioned. It's beyond criticism. It's "religion."
Here it is in the translation of A. J. Arberry:
"The Jews have said, 'God's hand is fettered.' Fettered are their hands, and they are cursed for what they have said. Nay, but His hands are outspread; He expends how He will. And what has been sent down to thee from thy Lord will surely increase many of them in insolence and unbelief; and We have cast between them enmity and hatred, till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they light a fire for war, God will extinguish it. They hasten about the earth, to do corruption there; and God loves not the workers of corruption."
Yeah, nice and peaceful words from a great statesman. Israel needs to aim some rifles at this viper from a nest of total losers. Lucky for him and his fellow snakes that Israel is suffering from a terminal case of suicidal stupidity-Abbas would be saying nothing now because he would be long dead if Israel's old leaders were in power today.
Must be too much Sun, everyone over there has a hot head ! I don't think anyone has anymore strength to throw rocks, let alone rifles. I think everyone, including Palestine should think of their futures and start dealing with it. The U.S. "Golden Goose" is going dormant by 2008.
Oh great--let's give the thugs more guns and more money and blah blah blah.
When will we deal with our enemies as enemies? Perhaps we need a spirit of jihad against these jihadis of all stripes. We should crush them at every turn and make no apologies.
I wonder why Israel stopped using assasination against top Jihadists.
It worked exceedingly well for Byzantium, although civil wars doomed us to eventually be defeated by Jihad.
You gotta love it; the taxpayers work for their money, the US government takes its "fair share" of their earnings, and gives it to the very people sworn to kill the taxpayers -- or Israel!
It is so dumb; it's almost funny!

Yeah.. I never got why should we Western taxpayers pay for these monkeys to run around shaking their AK-47's while the Israelis toil in the fields and their Kibbuzzes. if the Israelis can work the land then why can't the Pals?
Oh, it's the *koran*, stupid!
I think he is worried about hamas and fatah wiping each other out. They have been killing each other consistently for some time now.
Palestinian leader's call to arms and anti-Semitic claim Jews 'corrupting world,'"
My gosh with non-stop world wide Muslim violence, and about 7000 terrorist attacks since sep 11th by no other religion than Islam, they have the audacity to say that this tiny little country is the problem... come on world wake up. What exactly has this little country of about 6 to 9 million people done to the billions of Arabs around them??? I think it is that they exist, of course Israel fights back when terrorists are not stopped by Muslim leaders from killing their babies, children and adults in their kindergartens, schools, shopping centers and synagogues etc,, and any decent country would protect their own also,, they are doing better at protecting their own from the terrorists and Muslims than we are....
witness, you hit the nail on the head and Britian, NZ, Canada and Australia are also giving money, I think it is ordered by the UN, and how many Arabs are there in the UN..
please correct me if I am wrong someone...
I do know that Australia gives money no matter which party is in government... I would also like someone to enlighten me as to where is the proof that the trillions that we tax payers put into this country is in fact doing any good.. the stupid infidels give teir hard earned money so as their leaders can live a life of luxury while their people continue to starve...Isnt this why they keep the wars going so the stupid infidels will continue to line their pockets???/
Yes John Sobieski do go on, I hadnt realised that America was that stupid,, and obviously every country in the west is no better and we deserve to loose to them...IF after years of helping them we saw some massive improvements in the situation then I wouldnt mind helping, but to keep throwing our hard earned money down a bottomless well is not my cup of tea... How the muslim must laugh at us, we work out guts out and they reap the benifits and then also take out countries as well... well what fools we are...what brainless fools...
"Shooting at your brother is forbidden"
.......unless it is for an honor killing, or he has a fatwah upon him, or he is a Jew, or he is a Sunni , Or he is a Shiite, or he is Hindu, or he is a Catholic, or he is American, or he is a gargabe collector , or he is just there......
Abbas’ statement goes beyond an angry reaction to Israel’s anti-terrorist raids—policing actions that the PA itself should be conducting if it were a legitimate authority. It is an expression of an anti-Jewish sentment that is deeply entrenched in Islamic culture. The basis for this statement, and the sentiment, derives from the Koran. And when the “moderate” Abbas talks of turning the rifles against (i.e., killing) the Jews, again the punishment he describes is based on the Koran.
Koran, 5:33 (Arberry). “This is the recompense of those who fight against God and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do *corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement”

Proved it possible that tomatoes and oranges can be grown in the desert
"The sons of Israel are mentioned as those who are corrupting humanity on earth,"
Jimmy Carter will be so very proud of Abbas now!

All the above were just 'misunderstandings' - unfair propaganda against the innocent muslims.
Now for some truth.
Did you hear the breaking news that Iran found the crashed UFO and they are hosting the aliens? Yes they really did! The aliens from another planet are walking around in silver air-conditioned suits in southern Iran, handing out bugged canadian coins and smoking cuban cigars! Really! They confessed to the accidental encounter with a couple of swarms of birds in Texas and Australia - apparently the birds damaged their zytron meckno engines and they began leaking zippidoo vapors over New York. Fortunately, they managed to run the ship on the backup krystattian system before making an emergency landing in a small village in southern Iran.
Pelayo urges: "Raise rifles against jihad!"
the MUSLIM UFOs probably came from the spaceship that Louie (the lip)Farrakhans (from the Nation of Islam organization fame) wife Rita has been boasting about for several years......
Could be some truth about it after all...
Finally, the UFO has come to take Im A Nut back home. With Mo no doubt.
Yeah, that's real intelligent; raise rifles against Israel, so as they'll raise missles at Lebanon.
What get's me, is they call us immoral ?
