I think she thinks the pictures are real. Better straighten her out Billy.
It's hard to keep track of all their bullshit and keep it compatible.
4,000 happy Palestinians is a small minority. It's smaller than the US dead.
But let's play real. The 4,000 are just the ones WHO GOT ON CAMERA. No one
has an idea of how many were dancing where there were no cameras.
In a poll taken in 2000, over 70% of Palestinians were FOR suicide operations
against the US. This was even before the intifada I believe.

That's fucking beautiful man.

Unless they are active sympathizers or part of the operation, Pal Americans,
and American Arabs are US citizens and MUST be honored as such and protected
by the law. Including the hate crime laws. You don't have to like then or any
other minority, but you can't harm them.

And it already has. Now smug liberals and lefties in this country understand
what it means to be civilian targets of true believer terrorists. And when
these guys do it again, it will be harder to prevent racist reprisals. At
some point, even the dumbest Jihadist will get the message that these terror
tactics are not getting them what they want and is making ALL their lives worse.

Yup. Terrorism is rough business.

OH FUCKING PUHLEASE! Have you seen the pictures of the guys who hijacked the
planes??????? They weren't a glorious multicultural gaggle of killers. Thay
all looked like a certain " ethnic group " who just has a long history of
plane hijackings and murder. How dare anybody suspect them more than say
Eskimos?
