In summary, the Israelis murdered a quadraplegic cleric with Apache Attack Helicopters in a dawn raid outside a mosque, and the USA is complicit in all of this because it vetoes all international efforts in the UN to stop this insanity, funds the madness, and supports it 100%.

Hamas pledges war after Yassin slaying;
http://au.news.yahoo.com/030914/2/lp0x.html
Now, he was a spiritualist, crippled since birth (a quadraplegic) and confined to a wheelchair. He was a cleric (roughly equivalent to a ‘priest’). The Israelis murdered him with missiles from Apache Attack Helicopters in a dawn raid outside a mosque (roughly equivalent to a “church”) in the Gaza.
Israel’s most cowardly act, perhaps?
Nuh. Not even close…its standard fare…
However, way to start a RELIGIOUS WAR!

Now the USA is complicit in all of this, in that;
(1) They Veto all international efforts in the UN to stop this insanity.
(2) They fund this madness.
(3) They support this 100%.

Why do I say this?
Where does Israel’s Apache Attack Helicopters come from?
The good old USA, of course!
http://www.amnestyusa.org/news/2000/israel10192000_2.html
Why do I say that? Because (a lesson for phatmonkey);

“Total Cost to U.S. Taxpayers

“4 US Military Aid to Israel Violates US Law
The US Arms Export Control Act (AECA) strictly forbids the government from giving military assistance to any country that violates internationally recognized human rights. The State Department's 2001 human rights report states: "Israeli security units often used excessive force against Palestinian demonstrators including live fire ... impeded the provision of medical assistance to Palestinian civilians by their strict enforcement of internal closures, which reportedly contributed to at least 32 deaths. Israeli security forces harassed and abused Palestinian pedestrians and drivers who were attempting to pass through the more than 130 Israeli- controlled checkpoints ..." Under the AECA, "the President is required to report to Congress promptly upon the receipt of information that a substantial violation of AECA may have occurred." The US government is fully aware of the Israeli army's human rights violations, as the above quote from the State Department shows. The US government has eroded its own credibility as an impartial mediator by continuing to arm Israel without restriction and allowing these weapons to be used against civilian populations in violation of US law.

5 US Military Aid to Israel threatens US Security and Global Stability
US funding of Israel's human rights abuses fuels resentment towards the US. While the rest of the world strongly condemns Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territories, our government provides the political, diplomatic and material means for the occupation to continue. Such actions by the US government provoke anti-US sentiment throughout the world, ultimately jeopardizing the safety of people living in the US. The US can build its own security only by gaining the trust and respect of the international community.”

This act by Israel is different to the Muslim extremists, in so far as, the STATES of Israel and the USA commit these acts. Small groups of radicals commit suicide bombings. Open your eyes people.

What does Yassin being crippled (and not since birth, by the way) have anything to do with his actions? I suggest you do some reading on Yassin's history and the history of the organization he led, Hamas. Yassin was far from being a Pope, he was not a spiritualist (do you even know what the word means?). He and his organization are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israeli citizens. Good luck trying to deny that.

Why can the US pursue (and eventually kill) Bin Laden? If Bin Laden were crippled, would the US stop its chase after him?

How is Bin Laden responsible for the events of 9/11? Did he kidnap the airplanes? Was he on one of them? If Bin Laden were in a wheelchair, would that make him less responsible?

Please refrain from name calling. When one results to personal insults it is clear one has no better arguments than that.

well even if he was fighting he was right.

it is his country.

if somebody forcefully gave away my land and inhabited their people here and supported them for another 50 years i would fight too. even if it was against america.

my country is small and was always under this or that occupation. the italians, the austrians... the same happened to us after italy exited 1stww. The americans and the others just GAVE them OUR lands in return.

We got them back, though.
We managed to get where we are now against seemingly impossible odds.

that's why chechnyans and palestinians are fighting an apparently loosing battle. but it was wrong what happened to them, more than wrong. Thus their cause is more rightful than any of bush's babbling about bible and the arxis of evil.

