But remember: they sincerely want peace! "Fatah Leader, School Books Supports Terrorism Against US in Iraq," by Ezra HaLevi for Israel National News (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
(IsraelNN.com) A leader of Mahmoud Abbas's US-backed Fatah party has come out in support of the terrorist war being fought against US and British forces in Iraq. PA text books for school children also push attacks on American and British forcesMahmoud Ismail, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, expressed his support for the war on the US during an interview on official Palestinian Authority (PA) TV, which is under the control of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The clip was recorded and translated by Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors incitement on PA television.
Ismail further defined the US -Britain alliance fighting in Iraq as the Arab Nation's "enemies, the imperialists," and justified the "right to struggle and to resistance [euphemism for terror -PMW] in all possible ways in all the occupied lands." Those occupied lands, he said, include "Palestine" and Iraq.
PMW translated Ismail’s complete statements, made on PA television on February 26, 2008:
"I want to cite the actions and future actions of President [Abbas], from the starting point that the Palestine cause is the essential and central cause of the Arab Nation. It's not surprising that [to] certain journalists of the current despicable American era, our [Arab nationalist] language of the 50s and 60s is outdated, when we talk about the nature of the struggle between the Arab Nation and its enemies: the Imperialists and Zionists, who attack and occupy our territories inside Palestine and outside, in Iraq, in the remains of South Lebanon and the Golan.
"We [however,] take pride in this [Arab nationalist] language because we are the authentic Arabs who believe in our Arabism, our faith, our cause, our Nation, in our right to struggle and to resistance [euphemism for terror] in all possible ways in all the occupied lands, in Palestine, Lebanon the Golan and Iraq..."PA Text Books Call For Fighting Americans and British in Iraq
"Palestinian support for those fighting American and British soldiers in Iraq is mainstream Palestinian ideology," Palestinian Media Watch Director Itamar Marcus says. One example given is a recently published PA textbook for schoolchildren, Contemporary Problems (grade 12, p. 92), in which fighting between the Islamic-Arab world and the West is described as a "Clash of Civilizations." The book frequently expains that the clash is led by the United States and Iraq, PMW reports.Fighting against American and British soldiers in Iraq is "brave resistance to liberate Iraq" from "occupation" according to the Grade 12 textboom "History of the Arabs and the World in the 20th Century." (p. 147)
"Islam is said to promote Human Rights (Contemporary Problems, pp. 95-96), while the US and the West are described as 'the colonialist states, [who] are taking advantage of it [human rights]' and 'interfering in the matters of other states, as is happening in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur...' (ibid, p. 101) America is guilty of 'violations of international humanitarian law in Iraq and Afghanistan...' (ibid, p. 108)According to PMW, the PA schoolbooks were published with foreign money, primarily from Belgium....

The "Authentic Arabs" are the occupiers. They are the ones who have been occupying non-Muslim lands for centuries.
"Peace" to them means a world where everyone is a Muslim. They only extend peaceful greetings to fellow Muslims. Everyone else is an enemy.
This is most certainly not a "clash of civilizations". It is a battle between civilization and barbarism.

So much for our 'friends'.
These 'friends' constitute an enormous problem if we dont not know who we are.
Saw Kate Blanchet in TV movie "The Missing" (?)last nite where the multi culti lesson appeared to be - look for friends and enemies in strange places.
Well we sure are doing that - to our own detriment and destruction.
The enemy is the bitch on the next block trying to force your wife to wear a hijab.
If we dont know who we are, these abominations can occur.

War is deceit.

Well I guess that settles it infidels. 'Authentic' Arabs...What then is an unauthentic Arab?
Don't think about that too hard. It's only 'authentic' Arabs we must listen to and eventually obey. I had no idea there was such a thing as an 'authentic' Arab. I wonder what other Arabs think of that statement?
And the money from Belgium? Probably just a stop along the way. Most likely originated in Saudi. That's just a hunch...

Lebanon is also 'occupied?'
Interesting.
So is Spain. (Al Andaluz) Kashmir, all of India, Thailand, the Philippines, Europe, Australia & America.
Its quite a program they have.
But they're certainly chipping away...

The US and Israel have ingnored Palestinian incitement from the day Arafat returned to the West Bank in the 90's. Why stop now?

This sounds like the king of script Hollywood might be looking for: "Jihadists without a cause, with a cast of thousands of Islamic James Deans"

Well, yeah they do want peace. It is just that a muslim peace and peace as we think of it are two different things (gee, why don't our politicians and embassadors and treaty makers know this!!?!!).
They want us 1. dead, 2. converted to islam, or 3. subjugated.
We want freedom for all, a person to make a living and support their family, and equality of laws for all?! Oh, that is totally against islam though. And Iraq drew up its set of laws based on sharia law - so there is going to be none of that nonsense of what we think freedom should be.
Until our guys 'get it' and demand that there will only be the muslim way. We should be writing treaties, laws (if we are going to build countries), etc that DEMAND all these rights and have consequences of they are not met. And believe me - I have no idea how to do that.
If they disobeyed - and we withdrew money - all they would do is turn towards iran and saudi arabia. oh, I forget they are doing that now.

These books should prepare them nicely for what is being taught in our universities across America.

That's funny, I didn't know attacks against the military was terrorism. Someone must have changed international rules without me noticing!

"Grade 12 textboom"? A beautiful freudian slip. The textbook that's intended to make the students suicide bombers.

Every Lebanese person I have ever spoken with has let me know very quickly that they are not Arab, but Phonician. . . .
