They’re dancing in the streets, handing out candy in celebration of the terrorist attacks here in the US.
God are they sick fucks!

They have some legitimate gripes and a lot of them are, basically, hillbillies. I cut 'em some slack.

Celebrations are also going on in Egypt.

Well, they’re not like us. Palestinians would be good folks, but they’ve been poisoned by hate and the Koran. If we had been taught what they were taught, we would think like they think. I feel pity for them, since they lack compassion or decency.

I wouldn’t say they have been poisoned by the Koran any more than we’ve been poisoned by The Bible.
I could understand their emotions if it were US Military that was attacked but anyone who dances in the street when civilians die is scum and should be shot.

Excuse me? You’re making a judgment on the basic humanity of a group of people based on eight seconds of video footage of SOME of them dancing in the streets? Sounds like the Palestinians aren’t the only people who’ve been poisoned by hate.

_anybody_ who celebrates 10,000 people dying is deranged.
I dont care about his religion, his hillibillyness(sp?), his race, etc. etc. He’s deranged.

Oh come on! I agree that the idiots who are posting the “All Arabs should be deported” threads are morons, but can you honestly say people who _celebrate_ the deaths of thousands of civilians have any basic humanity?
Did you dance in the streets when the photos of Iraqui dead on the “Highway of Death” where shown?
Do you cheer when you see Palestinan dead are shown on the news?
Didn’t think so (at least I hope not)
Therein lies the difference.

Palestinians send children out to die. They recruit young mne to commit suicide and kill innocent people. Did you miss the news reports of buses blown up and shopping centers destroyed? I saw the Pentagon burning today from my office window in Alexandria and I spent the day fearing for my friends who work there.
So FUCK YOU! Today is not the day to support the enemies of America, traitor.

You know, I used to have a bit of sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians. But right now, I’m having a hard time doing so.
The majority of Palestinians are having their name tarnished by the few inhuman monsters who are taking delight in death and destruction. Those few should be drug out to the street and shot… they don’t deserve a Holy Land.

Gobear, I second that FUCK YOU.
I saw one woman celebrating in that crowd of shit. Why? She probably has less rights than a turd that has just fallen out of a cockroach’s ass. To celebrate the death of army professionals - although evil in itself - is one thing, but these were civilians, with families.

**Andros** , how can I sit still and let some assmuch support people who attacked my home? I live and work near the Pentagon. I saw it burning today, I have military friends who work there. This isn’t a news story for me, this is personal. **I wish no ill against Muslims in general,** and I want peace. But the Palestinians celebrating the attack here need to die, and anyone who supports Palestinians celebrating the deaths of Americans is a traitor.

Hillbillies whose only impression of Americans is what they have seen on _Beverly Hills 90210 and Baywatch_; that that we go on week long vacations to Walt Disney World every year and get to eat Big Macs and chocolate milkshakes every day if we please and every kid had a shiny silver scooter and everybody and their soccer mom has an SUV and on and on.

Some people do what they are told to do, because
it looks good for the cameras. Of course there
are geniune people who are very happy what happened
today. But name calling and hating only made it
possible for those jets to go sailing for the
buildings and pentagon.
I’d like to see really intelligent people come up
with ways to end hatred, envy, and revenge.
The Qur’an is basically a very good book that tells
us of consequences for our actions and also is a history
of a people just like the Bible is the same.
People are People all are capable of much good and much
evil. We have our own terrorists right here in America too
don’t forget. All terriorism sucks!!

When I first saw that footage, I definitely wanted to shoot that woman in the head. You know which one I’m talking about. I say, fuck pacifism. When there is a group of people celebrating the deaths of at least 20,000 relatively innocent people, they need to be eradicated. I’m probably just speaking out of my grief and shock from this whole thing. It’s unbelievable.

Palestine doesn’t want peace with Israel, or the US for that matter. Nor does much of the Muslim world. They believe that their religion gives them leave to kill and maim the citizens of Western Democracies.
The fact that any people at all are out in the streets celebrating is indicative of a taint that spreads through much of the community. Even relatively affluent professional Palestinians no longer desire peace with Israel. They are fixated on the destruction of the state of Israel. Because we, as a Modern Western Democracy, have the gall to support another Modern Western Democracy in the fight against a terroristic insurgency by a decidedly undemocratic group, they desire our destruction as well. Time and time again, it has been proven that violence is the only currency they understand. To turn the other cheek, to be a pacifist, is to them indicative only of weakness. Concessions are weakness. They understand strength, though, and we will impress upon them with our strength our right to exist or obliterate them in the process.
Those who celebrate seek only our blood, the blood of free people the world over. Only with their blood and their tears can they be made realize we have the same right to exist as they do. One strike, one blow of cataclysmic strength, to teach them once and for all that we desire only peace.

I used to be very pro-Palestinian. The turning point for me was during the Gulf War. As Scuds rained upon Israel, Palestinian Israelis (who are some of the best off Arabs in the world economically and in terms of human rights) were standing on their roofs cheering. Didn’t matter that the missles were hitting Palestinian neighborhoods as well.their attitude was that it is OK for them to die as long as Jews are dying too.
PC aside…these are a savage people that have chosen the path of war and violence at every opportunity for over fifty years. Yeah, I wish we could all just get along but in the militant Muslim mind the highest possible ideal is to kill as many infidels as possible on the way to paradise. The Palestinians deserve every bit of violence the Israelis can inflict upon them as this point.

The pathetic thing is that the Palestinians should be very very afraid because of this. Doesn’t matter if the Palestinians had anything to do with it. The bottom line is that nothing good for the Palestinians can come from this. Israeli bombing of Palestinian infrastructure in retaliation for suicide bombings is suddenly going to seem reasonable. Israel is suddenly America’s best friend in the fight against terrorism. Suddenly America is going to have zero compassion for the “desperate” Palestinians.
Anyone see that footage of Yasser Arafat condemning the bombings? He knew. He looked liked he’d been kicked in the stomach. He was seeing the unraveling of the peace process, the unraveling of America’s restraining force on Israel, and the sudden and utter change in public opinion regarding the Palestinian situation. He was seeing his irrelevance, now that peace is impossible.
This is the worst possible thing that could happen to the Palestinians. Now they’re never going to get any sort of reasonable peace settlement. And US support for Israel is going to increase dramatically. They have no chance of destroying Israel, and now they have lost all hope of a peaceful solution. Which means they lose everything.
And they’re dancing in the streets because of it.

Now I understand how Americans of Japanese ancestry were interned. The more the world changes, the more it stays the same.