I hope justice will prevail and even more that the hypocrists will get their due. And that i live to see it.

May I refer you to the UN Partition Plan from 1947:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan
The United Nations gave the Jewish people land for their own country, Israel. Yes, today Israel occuipes more lands than that. However that is only because we were at war with the Arab nations near us, namely Egypt, Sirya, Lebanon and Jordan, in 1967 and 1973. In these wars Israel had won lands that it did not previously had, but that is the nature of war. In 1973 it were the Arab countries that declared war on Israel, and they ended up losing a lot of land. However Israel returned most of these lands, such as the Sinai peninsula which is about 50% of Israel's size as it is today.

Don't get me too wrong. I agree that people of Israel deserve their own country, but the way they acquired is called theft in any language in the world.

Also, the price for someone elses protection is being someone elses pawn.

And also because it was acquired in this way you have to now cope with a conflict that takes lives every day.

Perhaps it was a theft out of desperation, and perhaps all should be forgotten by now. But I just hope that you at least now STOP building them houses in their territory, or you want to steal some more while you still can??

Just don't say it was yours 2000 years ago, because in that case america can let them indians out of reservates and all white americans can go swimming back to europe.

The UN gave us both permission to have a country as well as the lands on which to form it. How is that theft?

uhm...someone else was living there already?:-)

Ok. you got your country, the palestinians are mad and they keep attacking you and you have to defend. i understand that.

build another berlin wall, i understand that.
but as I see it on the media, your prime minister sharon "stone(d)" is taking like...expansionist moves? that's not like "ok, we're modest and grateful. we UNDERSTAND the palestinians. maybe if just defend and are patient they will understand us, too"

even the damn wall you won't place entirely on your own ground!

what can I think of it, what do you think of it?

New settlements are no longer lawfully built, and those that are built against the law are removed. Even settlements that were build back in the days when the government supported them, are now going to be removed. But it takes time, and more importantly manpower. And if we used all of our soldiers to remove some caravans (and that's all those "settlements" are) from the desert, who will be left to protect the citizens? Do you know how many terrorist acts the Israeli police and army prevent each and every day?!

Another SCAPEGOAT for Israeli Attrocities

Wake up phatmonkey!
You're blaming the Quad for teenagers attacking Israelis in shopping malls with knives?
For female suicide bombers explodign themselves on buses?

He threatened these people with a headbutt, I suppose.

Zionist propaganda?!? Accounts of the deaths and attacks against civilians by the organization this man founded, controlled, and instigated for years, is propaganda?! Wow, WE'VE REALLY gone to the fringe on this one. Must I grab my tinfoil hat to continue?

So, because the guy is in a wheelchair now, you just forget what he created, supported, and directed?! Perhaps you are one of those people that "felt compassion" for Saddam when he was oh so embarassed by having his teeth cleaned on television [zz)]

Hey, everyone, take a good close look at this post...and then calm down.

While I personally would have been a little more specific in condemming the method of the attack, there's nothing in this post that deserves an angry response. Yes, this guy was a scumbag, no Israel shouldn't have fired missles into a populated area to get him. What else is there to say, really?

Position Vacant (Pope) - Qualifications Needed

I beg to differ. A couple of Palestinians I know, have become quite irate…

Chen posted;
“Yassin was far from being a Pope, he was not a spiritualist (do you even know what the word means?).”

I guess, in order to qualify to be a “Pope”, one must order Holy Crusades (to waste all Arab heathens), collaborate with the Nazis, withhold the Third Secret of Fatima etc.

LOL so you're actually there and know him personally for it to be true. Oh wait, the links says he's a moderate and not a terrorist.

That's a bunch of malarkey you have no way of proving for a FACT that he never ordered a single terrorist attack.

And as for Israel, and Palestine. I'm not taking any sides because BOTH sides are not committed to peace in that region.

