But remember: they sincerely want peace! A stable, secure Palestinian state with contiguous borders will solve the problem forthwith!
"Hizbullah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah on Al-Quds Day: 'Israel Must Be Wiped Out Of Existence,'" from MEMRI, October 8 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Read it all.In a televised address screened at the Sayyed Al-Shuhada complex in Dhahiya on International Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, September 18, 2009, Hizbullah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah laid down the main tenets of his organization. He stated: 1) that the historical Palestine - from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan - belongs to the Palestinian people and to the entire Muslim nation; 2) that no one has the right to relinquish even a grain of Palestine's soil or a drop of its waters; 3) that the Israeli entity is an occupying, aggressive, cancerous body that contravenes religious law, and is therefore illegal; 4) that it is forbidden to recognize the Israeli entity or to acknowledge its legitimacy or existence; and 5) that it is forbidden to establish ties or to normalize relations with Israel. Nasrallah went on to state that Israel must cease to exist, that the next war would change the regional map, and that Hizbullah can destroy half of the Israeli army. [...]
"We say clearly and honestly and declare that the entire Palestinian territory is a possession of the Palestinian people. It belongs to them and to the entire Ummah. The Zionists own nothing and have no rights in this land. We are ready to discuss issues upon religious, historical, logical, reasonable, and legal basis and in reference to holy books - including the Old Testament which is well known to be adopted by the Jews of this age and earlier ages as to what we know from history."We assure that Palestine is the right of this nation and this Ummah and it is not a right for the Zionists at all. During the Holy Month of Ramadhan, Muslims read in the Holy Koran, trying to finish reciting it once and twice and maybe more. They try to study the meanings and lessons the Koran holds within its folds.
"The Holy Koran talks a lot about the people of 'Israel' and the prophets of these people - not only the Koran talks about them but so do the other holy books, especially the Torah. Based on the Koran and Islam, we accept that Allah, may He be praised and extolled, promised to Abraham that the Holy Land would be populated with his descendents. We do not deny this: it appears in our Koranic texts...
"However, Abraham's seed are not Jews nor Zionists - either as a political or religious stream, or as a tribe or a race. It is not only the children of Israel [who are Abraham's seed]... A great part of the Arabs are [also] Abraham's descendents. Abraham fathered Ishmael and Isaac. In the Torah, in the New Testament, in Zabour [David's book of psalms], and in the Koran it is stated that Allah had promised Abraham's descendents the Holy Land. [But] which 'seed'?! To the sane among them. To the believers among them. To the pure among them. To the god-fearing among them. To those who went after Abraham - that patriarch and prophet - and followed his religion. [2]
"As for the criminal and murderous limb of Abraham's progeny, who killed the prophets, spread corruption in the land, and committed atrocities and sins... these were not given any promises to start with... They were not given promises from the outset. It is found in the Old Testament and in history books, that after Moses brought the Israelites across to the blessed land of Palestine, they began to worship the calf and idols, disobeyed God, [and] hurt and conspired against his prophet and his brother Aaron. Consequently, God ordered them out to wander through the desert for 40 years, away from the reaches of their land.
"So, no promises were made to them.

Mahmoud No-One-Here-But-Us-Accountants Abbas does not disagree. How could he? Does he possess a different Qur'an, a different set of Bukhari or Muslim or other hadith-winnowers? Does he have a different Life of Muhammad, other than the standard Muslim biographies? He does not. Where he begs, and only very very slightly, to differ with Hamas, is on the matter of tactics and timing. He takes a slightly longer view, because he is more realistic about the present strength of Israel, and doesn't want, as Hamas does, to go in for the kill right away. He has a keener sense, than does Hamas, of how such a strategy may rally even the dizziest of Israeli leftists (leaving aside, of course, those fit only for the Laughing Academy, such as certain columnists in Haaretz and members of Meretz), and he wishes to demoralize and confuse the Jews of Israel. And what's even more important, he wants that Infidel aid to keep pouring in. Oh, that reminds me. There is one other thing that divides the Fast Jihadists of Hamas and the Slow Jihadists of Fatah. The latter not only want a continued flow of money and materiel from America and Europe, but also want to appropriate a great deal of it for themselves, and have no desire to share with the leaders of Hamas. Think of crime bosses everywhere. Chicago, round about 1924, or Las Vegas, round about 1950, or the Tong Wars in Chinatowns, or the Bloods and the Crips today. That’s Hamas with Fatah. That’s Fatah with Hamas. The victims of the crimes committed by both remain the victims, whatever the criminals decide about disposition of the loot.
Nasrallah is a grotesque spiritual imposter and the fecal matter emerging from his mouth is load of typical toxic muhammadan drivel. But it's Friday, so I think we could all benefit from a little comic relief.
