Palestinians urge Saddam to attack Israel Thousands of Palestinians have marched to protest about the war in Iraq and urged Saddam Hussein to strike Israel with chemical weapons. In the West Bank towns of Tulkarem and Tubas, nearly 4,000 Palestinians marched through the streets, holding posters of Saddam and waving Iraqi flags. They stomped over Israeli and US flags placed on the ground. "Strike, strike Tel Aviv with chemicals," the crowds chanted in both towns. "Bush, the little one, you are a coward. The land of Iraq is not for you."...more [Ananova] The level of stupidity among the Palestinians on the street is amazing. These are the people who cheered the events of 9/11, and the same people who screwed their own relations with Arab states by supporting Saddam in the first Gulf War. They may say that Jews have a persecution complex, but Palestinians are unique in their on-going efforts to be persecuted. So let's say that Saddam did manage to do such a thing, and it actually managed to kill a bunch of people. First of all, with the accuracy of his missiles, Saddam is just as likely to hit Gaza, as he is to hit Tel Aviv. If he did chemical weapons, the Europeans would would drop their opposition to the war in a heartbeat (France has already said so). It is possible that Israel would respond by dropping a nuke on Baghdad. The next thing they would do is solve their Palestinian problem by simply driving them all out of Israel, and the occupied territories. If the surrounding Arab states attacked, they would lose the war, just like they have every war since the birth of Israel. I support the creation of a Palestinian state, but not one prone to mindless acts of stupidity. I can not support one that expends so much energy killing woman and children, and calls the murderers "Martyrs". This kind of stupidity does nothing to help their cause. The only hope they have is to convince Israel, and the USA that they really do want peaceful coexistence. Until that happens, they will continue to suffer from their own self inflicted wounds...mj 12:40:02 PM