Well, Cheers! One down, many more to go.
Next on the list...Rantisi! Tomorrow would not be too soon and yesterday it was already way past due.
These monsters aren't only responsible for Israeli deaths, they are responsible for the deaths of every young person they have brainwashed into sacrificing themselves for on suicide missions slaughtering young children and the elderly for religious 'martyrdom' They are responsible for the death of every young palestinian child that has been used as a propaganda tool and as a shield for hamas militants. They are the leaders who have lead their people to ruin who will never settle for anything other then pushing the jews right into the sea..and then they will set their sites on the rest of the 'infidels'.
Funny, russia just killed a major chechen leader not too long ago, where the heck was yours and the rest of the worlds outrage then. Give me a break.

So where was I wrong that he founded hamas? Do you always argue against your rivals by proving them right? Is this some sort of tactic I do not understand?

this is the poor old man in the wheel chair, just last september:

In September, Yassin, who used a wheelchair, was lightly wounded in an Israeli missile strike in Gaza City. At the time he vowed that "jihad will continue."

Thousands of Palestinian Hamas supporters marched through the streets in support of Yassin after the strike last year.

History

Israelites, a Semitic people, apparently of nomadic origin, whose emergence in the Levant is identified with a shift of settlement at the start if the Iron Age (c. 1200 bc), when a new pattern of small villages dispersed in upland regions replaced the urban life of the Bronze Age. Explanations for this process range from the nomadic invasion thesis (derived from Biblical accounts in Exodus) to settlement of indigenous populations of nomads and brigands, to social revolution by the urban lower classes at the end of the Bronze Age. The Israelites' conquest of areas occupied by the Canaanites brought them into an ultimately successful conflict with the Philistines. The major building works carried out under the united kingdom belong to the reign of Solomon. The northern kingdom of Israel (see Samaria) was conquered by the Assyrians in the late 8th century BC, while the southern kingdom of Judah was reduced by the Babylonians in the early 6th century BC. See also Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, a city in the Judaean hills, Israel, which has been occupied for thousands of years and which has been excavated virtually continuously since the 1860s. Comparatively little remains of ancient Jerusalem, chiefly because of the repeated destructions suffered by the city (e.g. that of Titus in 70 AD) and later Byzantine and Islamic overbuilding. The first major construction at Jerusalem seems to have been the stone fortifications of the late Bronze Age. Jerusalem was captured by the Israelites under Davin in c.996 BC and extended to the north by Solomon, who built a temple and palace in an area later overbuilt by the Herodian temple platform, and by Hezekiah, whose water tunnel is still visible. Jerusalem was patronised by the Byzantine emperors beause of its Christian associations and by Islamic caliphs as a holy city. Most of the walls to be seen at Jerusalem are the work of Suleiman the Magnificent (1538-41 AD) on top of Herodian and Roman foundations, while the octagonal 'Dome of the Rock' (685-692 AD) is the most striking of the Islamic buildings in Jerusalem.

Canaanites, an ethnic group identified with the sophisticated urban civilisation of the Levant during the Bronze Age (see Hazor, Jericho, Lachish, Beit Mersim). The Canaanites were dislodged from much of their territory by the Israelites and Philistines, but much of their culture persisted among the Phoenicians.

Phoenicians, a Semitic people, the cultural heirs of the Canaanites, who flourished as traders from their ports of Byblos, Sidon, and Tyre during the 1st millennium BC. They are credited with the founding of Carthage and the invention of the alphabet.

Philistines, one of the Sea Peoples whose occupation of southern Palestine marks the beginning of the Iron Age in that region. The five chief cities of the Philistines (the 'Pentapolis') were Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gaza, Gath, and Ekron.

Even if all of this is true, then that STILL doesn't justify his murder in this way. He should have been arrested, tried in an oper court (with all the rules and so on) and he should only have been punished AFTER he had been found guily be an impartial judge (or jury, I have no idea how the Israeli law-system works). The Israeli's even did this for some of the WW2 Nazi's that they abducted and brought back to Israel: only after a trial were they sentenced (and excecuted).

The day that the gouvernment can take the law fully into their own hands is the day that the people lose the law...


Note: I am in no way condowning attacks on others, Israeli or Palastinians alike.

