What do Plaxico and Israel have in common?

All Things Considered (NPR again) ran this story the other day. It's worth listening to since the small synopsis which accompanies the voice link only details the most outrageous of Hamas' claims and doesn't convey the full flavor of the madhouse that is the Hamas government.

They will have you believe that Israeli collaborators inside the Gaza strip are being paid by Israel to fire rockets into their towns and kill Israelis. This perfectly reflects arab thinking, showing the world that they would not quail at killing their own if it advanced their agenda of forced conversions and world domination. In practically the same breath, they cry about the death of their young murderers or future murderers. Crocodile tears! They couldn't care less about the loss of life of "innocent" (their characterization) people, only about the loss of good fighting power.

Have you ever noticed that any Israeli attack, no matter how minor, is claimed to have killed women and children and to have hit ambulances, schools and hospitals. These are mostly lies. Maybe now with this most preposterous of all arab claims, the world will see what mendacious and bloodthirsty savages they really are.

I'm not the first one to think this of them. During the riots in Palestine in 1929, the British High Commissioner of Palestine, who had been in England during the riots had this to say when he returned to the carnage:

I have returned from the United Kingdom to find to my distress the country in a state of disorder and a prey to unlawful violence. I have learned with horror of the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and blood-thirsty evil-doers, of savage murders perpetrated upon defenceless members of the Jewish population regardless of age or sex, accompanied as at Hebron, by acts of unspeakable savagery, of the burning of farms and houses in town and country and of the looting and destruction of property. These crimes have brought upon their authors the execration of all civilized peoples throughout the world.
These were the words of Sir John Herbert Chancellor who was later instrumental in supporting the Shaw commission's attempt to change the meaning of the Balfour declaration and to limit jewish immigration into mandated Palestine. All the more reason to believe him. So should we, execrate the foul seed of these original murderers.

What is truly galling is that the arabs, a small minority in New York City, have the effrontery to demonstrate in favor of a terrorist organization without fear of criminal penalties. I hope that Michael Bloomberg is as wise as an early predecessor who, while allowing a Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden, identified every attendee for use later when we were at war with the Germans.

We might need to know who these demonstrators are if we are again attacked as in 9/11.

good trick from that Other Mayor re the Nazis.
In Gaza they often place schools and hospitals next to the Hamas strongholds or offices so that all strikes against the targets affect the weak. So it may be true that hospitals, schools, retirement homes, and special-needs lunch programs are indeed often hit.

don't forget another predecessor who, recognized the mendacity of the PLO and was intent on demonstrating to the world that it was he, a decent, moral ethical MAN, not the United Nations or other third world and liberal sympathiser who bounced Yasir Arafat froman official event because he was Yasir Arafat
