EU raises 2005 aid to Palestinians to €280 million

Apparently as a reward for continuing to declare that the destruction of Israel is their ultimate goal, and that Gaza was a major victory along the way. From AP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

The European Union announced details of new aid for the Palestinians, raising the 2005 total to $342.8 million on Monday - a day before talks between the four parties that drive the Mideast peace process.

If assistance from the 25 EU governments is added, Europe's total annual aid to the Palestinians amounts to some $612.15 million.

"Only Israel and Palestine can make peace, but Europe is playing its part in the international Quartet to create the environment in which peace can take root," EU Foreign Affairs Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in a statement.

Dream on, Benita.

More jizyah. More. If you know what's good for you. And don't you dare ask any Muslim state, awash in unearned billions, to contribute a penny. That's not jizyah. That's something else.

Terrorism pays! (When you have greedy traitors sitting in the White House, Congress, and the U.N.)

I posted this elsewhere, but the comment fits this story perfectly, too...

It’s amazing that as a capitalistic society that we don’t weigh the benefits of investment in the case of our contributions to Islamic countries. If Islamic countries with their greedy little hands held out for money were a company or a corporation, eventually investors, seeing no return on their money, would simply stop investing.

It has to be the jizya, there’s just no other way to explain it. Somewhere in history there must be a defining moment where the West and everybody else who gives the Arabian countries money hand over fist must’ve agreed to the Dhimmi role and the paying of the tax because there simply isn’t any other logical explanation, is there?

They’ve done nothing for us lately or any other time other than attack us, stand in the way of progress and simple human rights, beg for money and then use that money to kill us with –and the whole time they use their special ‘reality-distortion’ powers to loudly whine and complain that they’re the real victims while the plain truth is evident to anyone with eyes to see with –it’s really amazing!

Islam has been a diseased mosquito carrying around in its gut a plague that has spread too far over time. It’s way past time we cut off giving ANY money to ANY countries which have Islamic ties and really hammer into their thick heads about who’s side they’re on, just as Bush said shortly after his declared “war on terrah” and force the hands of the Muslims to do for themselves.

The mosquito of Islam needs to be smacked, squashed, and obliterated. It festers on its own well enough so if we stop feeding it nutrition, it’ll eventually whither up and die all by itself. It may take awhile, but eventually all cancers kill their host, of which their own societies now play host to.

illustr8: "The mosquito of Islam needs to be smacked, squashed, and obliterated."

King: Oh, you mean ethnic cleansing. Why didn't you say you were an ethnic cleanser to begin with! This statement is as clear, concise and dangerous as it gets and resonates with the likes of Hitler & Milosevich. What a pig you are. This quote is on equal terms with terrorists and what they do and stand for.

"The mosquito of Islam needs to be smacked, squashed, and obliterated." - illustr8


sounds like....


"...but rather the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!" - Nazi propaganda film, "The Eternal Jew"


Propaganda has taken hold in illustr8 "like a festering cancer." "It festers on its own well enough so if we stop feeding it [brain] nutrition, it’ll eventually whither up and die all by itself. It may take awhile, but eventually all cancers kill their host." If you care to keep your brain from rotting and oozing out from one of your ears, you'll stop and read what you've written above, and change that shit really quick. How far has this neo-con rot seeped? How far?

illustr8rg8r: "The mosquito of Islam needs to be smacked, squashed, and obliterated."

KingTolerance: "Oh, you mean ethnic cleansing... This statement . . . resonates with the likes of Hitler & Milosevich . . . This quote is on equal terms with terrorists and what they do and stand for."

I don't know exactly what illustr8rg8r means by his use of term "the mosquito of Islam" but KingTolerance's reading of it seems clear enough. If, as KT says, illustr8 is referring to ethnic cleansing then we should all join him in his condemnation of such sentiments. Only the most backward and wretched societies and individuals on Earth would advocate genocide on the basis of religion.

However I suspect - I don't know - but I suspect that illustr8rg8r was quite deliberate in using the term: "the mosquito of Islam" and not: "the mosquito of the Islamic people"

If that is the case then perhaps illustr8rg8r is actually expressing some sort of longing to see and end to what he/she percieves to be a backward, brutal and hostile religion that has left these unfortunate individuals with a minimal quality of life and little recourse to correct that.

Perhaps illustr8rg8r expressed himself a little inappropriately but it is the nature of this site that it deals with emotive subject matter and we all may be inclined to speak fervently about such things.

If illustr8rg8r meant: "Wipe out the Islamic people" then that statement smacks with hatred that has no place on this page or any other (except one that has been smeared with excrement and flushed down the nearest convenience).

If illustr8rg8r meant: "Wipe out Islam to free those people who suffer under it" then that statement reflects love, not hate. Love may be blind sometimes, it may be awkwardly expressed and it may be grossly misguided BUT love, in and of itself, is never wrong. And expressing love, even (nay, esspecially) for those who have been taught to hate you, is something that should be always encouraged, sometimes corrected so as to be better expressed but NEVER condemned.

