Today's Quotes
PALESTINIAN BIRTH RATE TOO HIGH
"Gaza's high birth rate has made the political problem more
intractable...breeding suicide bombers."
Walter Laqueur, Center for Strategic and International Studies,
Washington, D.C., writing in "This Isn't the Time for Peace," Wall
Street Journal, March 27, 2002.
NO RIGHT OF RETURN FOR NON-JEWS
"Palestinians have been indoctrinated by their leaders for decades that
there will be no settlement without a 'right of return' to Israel. But
there can be no return to houses and villages that no longer exist, to a
country that is overpopulated anyway."
Walter Laqueur, Center for Strategic and International Studies,
Washington, D.C., writing in "This Isn't the Time for Peace," Wall
Street Journal, March 27, 2002.
(Editor's note: But there is always room for tens of thousands of Jews
from Russia and Brooklyn).
THE ASSASSIN SPEAKS:
"...Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper published Mr. Sharon's regrets
over a pledge he made to President Bush not to 'physically harm' Mr.
Arafat. 'It was a mistake,' the paper quoted him as saying. 'I should
have told them, I can't keep that commitment."
Wall Street Journal, March 27, 2002, p. A13

SHARON'S INTERESTS ABOVE AMERICA'S INTERESTS
by Ahmed Amr

March 27, 2002
Just a few days ago, I offered to eat my words, expecting they would not
show up on the menu. But, I just noticed that there is only one item on
today's menu; the words I wrote in my last article, titled "Enhancing
the Prospects of Beirut."
The words now look like year old stale bread. These are the words I
regret writing : "I have always believed that if America gets serious
about resolving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, it will get resolved.
If I am wrong in calling this major shift in American policy, I will be
the first to eat my words. In the meantime, the whole Middle east is
depending on a second chance in Beirut."
It all came down to whether Bush would put Sharon in his place. I
believe that place is the Hague and Americans will be the first to
rejoice when this particular Israeli war criminal gets the attention of
international law. It is my conviction that the only leverage against
Sharon is the promise of a good dose of justice for Qibya and Sabra and
Shatila. Until the day he shares a bunk with Milosovic, his list of
crimes against humanity will continue to increase, as will his barbaric
assaults to torment the Palestinians.
What happened to the Saudi peace initiative? For one thing, Congress
rallied to its paymasters and interceded with 'advice' to the president
to 'not pressure' their favorite thug, Ariel Sharon. Bush had the option
of taking on Sharon's half of the U.S. Senate or facing a mass migration
to Tel Aviv. Why the president would be concerned with these Senators
and Congressmen taking a hike to 'their country' is beyond my
comprehension. Take Hillary from Arkansas to New York to Tel Aviv and
she will still be Hillary, the first bigot. To further discourage our
hapless administration from doing the right thing, our dirty dozen media
monopolies weighed in with a little smear campaign against the Saudis.
That was enough for Bush to throw in the towel.
Today, the White House dismissed the Beirut conference as being so
unimportant as to not require attendance. So, if no one shows up, they
had an official Bush administration pass to be somewhere else. Just
because Sharon and his willing 'American' collaborators were intent on
diminishing the prospects of Beirut. The Washington Post went so far as
to threaten further escalation in the violence. The Donald Graham clique
apparently was not satisfied with the most recent Palestinian body count
in the refugee camps. And the New York Times again put the blame on
--who else?-- Arafat. NBC, which reported the Israeli army's mass murder
in Ramallah and the other refugee camps as "Israeli patrols" was
positively giddy that it had again triumphed in promoting the extremist
Likudnik agenda.
Judith Miller, who has toiled in Sulzberger's Yiddish rag for years as
an 'expert' on the Middle East, was on MSNBC again lumping the
Palestinian cause with 'Islamic terrorism' and suggesting that Sharon
had no other option but to disrupt the Saudi/American peace initiative.
Miller's lines sound oddly familiar, especially when she invokes the
wisdom of 'Bibi Netenyahu' who presides over the Likud party wing that
is positioned to the right of Ariel 'Baby Arik' Sharon. After all,
Sulzberger would not settle for a Yiddish supremacist hag who can't
stomach a full dose of militant Israeli repression. Bizarre and
frustrating as this may be, an extremist Likudnik cult has grown deep
roots at The New York Times, the daily ruse.
Beirut and the Palestinians, after suffering decades of insufferable
ethnically biased American policies; having witnessed the wholesale
destruction of a way of life for an entire people; having paid the price
of cheap American political whores in senatorial garb; having endured
Israeli repression, mayhem and mass murder; Beirut deserved serious
American attention.
Americans should take a real good look at every politician, every media
tycoon, every slime ball 'journalist,' who is aligning with Ariel
Sharon. Never trust these people. They are liars. They are complicit in
tormenting an innocent people. They hate liberty as much as they crave
power. They worship a foreign war criminal as a personal deity and they
appear to be organized in an orchestrated campaign to champion Israeli
repression.
For the Sulzberger clan, telling the truth about the Palestinians is
tantamount to confessing to three generations of journalistic lies about
Sharon's war criminal past and the true nature of the Israeli
occupation. Sure, Ha'aretz newspaper can probe the mask of Israeli
mythology. But the gray lady (NY Times) has to constantly demonstrate
that it can deliver the goods for Israel. Anyone familiar with the
history of the Sulzberger clan knows that they relish power struggles
with American presidents, if only to demonstrate their clout. So, let
the son of a Parisian whore who runs the joint on 43rd street, know that
his escapades in bed with Sharon will not go unrecorded in the history
books.
As things now stand, Mubarak will stay in Cairo to demonstrate his
solidarity with the Palestinians, as will Hussein of Jordan. Arafat will
not abandon his people in Ramallah for the temptations of Beirut. In the
span of a month, the American policy has gone from approving Sharon's
all-out assault against densely populated refugee camps, to cautiously
probing the Saudi peace initiative, to restraining Sharon, to warmly
embracing the prospects of Beirut, to pressuring for a return to peace
negotiations, to threatening worse mayhem down the road via the
semiofficial Washington Post, to dismissing the importance of attendance
at the Beirut conference, to who knows what next week.
So, if I am forced to eat my words, it is because I am once again
baffled by whatever the Bush administration is up to in the Middle East.
Whatever America's policy de jure is, it is not considered in the
'national interest' to clarify it for the people of the region or to the
humble citizens of these United States. It is a secret policy. If they
told you, they would have to kill you. If you don't know and you are
Palestinian, they might just kill you for sport. That is why I am
constantly forced to take my best guess. So, if you were a doubter, you
were right. I was wrong. Even after 911, the Yiddish supremacist media
barons and a servile corrupt congress will put Sharon's needs above any
consideration of American national interests. Sulzberger and his crowd
are determined to satisfy Israel's real estate fantasies no matter the
mounting cost in American, Egyptian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, Iraqi,
Iranian, Palestinian and Israeli casualties. It is a Yiddish thing you
wouldn't understand.
