rabbitrunning Middle East Problems (98* d) RE: Middle East Problems 16 Oct 00


Sorry, McGrath. The first place I heard "We will drive the Jews into the sea" this round wasn't from an anonymous poster, it was from a Palestinian woman shouting outside of the Israeli embassy on the evening news. She was also saying that mosques were being burnt and that no Palestinian had used anything more powerful than rocks.

I know a synagogue was destroyed, but while I haven't followed the news or internet carefully enough to deny the report of mosques, I should think that that sort of report would have been prominent in our newspapers. If you do know of a link to pictures of a mosque being damaged by the Israeli reaction please point me to it and I'll believe her. But I know that the Palestinians were shooting with more than slingshots (which can kill by the way) because I saw French film footage of them doing so. Two days before she was shouting.

Lies and rhetoric don't help. (Neither does destroying the police headquarters because of a mob -- even if you do give them three hours warning so no one gets killed.)

Ah, half the time I think this was all cooked up between Arafat and Sharon, trying to keep their political power bases.
