Is any plan to create a terrorist state a "Peace Plan"?

Why can't the U.N. prove their worth by resettling all of these bad Israeli Arab "citizens" with their own kind in West Jordan? Bible Probe agrees with Israeli Foreign Minister Netanyahu that the U.S. plan of creating a Palestinian state within Israel (and giving them full independence by 2005), is an existential threat to the state of Israel, and no roadmap where tiny Israel gives up land can lead to any good outcome. Israel belongs to the Jews by a divine Deed, and nobody else. It says so in the Jewish-Christian Bible, and it says so in the Islamic Qu'ran. God promises to "Bless those who bless the Jews" both via His Word in Scripture, and by His Son's reassurance that Scripture is true...

President Bush is either naive or stupid to think that the Palestinians will follow any road map. They want all of Israel essentially because of their Islamic decree that once a territory is occupied by Muslims it cannot be returned. They have not followed any of the "rules of the road map" and don't intend to. Palestinian "puppet President" is being controlled by Arafat, which in no way a democratically elected official. Israel has taken all steps to comply. When Israel began erecting a security fence to protect themselves (and the Palestinians) the Palestinian propaganda machine began screaming bloody murder, claiming Israel's fence is against the peace process and is causing the Palestinians "unbearable" economic problems. Even though more free billions in aid have been given the Palestinians than any other people, the Palestinians have built no economic infrastructure and rely solely on Israel for economic survival. Where did all that aid go? Look to secret private bank accounts, weapons purchases, propaganda payments, and payments to families whose children blow them selves up for the promised evil orgy in the sky that is Islam. Has anyone told you yet that Libya is now chairing the United Nations Human Rights Commission?

The 4 October 2003 "Palestinian" suicide attack in Haifa ripped apart a popular seafront restaurant where Jews and Arabs had worked together and lived together for decades.

The Maxim restaurant, run jointly by a Christian Arab and a Jewish family, was packed with families having lunch.

Suddenly we heard a tremendous explosion. We saw smoke pour out of the restaurant," said a passing motorist, Navron Hai.

"Families were dead around the tables, there were children without limbs."

Can we forget the Palestinians "dancing in the streets" on 911?

Picture: Reuters A Palestinian fires his rifle as children dance around him at a refugee camp near Sidon in southern Lebanon.

Jubilant Palestinians dancing and chanting in the streets…Palestinian Authority policemen firing their assault rifles in the air…Children being tossed candy in a gala celebration. These are the brazen images the American people saw on their screens as they sat stunned in the aftermath of the barbaric attacks on the United States on September 11. But this footage of Palestinian Arabs reveling in the massacre of thousands of Americans and the destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was only briefly aired.

The many anti-American rallies held in Ramallah, Jericho, Gaza, and other places in the territories were not broadcast. Not newsworthy? The Palestinian Authority decided it wouldn't be the best public-relations move and suppressed further coverage.

Israel declares day of mourning for US attacks
By Herb Keinon


Esther Wachsman, whose son was slain by Hamas in 1994, holds a flag and candle at a solidarity rally at the US Consulate in Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM (September 12) - The fight against terror is an "international struggle of the free world against the forces of darkness, who seek to destroy our liberty and way of life," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said after midnight last night, in a brief announcement during which he declared today a day of national mourning.

"On behalf of the people of Israel, I wish to send our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the American people, President Bush, and the entire US government following the terror attacks against the US and our common values," Sharon said.

"At this most difficult hour," he said, "all Israelis stand as one with the American people. Our hearts are with you, and we are ready to provide any assistance at any time."

Flags at all government offices will be flown at half staff, and the programs on state-owned radio and television will be compatible with the nature of the day.

In addition, the security cabinet last night decided on a number of security precautions, including:

* the closing of ground passages to Israel;

* the closing of air passages to Israel, except on airlines that have Israeli security;

* a tightening of the blockades around Palestinian cities;

* the passage of messages, through diplomatic channels, to the Palestinian Authority to end the terror.

Magen David Adom has asked that Israelis with Type O blood donate today to MDA stations in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Hashomer. The blood will be flown to the United States.
