“We shoot them in the head and no questions asked”
Adam Keller & Beate Zilversmidt
(Some tidbits from a depressing weekend.)
· How did six Palestinian policemen die, yesterday in Salfeet on the northern part of the West Bank? The IDF spokesman claims they were killed in battle with Israeli troops. Palestinian sources say they were killed AFTER being surprised and disarmed. The truth will probably never come out.
· Less doubt about the four Palestinians killed today at Beit Hanun in the Gaza Strip. It seems that three of them were boys, resisting with nothing but stones the massive Israeli forces which invaded their town, infantry and tanks and armored personnel carriers.
· Yesterday, on prime time First Channel Israeli TV, an interview with a reserve soldier fresh from a tour of duty in the Territories. A likeable-seeming fellow, slightly balding, with a baby on his knees. Opposite him in the simply-furnished living room, his wife with an older child.
Wife: “Whenever you go there, I am very worried.
I know how many difficulties and worries you have, whether or not to shoot.”
Soldier: “Actually, nowadays there is much less
of a dilemma. We more or less got a clearance from both the military and
the political echelons. Nowadays, we shoot them in the head and no
questions asked” (smiling while caressing baby’s head).
Wife: “You want to be a big hero, but the end will be I will have to bring up alone these kids”.
[As of this minute, there came no denial from either the military or the political echelon that such a “clearance” was given to soldiers. Actually, the interview failed to cause any big furore - which is a significant datum in itself.]
· A curious interview with Foreign Minister Peres in yesterday’s Yediot Aharonot. “Some of Sharon’s military operations make me horrified... I hope that the policy of liquidations is not extended to include the Palestinian political echelons. If it is, we are going quite soon to be declared war criminals by the international community.” Having said that, does he intend to resign? “Not at all. I still hope to be able to work fruitfully together with Mr. Sharon”.
· This evening, at the Peace Now vigil outside the Prime Minister’s residence in Jerusalem, many voices chanting in unison “Sharon, Sharon, the Hague is waiting” - punctuated by beating on a large drum brought along by one of the
participants. The chanting was highly audible inside the building and
along the neighboring streets, and the vigil figured prominently on the
TV news, somewhat denting Sharon’s claim to have the backing of “a
united nation”. Some participants called out :”Peres, Peres, don’t
despair - for you there is place too in the Hague!”
· A minor news story dug up by Nahum Barnea of Yediot Aharonot:
a person or persons unknown has been recently spray-painting the words
“WAR CRIMINAL” on cars bearing military license plates in the Tel-Aviv
area, including the car of a senior Air Force commander. The army
dismissed the affair as “The act of a deranged person”; nevertheless, the
plan was announced to phase out within half a year the distinctive black
license plates which decorated IDF vehicles since the State of Israel and
its armed forces were created; instead, military cars would be equipped
with yellow plated indistinguishable from those of civilian vehicles.
· So much for deranged persons, and now the planned activity of those who are considered sane around here:
Tomorrow (Sunday, 16/12), at 12.30 PM, West Bank settlers intend to
hold the
inauguration ceremony of a new settlement, with a procession, under
close military guard, from the existing settlement of Enav (southeast of
Tul Karm on the West Bank) to a hill to the north, where the new settlement
will be erected.
· Three hours later, at 3.30 PM, settlers at another settlement,
Sa Nur, intend to ceremoniously transform a mosque into a synagogue. The
mosque was erected on the site by soldiers of the Jordanian Army which
prior to 1967 had a camp nearby, and was afterwards used occasionally by
local villagers. When an Israeli settlement named Sa Nur was established
on the spot, the mosque was enclosed within its fortified perimeter and
further access denied to Muslim worshippers. Now, the Sa Nur settlers,
members of the ultra-orthodox Chabad movement, intend to transform
it into a synagogue and place a Torah scroll in the niche which the original
builders installed according to the Islamic tradition - in the direction
of Mecca.

As bad as this sounds, I'm not upset by them shooting at rock throwers.
How fucking dumb do you have to be to throw rocks at a tank?
Must be something the Zionist conspirators are putting in the water.

They use sling shots. If the rock hits a human
being in the head he could easily die.
They also use Molotov bombs and have
other Arab Terrorists behind them firing
live bullets.

Looks like a fair fight to me!
Blowing up 22 little girls standing in line for a Tel-Aviv disco
is a "fair" fight? This poster needs a shrink -- fast.
The "Palestinian" Arabs deserve what they've done to
themselves. Pointing fingers at "others" won't work.

Well, the zionists have been crying for fifty years that they're outgunned,
that's how they get six billion US tax dollars a year.

If it was a fight, they all would be dead by now. It is police action.
Arabs signed peace with Israel. If it's a fight, let's have real war,
with artillery working out areas for 48 hours before the attack.

Maybe it's finally time to start using the F-16s, and
tanks SERIOUSLY, then!!!!

Racism and brutal slavery and subjugation of Africans, Asians,

Family and individual violence that fills jails with criminals
Acceptance and spread of sexual promiscuity and deviance
The Inquisition
The Crusades
...and the list goes on
And from whom did they learn the tactics of telling Muslims "We are
your
friends" while destroying their very lives and foundations?
Napolean - who claimed himself and all of France to be Muslims and not
against Islam only to go on to destroy Al-Azhar and so many Islamic
monuments?
Stalin - who promised the Muslims in the Soviet Republics freedom only
to
destroy as many vestiges of Islam as he could and execute those who
even
recited the Qur'aan and attempt to cleanse and relocate entire Muslim
populations?
It sure wasn't Al-Azhar in Egypt, the Islamic University of Medina in
Saudi
Arabia, or any other institutions of Islamic learning in the Muslim
world!
So who pray tell has really bred the terrorism and violence as we know
it in
this day and age. From where is its source?
Shouldn't THAT be who the "War on Terror" concentrates on and roots
out?

Polygamy in Christian west
Please find below an extract
[METRO (UK), Friday 30/11/01
BY DAVID FICKLING
RISKY sex is leading to a dramatic increase in sexually transmitted
diseases, it was revealed yesterday. A survey charting sexual
behaviour in Britain shows we are sleeping with more partners than ten
years ago.
More people are cheating on their partners, more are experimenting
with homosexuality, especially women, while more men are visiting
prostitutes. One in ten adults has had a sexually transmitted
infection, the £1.4million Government survey of sexual attitudes and
lifestyles found. And one in 23 men has paid for sex in the past five
years, rising to one in 11 men living in London.
This compares with just one in 48 in 1990. Half of all people with a
new partner in the past year had sex within one month of meeting,
while a quarter of women and nearly a third of men have had sex under
the 'age of 16. The survey tallies with new Public Health Laboratory
Service figures showing the rates of common sexually transmitted
diseases rocketing in the past five years, while HIV, the virus which
leads to Aids, is showing no sign of decline.
It found diagnoses of gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland have more than doubled between 1995 and
2000. And it estimates as many as one in 11 sexually active young
women may have chlamydia, many of whom will be unaware it can cause
infertility if left untreated;
The PHLS review - HIV and AIDS in the UK -focuses on the HIV epidemic
and shows that despite advances in treatment during the past decade,
the outlook may be worsening. The year 2000 saw the highest number of
new cases ever in the UK.]