My nightly reading is "The Innocents Abroad" by favored author Mark Twain. Last night, over a baja beef chalupa and beer, I came across the following amusing passage:
"If you want dwarfs--I mean just a few dwarfs for a curiosity--go to Genoa. If you wish to buy them by the gross, for retail, go to Milan. There are plenty of dwarfs all over Italy, but it did seem to me that in Milan the crop was luxuriant. If you would see a fair average style of assorted cripples, go to Naples, or travel through the Roman States. But if you would see the very heart and home of cripples and human monsters, both, go straight to Constantinople. A beggar in Naples who can show a foot which has all run into one horrible toe, with one shapeless nail on it, has a fortune--but such an exhibition as that would not provoke any notice in Constantinople. The man would starve. Who would pay any attention to attractions like his among the rare monsters that throng the bridges of the Golden Horn and display their deformities in the gutters of Stamboul? O, wretched impostor! How could he stand against the three-legged woman, and the man with his eye in his cheek? How would he blush in presence of the man with fingers on his elbow? Where would he hide himself when the dwarf with seven fingers on each hand, no upper lip, and his under-jaw gone, came down in his majesty? Bismillah! The cripples of Europe are a delusion and a fraud. The truly gifted flourish only in the by-ways of Pera and Stamboul.
"That three-legged woman lay on the bridge, with her stock in trade so disposed as to command the most striking effect--one natural leg, and two long, slender, twisted ones with feet on them like somebody else's fore-arm. Then there was a man further along who had no eyes, and whose face was the color of a fly-blown beefsteak, and wrinkled and twisted like a lava-flow--and verily so tumbled and distorted were his features that no man could tell the wart that served him for a nose from his cheek-bones. In Stamboul was a man with a prodigious head, an uncommonly long body, legs eight inches long and feet like snow-shoes. He traveled on those feet and his hands, and was as sway-backed as if the Colossus of Rhodes had been riding him. Ah, a beggar has to have exceedingly good points to make a living in Constantinople. A blue-faced man, who had nothing to offer except that he had been blown up in a mine, would be regarded as a rank impostor, and a mere damaged soldier on crutches would never make a cent. It would pay him to get apiece of his head taken off, and cultivate a wen like a carpet sack."

I wish I could join the struggle,and destroy Hizballah,with my bare hands.
It is all that's good in the world
vs
all's that's evil,which is ISLAM.
It's interesting to note that no Arab was named Abraham/Ibrahim before Mohammed. Neither were they named Ishmael or Hagar before Mohammed. It is clear what has happened is that Islam took the lineage of Abraham unto itself when there is absolutely no basis for it in history.
"If Abraham and Ishmael were TRULY the ANCESTORS of the Arabs, it stands to reason that at least SOME Arabs would have carried their name. NONE did"
"No where does the Quran even intimate that the Arabs are descended from Abraham and Ishmael but only that they were the first 'Muslims' and the alleged builders of the foundation of the Ka'ba."
"Muhammad had to create for himself and his followers a WORTHY ancestry befitting'the prophet of Allah'. He had the genius to MINE the Bible from among the Hebrew characters, precepts, concepts, thoughts and ideas as a foundation for his new 'scripture'."
The above quotes are from: http://inthenameofallah.org/Black%20Stone%20OR%20Hajar%20al%20Aswad.html
There are a lot more interesting facts at this site.
Nasrallah repeats the the Quranic accusation that the Jews killed the Prophets. (Surah 2:92) This statement actually reflects something Jesus said in Matthew 23:34-35 and Luke 11:51. The only prophet killed was Zachariah who lived around 900 BC. (See 2 Chronicles 24:20-22.) This creates a problem for Islamic theology because those portions of the Old and New Testaments aren't acknowledged in the Quran. The Injil (gospel) of the Quran is described by Muhammad Asad as "an original, since lost, revelation bestowed upon Jesus and known to his contemporaries under its Greek name of Evangelion ('Good Tiding'). . ." If the Ingil were "bestowed on Jesus," it could hardly include quotes by Jesus made three days before his Crucifixion. So, Islamic scholars can identify the prophet(s) that the Jews killed only by referencing scriptures they deny exist. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!"
Muslims are not Abraham's 'seed' but rather Ishmael's rotting fruit. Ishmael was cast out for a reason. Since God
is omnipotent and omniscient, God must have felt guilt for the understandable mistake of creating Islam (and therefore Muslims) and thus Ishmael was cast out. Only in hindsight can you realize your mistakes.
Somehow I do not think Israel is scared of cross-dressing Shiite pedophiles who jerk off to fantasies of an invisible
hidden Imam (who also wears a dress and jerks off).
A great part of the Arabs are [also] Abraham's descendents. Abraham fathered Ishmael and Isaac.
.................
It is worth noting here that while the Biblical story involves the "sacrifice of Isaac", the Qur'an changes the story to the "sacrifice of Ishmael".
this may seem like a fine point--but you can see from above that it is not. In the original story, it is the ancestor of Jews (and spiritual ancestor of Christians) who Abraham most values--Isaac, his son with his wife, Sarai.
In the Qur'an, it is the father of the pagan Arabs, Ishmael, who Abraham cherishes--this, combined with the claim in Islam that Abraham himself was a Muslim, skews the entire story.
