Sharon finally sits down with Arafat at the beginning of negotiations regarding the resolution of the conflict. The
Prime Minister requests that he be allowed to begin with a story. Arafat replies, "Of course."
The Prime Minister begins his story: "Years before the Israelites came to the Promised Land and settled here, Moses led them for
40 years through the desert. The Israelites began complaining that they were thirsty and, lo and behold, a miracle occurred and a
stream appeared before them. They drank their fill and then decided to take advantage of the stream to do some bathing--including
Moses. When Moses came out of the water, he found that all his clothing was missing.
"Who took my clothes?" Moses asked those around him.
"It was the Palestinians," replied the Israelites--"
"Wait a minute," objected Arafat immediately, "there were no Palestinians during the time of Moses!"
"All right," replies the Prime Minister, "Now that we've got that point settled, let's begin our negotiations."

The fact is is that from the very beginning of the American nation Long befroe we had a constitution, the United States was paying the bey of algiers the Pasha of tripoli and several other murdering theiving slime bags all waving the koran around, we paid these scum tribute not to prey on Am,erican vessels, they broke the treaties during the wear of 1812, It was not until the, navy and marines went ther
in 1818 that we no longer laid supine under their iron heel. I eant them to pay the USA back with interest in oil starting today !
they then moved their terror to the South pacific where they again waving the koran would climb over the side of ships and murder the crew or sell the captives to slavery, they did this until our navy went there and threatened they waited a few years and we had to go back again. then they led violent insurection against the marines stationed in the phillapines and in ww1 sided with the enemyin ww2 sided with the enemy in the cold war sided with the enemy. Bush is an as hole we dont have any arab friends they have waged war against the USA unrelenting from the day we began right up until the time they drove a truck into our marines in Lebanon and then libya with the terror saddam with kuwait and now bravely holding the koran slitting stewardesses throats only a simpleton like the pack running this asylum would think for one minute that these people were meant to share in the american experience this is a big lie
the original constitution says all non whites are 3/5th of a human being and at that a concession to the southern states. It did not does not say we have to make citizens of them. Corporate pencil necks like mr hanging chad find it convienet to bring scab labor here just like their ancestors abused the chinese when they were to cheap to pay a white mans wage at the time thats why Jesse James was a hero, They need to take their unscrupu;lus as ses home
and return to our nation that which they stole from us when ywe were to weak to stop them. Now then Israel is a parasite and we should drop her like a hot potato ((e) in case dan quail can read)

This is a report of the suicide bombing of the marines in Lebanon that Auroranorth mentioned in his post above.
beirut embassy bombing (april 18, 1983):
Sixty-three people, including the CIA's Middle East director, were killed, and 120 were injured in a 400-pound suicide truck-bomb attack on the U.S. embassy in beirut, lebanon. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
Overview of embassy bombing
* Carried out by a terrorist driving a van, reportedly stolen from the Embassy in June 1982.
* The van carried a 2,000-pound load of explosives, tearing through the front portion of the seven (7) story building.
* Most of the victims were at lunch and were killed by the collapsing building.
* Killed 63 occupants of the building, 17 of whom were Americans.
* One Marine was killed - Corporal Robert V. McMaugh, an embassy guard.
* One journalist was killed - Janet Lee Stevens.
* Several State Department officials were killed, including three USAID employees.
* The entire U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Middle East contingent were killed.
* Several Army trainers were killed.
Bombing of marine barracks, Beirut, October 23, 1983: Simultaneous suicide truck-bomb attacks were made on American and French compounds in Beirut, Lebanon. A 12,000-pound bomb destroyed the U.S. compound, killing 242 Americans, while 58 French troops were killed when a 400-pound device destroyed a French base. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
In the early morning hours of 23 October 1983, a truck loaded with explosives crashed through the security perimeter of the United States Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. In the explosion that followed, 241 U.S. Military personnel were killed and 80 seriously wounded.These young people, on a mission of peace in a land stricken by violence, were killed as they slept.
Twenty-one (21) of the young American victims of this cowardly act were returned to the United States and were buried near one another in Section 59 of Arlington National Cemetery. Near their gravesites is planted a Cedar of Lebanon tree which commemorates their sacrifice.
President Reagan related:
"The next night (following the beginning of the Grenada special operation) Nancy and I went to bed a little earlier than usual because we were tired after the early morning interruption the night before. At about 2:30 A.M., however, our phone rang again. Again it was Bud McFarlane: He said a suicide bomber had just driven a truckload of dynamite past our sentries and smashed into the Marine Barracks at the Beirut Airport. According to the first reports, at least one hundred Marines had been killed. There was to be no more sleep for us that night. I got on the phone with the Pentagon to make sure that everything possible was being done to protect the remaining Marines in Beirut, then met with George Shultz and Bud for several hours in the same living room where we'd spent much of the night before. As dawn approached, the news from Beirut became grimmer and grimmer. At 6:39 A.M., we went to the airport, boarded Air Force One, and flew to Washington for what was to become a full day of National Security Council meetings in the White House Situation Room. We discussed the Bombings and the preparations for the Grenada operation, which was scheduled to get started late that night with the infiltration of commando teams to gather intelligence paving the way for the landing the next day."
"On Monday, October 24, the news from Beirut became even more sickening, in all, 241 marines had died as they slept, resting from the duties of trying to keep peace in Lebanon. Two miles away, and two minutes after the blast at the airport, fifty-eight French soldiers, also members of the multinational force, had been killed by a second car bomb. The evidence indicated that both suicide vehicles were driven by radical Shiite fundamentalists suicidally bent on the pursuit of martyrdom. They were members of the same group responsible for the barbarous bombing of our embassy in Beirut the previous April, a group whose religious leaders promised instant entry to Paradise for killing an enemy of Iran's theocracy. Nancy and I were in a state of grief, made almost speechless by the magnitude of the loss" (from http://www.ronaldreagan.com/leb.html).

I saw Arafat being interveiwed on CNN. His eyes are crazy, wandering around. His facial expressions: those of a Madman. His words, mere lies for the gullible.

Arafat and Sharon...like two wild animals...reminds me of a couple of Rottweilers born with the extra 'Y' chromosone.

the fact is is that arafat was going thru with this peace process when fatso sharon came along and had no intention of living up to what had been agreed to so he went oto the temple with thugs to deliberatly provoke this, if the was a serbian or bosnian or croatian he would be on trial right now for war crimes. what he has done is give the right in france new life give the right in denamrk and belgium new life drawn world attenmtion away from the fact that china sent armed goons into japans embassy to drag oout kkoreans seeking refuge. China has slapped the people of Japan in the face. China has openly flaunted the age old universal protection of an embassy. China has come up with a convoluted explanation that she was doing this to fight terrorists, thus intentionally driving a spike in the the USA Japan alliance, This is extreme;ly serious and the di khead in the Whitehouse is blind to anything but making a buck off mexican immigrant labor.
