“The Jews poisoned him [Arafat] and I hate them very much.
Allah will repay them what they deserve.”
[Video of Palestinian girl shown at Arafat memorial,
PATV (Fatah), Nov. 10, 2009]

A televised memorial ceremony for Yasser Arafat included a video clip of Palestinian children delivering messages in honor of Arafat. It is noteworthy that even though this clip was prerecorded and edited, the organizers of the PA’s official ceremony chose to include hate speech and libels that demonized Jews and glorified violence and Martyrdom.

Several of the chosen messages featured children repeating the ongoing Palestinian Authority libel that Arafat was poisoned by Jews. None of the children spoke about peace; in fact, the opposite was the case. One boy praised Arafat because he was a “fighter” who “did things through [violent] struggle,” and who “did not make peace.” The Martyrdom (Shahada) ideal was also selected as a message for the ceremony, with one boy quoting Arafat: “They want me dead, they want me prisoner but I say: Martyr, Martyr, Martyr!”

This children’s section in the special memorial indicates the PA’s success in transmitting to the next generation of Palestinian children hate libels that demonize Jews. Including these hate messages in the ceremony also shows that the PA approves of, and wants to publicize, the values of hatred, violence and Martyrdom that the children have adopted.

The following is the transcript of excerpts of the children’s messages:

Ceremony host: “Blessings to Yasser Arafat, and here are messages from the children of Palestine.”
Boy: “I was very, very sad when Arafat died as a Shahid (Martyr), because he was a good man and he was a fighter. He did things through struggle, he participated in the struggle and did not make peace and so on. He wanted to fight.”
Boy 2: “Yasser Arafat was a very, very important president. He stood up to all the enemies and was not afraid of anyone. And anyone who approached – he managed to stop him. All the Jews and the Israelis and the people who are against us, were afraid of him. When he died, he died of poisoning.”
Girl wearing pendant in the shape of Israel: “I say that he died from poisoning by the Jews. That’s what I say.”
Boy 3: “Arafat used to say: “They want me dead, they want me prisoner, but I say to them: Martyr! Martyr! Martyr!”
Girl 2: “He [Arafat] was our former president. He was under siege in Ramallah, and when he was under siege we were very upset. The Jews poisoned him and I hate them very much. Allah will repay them what they deserve.”
Boy 4: “He [Arafat] died from poisoning by the Jews. Well, I don’t know what he died from, but I know it was by the Jews.”
Boy 5: “They destroyed his whole house and he was left in one room and in the end the Jews poisoned him and blamed someone else.”

The official memorial ceremony for Yasser Arafat was held at the Ramallah Cultural Palace on Nov. 10, 2009, the fifth anniversary of his death, and broadcast live on PATV. Speakers included Salaam Fayyad (PA Prime Minister) and Nasser Al-Qidwa (Chairman of Board of Directors, Institute for Commemoration of Arafat, and former PA Foreign Minister).
Several senior PA, Fatah and PLO personnel attended, including Al-Tayeb Abd-Al-Rahim (Secretary General of the PA Presidency), Tayseer Al-Tamimi (PA Chief Justice of religious court and Chairman of Supreme Council of Islamic Law), and Fatah Central Committee members Muhammad Dahlan, Sultan Abu-Einin and Nabil Shaath.

What do you do when Congress breaks the law?  An explosive and stunning act of betrayal by the Obama Administration, from an email by the owner of BokerTov:

I would wager that few among you know - I certainly didn’t – that Congress appropriated almost a billion dollars to the Palestinians last week.  And what’s worse is that they specified about a third of it to go to Gaza (Gaza = HAMAS).

I thought it was illegal to fund terrorists.

These expenditures were in that Supplemental Appropriations bill where Congress didn’t give Obama the money he wanted for closing Gitmo since he didn’t have a specific plan (big news for a day or two). So I guess they did read this bill, some of it anyway.

It was passed in the House May 14, and the Senate passed it a week later… a week ago today,  May 21 (my fellow West Virginians will note that Senators Byrd and Rockefeller didn’t vote).

So when you see Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) coming to the White House today, just know that he’s picking up a big fat check.  Know also that he is a terrorist, Arafat’s right-hand man for decades and the financier of the Munich massacre (when Palestinians murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympics in 1972).  He’s also a Holocaust denier and his term in office at the so-called “Palestinian Authority” ran out in January.  So he has no real position and leads a country that doesn’t even exist.  But now I’m nit-picking. What’s a billion dollars, one way or the other?

I just found out about this yesterday when I read it at a blog called creeping sharia:

Obama’s Supplemental Bill Passes, Gives Billions to Enemies?

It’s also explained by the USAID here, and in a summary by the Democrat chair of the House Appropriations Committee here: http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/PressSummary05-07-09.pdf (Note: his press release came out the same day the House voted on and passed it).

What do you do when Congress breaks the law and sends money to Jew-free Gaza, which is HAMAS, which is full-blown terrorism.  What will we do when, Gd forbid, HAMAS uses our tax dollars to kill Israelis?

Like I said, I am beside myself. The best I can do is to make sure that later on, we can’t say we didn’t know.

The UN is an Islamist cesspool.  Get the UN out of the US.  Via FoxNews:

The UN agency that administers a school in Gaza – where Hamas operatives firing mortars at Israelis led to the deaths of civilians by Israeli return fire last week – has admitted to employing terrorists to work at its Palestinian schools in the past, has no system in place to keep members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad off its payroll, and provides textbooks to children that contain hate speech and other incendiary information.

There is evidence that students educated in UNRWA schools are much more likely to become homicide bombers, said Jonathan Halevi, a former Israel Defense Forces intelligence officer who specializes in Palestinian terrorist organizations. Halevi has spent several years building an extensive database for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs of terrorist attacks by Hamas and other Islamic extremist groups. Halevi estimated that over 60% of homicide bombers were educated in UNRWA schools.

When you got a successful gimmick based on a “stolen-land” mythology that can sucker in millions of sheeple, you milk it for every penny you can.  And that’s exactly what the manufactured entity, known as “Palestine”, has done.  Via AFI:

The international community has given $1.7 billion in aid to the Palestinian Authority over the last year, the French Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

The amount was $600 million more than was promised at a major donor conference held last December in Paris, spokesman Frederic Desagneaux said.