Of course I could be wrong and illustr8rg8r may be a genocidal racist but his statement about Islam (which is, by definition a religion, not a people - at least in the English language) cannot, in my opinion, be seen as evidence of this.

Are you trying to convince us how smart you are kingky? You cant ethnically clean Islam, Islam is not an ethnic. Islam is an ideology, and it is not a crime against humanity to compare it with a mosquito that needs to be smashed. Now, you might not like that comparison, I find it a little unusual myself, but he has every right to make it, and calling him a pig is not helpful.

There used to be an ice cream advertised on UK TV with the jingle
Kinky... new Kinky....from Walls.
I think of it every time I see one of his posts.
So far as I can remember it was a lolly with no swirl of Allah anywhere in sight.

Walls ice cream always prompted the joke,
Q Who is the biggest ice cream seller in Israel?
A Walls of Jerico.

These guys and those apologizing anglican clowns only reinforce the fact that they have been intimidated.
This keeps coming to mind:

Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler
Purveyour of merchandise that no-body else would (or could) sell (or buy), Dibbler has been known to get into shady dealings like a fish gets into the sea. WHen all else fails, he falls back onto his sausage-inna-bun enterprise, where the sausages contain parts that might have been near a pig if you're lucky...

razorskarr: "However I suspect - I don't know - but I suspect that illustr8rg8r was quite deliberate in using the term: "the mosquito of Islam" and not: "the mosquito of the Islamic people""

King: I do appreciate the fact that you were the only one to pick up on this and offer this balanced viewpoint. I reserve that illustra8r is quite clear and this statement is tantamount to Naziism.

Granny: "I think of it [ice cream]every time I see one of his posts. So far as I can remember it was a lolly with no swirl of Allah anywhere in sight."

King: That you have ice cream on your mind when an opposing point of view is served up to you on a cone speak volumes of your intellect. It is I who then smashes that ice cream cone into your forehead! That's what happens when you simply cannot tolerate another piont of view, "Granny."

I like ice cream. I wouldn't mind being reminded of something nice.

Alas, it is the annoying inane jingle that comes to mind.

Kinkieee, new kinkieee....

Posted by: Granny Weatherwax [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 20, 2005 3:49 PM

Granny: "I wouldn't mind being reminded of something nice."

King: "Peace be upon you." There - I just reminded you of the common greeting heard throughout the Arab world. Sounds pretty pleasant to me.

No no no. 60 million dead indians (killed by mossies) are now at peace.
`Something nice` would probly be that `king tolerance life has been enriched with all this ethnix cleansing. `Jalebis` for the King.

Whew! No ad hominem there!

'Cause KingTolerance is all really about the tolerance.

Suuuure.

BTW: "Peace be upon you" really translates to something of the following:

"Peace be upon you. Oh! Unless you're a Christian, or a filthy Jew, in which case, temporary peace be upon you (if you're a citizen of an islamic country) until I can justifiably accuse you of 'breaking a treaty' (if you're a foreigner) or of insulting the bearded psychopath I call a prophet, in which case, death be unto you unless you convert or pay a punitive tax. In the former case, you will burn in hell, unless you're a Christian or Jew in name only and actually believe in my psycho "prophet", in which case you may burn in hell anyway since my god's flaky and likes to do that for kicks.

In the latter case, peace be unto you, if you wear distinctive clothing, and keep paying the punitive tax, and don't drink wine or eat bacon ANYWHERE we can see (including your own home, in some cases; we kind of make this stuff up as we go along), and don't build your churches higher than our mosques or repair them - tell you what, don't build any new ones either - and make your women cover their heads and don't complain if we abduct and rape them anyway or take them as wives - but don't even THINK about making eye contact with "our" women, and never argue against a muslim, or walk anywhere but in the gutter if one is walking down the street with you. Sorry if that seems complex; there's a whole bunch more stuff which we'll mention later as we make it up just to humiliate you. That'll do for now. You know, it really is your fault for your obstinacy! It would be simpler if you weren't "of the Book", whatever we interpret that to be this week, because then we could just kill you and send you to the hell Allah decrees for you, because he is so loving!

But, of course, because we're so peaceful, it would be so much easier if you were muslim, because then we could treat you like a human being.

Unless you were a woman, of course.

And allah knows not.

"Can't have that", sez King:

Christians, Jews, Americans and Europeans can't possibly turn around and do what Muzzies have in store for them, that would would turn his world upside down.

How bizarre! Mohammedans think they have a god-given right to wipe us out, and if we tell them that we might 'do 'em in before they get a chance he gets all hysterical!

Can't have that in Muzzie-wonderland, sez Kingkie, Allah won't allow it!

Let's start with deportations...!
