PA mounts anti-fence campaign
<snip>

The Palestinian Authority has decided to embark on a diplomatic offensive aimed at forcing Israel to halt construction of the security fence in the West Bank.

<snip>

PA Chairman Yasser Arafat, speaking to reporters outside his office in Ramallah, called on the international community to take immediate action to stop construction of the fence.

"I appeal to the international public opinion, the Quartet, the Arab League, and the Non-Aligned countries to stop this destruction of the peace process," he said.

"Until when will they continue to watch these Nazi and racist crimes against our people? The fence devours more than 60 percent of our land. What does all this mean? It means that the Israeli government is sabotaging the peace process."

1. The EU actually cares
I keep watching 'Mosaic' on Worldlink TV (recommended to all devoid of any command of the Arabic language and non-receptivity of Al-Jazeerah on Dishnet (occasionally subtitled)).

There are EU delegations over there constantly meeting with Arafat and the band but none of us know here. Let's face it - Your satellite carries anything but the Truth.

Everybody sees that this is it. Jeff Halper's speech is an admission of defeat.

After the U.S. state department caved in and all moral standards have been abandoned (ugh) by the Bush Crime Family (who would've thought?) the Palestinians are done in for. Pretty soon all they have left is little more land than my backyard. Relegated to history.

3. Too bad
The PA should have mounted an anti-push Israel into the sea many years ago when the Arab world tried to destroy Israel. The PA is reaping what they have sown.

6. It's not too late...
...3 words:
"campaign finance reform"

U.S. politicians are indebted to Israeli interests. Campaign finance reform, enacted today, would change the situation.

10. Do you have a link?
BTW, are you aware that in the past, on "review website" pages, various members names have been hijacked to be used to post nasty screeds about DU. And why would anyone include The Magistrate or bemildred on that list? I haven't read a lot from LDII, but this seems not really in character.

21. You are aware, I'm sure..
that several users here have had their names hijacked by freepers to post negative reviews on Alexa (ask khephra, one of the first victims of this). I am willing to wait until LastDem has a chance to comment on this. BTW, the prose in this review sounds rather purple for LastDem.

17. So you think that I support terrorists?
Or do you think that I don't deserve an apology?

20. You said...
that bemidred and the Magistrate deserved an apology. You forgot to mention the others who were smeared.

No, you didn't say it. You just implied it.

14. why was Forkboy's post deleted?
Edited on Fri Oct-03-03 12:06 PM by Aidoneus
It was something LastDemInIdaho wrote in a review for DU on alexa.com ... why so many deletions lately? It is beyond absurd.

8. For Those Keeping Score
An inanimate wall: "Nazi and racist crimes against the Palestinian people" and an act of "sabatoge" against the peace process.

All of the suicide and other forms of bombing that barbarically slaughtered deleberately targeted innocent Israelis and was the reason why the wall is being built in the first place: If we use Yassir's logic, neither punishible crimes for which the perpetrators must be brought to justice and the organizations from whence they came dismantled at any cost, nor a detriment to the peace process.

Interesting color the sky is on Planet Arafat.

How anyone can post his drivel as a legitimate critique of Israel is utterly beyond me.