This is a wonderful method, when it is possible. Of course in reality serving the warrant would have meant going into gaza city with troops and guns blazing and then of course the unfortunate deaths of possibly hundreds of Arabs. That would leave them right where they are now, being blasted with international hypocritical anti-semitical outrage, expecting the joooos to accept what no other country in their right mind would accept and doing nothing at all about it lest it offend the sensibilities of the hypocrit arabs and euuuuropians.

Interesting... the Palastinians seem to have a legitimate claim against Sharon for possible genoside (I think from somewhere in the beginning of the 1980's). So, according to you they should just buy some gunships and blast him - and maybe a few of his children and some bystanders too - when he leaves a Jewish house of worship?

I'm assuming you're referring to shabra and shatila. Sharon's role was far less direct then Yassin's has been, and in fact little attention is paid to the responsibility of the Phalange and Syria in Shabra and Shatila. Sharon's guilt in this is on par with the U.N. when they were given the duty of protecting refugess on numerous occasions yet allowed them, either through ignorance or neglect, to be slaughtered. When you try the U.N. for Genocide then maybe you should put Sharon on trial with them. But..this is probably a better debate for another thread, if you'd like.

So, according to you they should just buy some gunships and blast him - and maybe a few of his children and some bystanders too - when he leaves a Jewish house of worship?
When Israel stops putting on trial and imprisoning those people who are their responsibility who murder, or attempt to blow up innocent arabs then you might have a parallel example.

We've been down this road on this forum many times, I don't buy your moral equivelency crapola.

This is the reality:

1. The PNA is treaty bound to extradite these guys to Israel.
2. The PNA not only refuses to extradite, it arms and supports them at every level.
3. They have and will continue to bomb Jews until they are stopped.
4. To go in and arrest isn't just sending 2 cops around to serve a warrant. As I said, it would require a full scale invasion and the deaths of hundreds, to serve a warrant on one murderous sharmuta.
5. So, the GOI kills them instead.

If you don't like step 5, that's fine. Suggest an alternative because they've been at stage 4 for years, despite trying numerous approached and under numerous political leaders and yet they keep having to bury the bits and pieces of their children and elderly.



Evil begets evil...
That's a load of crap. Evil has no problem coming in amongst innocence and slaughtering it.

The bottom line is, until you can come up with an alternative you're part of the problem.

Of course by the looks of it we might have a very good oppurtunity to witness other alternatives as we see how other countries deal with this in the coming year. I think by comparision the Israeli's will look good, not that it will stop the barrage of criticism. The world just wouldn't be the same if they weren't hyper critical of the Joooooos while they themselves have done and are using similar and even more extreme measures.

I choose to stop responding in this thread to prevent too emotional reactions / flamewars / ... (this certainly applies to me as well!).
 

What is the "Assassination of The Arab 'Pope'"?

The "Assassination of The Arab 'Pope'" refers to the murder of Pope Shenouda III, the Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria, Egypt, in 1971. He was assassinated by a member of a militant group called the Black September.

Who was responsible for the assassination?

The assassination was carried out by a member of the Black September, a Palestinian militant group. The group claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that it was in retaliation for the Pope's support of the Egyptian government's crackdown on Palestinian guerrillas.

What were the motives behind the assassination?

The Black September claimed that the assassination was in retaliation for the Pope's support of the Egyptian government's crackdown on Palestinian guerrillas. They also saw the Pope as a symbol of the Christian community's support for the government, which they viewed as oppressive towards Palestinians.

How did the assassination impact the Coptic Christian community?

The assassination of the Pope was a significant blow to the Coptic Christian community, as he was a beloved and respected leader. It caused fear and anger among the community, and many saw it as an attack on their religion and way of life.

Has there been any justice for the assassination?

The assassin, Khalid Islambouli, was sentenced to death and executed for the murder of Pope Shenouda III. However, the Black September group was never officially held accountable for the attack, and some believe that there may have been other individuals involved in the planning and execution of the assassination.
