Fact 92: "The ""Islamic Jihad"" is a terrorist organization that originated among militant Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the 1970s. It is committed to the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state and the destruction of Israel through holy war. Between October 2000 and February 2002 it carried dozens of attacks against unarmed Israeli civilians."

The article was translated by Stefan Sharkansky (Shark Blog) and it contains a lot of information on how European money is used to kill unarmed Israeli civilians, including kids. Among other things it covers: 1) How European money is used to print Palestinian schoolbooks that glorify genocide bombers and deny the existence of the State of Israel. Barely after the new books appeared, there came a hailstorm of criticism from western experts. [...] There are calls for religious tolerance, but only between Muslims and Christians. Jews appear only in an historical context. Their connection to the Holy Land is stuck in antiquity. The Jewish resettlement of Palestine is called "infiltration". There is no direct appeal to terrorism, but certainly "Palestine's Martyrs" are glorified, including "The Engineer Ayash", who dispatched suicide bombers in the 1990s and killed dozens of Israelis. The State of Israel does not exist. Its name appears on no map, terms such as "green line", "the interior of the country" or the "1948 land" are used repeatedly. Cities founded by Israel, such as Tel-Aviv, are never mentioned. The name of the State of Palestine and the emblem of Arafat's Palestinian Authority are everywhere, such as on the book covers. This state would seem to stretch from Jordan to the Mediterranean. 2) How European money is used by Arafat to fund his Al-Aksa brigades (responsible for dozens of genocide bombings, see the Palestine page). Arafat makes no distinction between the Palestinian Authority and his Fatah group, an umbrella group of terrorist organizations (that includes the Al-Aksa brigades). How Arafat paid the friendly price of 10 million dollars for the Karine-A cargo is one of the mysteries of this affair. Whoever finds it reassuring should do the math. At the time of the weapons deal, Europe paid at least 10% of Yassir Arafat's day-to-day budget and 50% of all aid payments. Next to the Europeans, Arafat had only two other revenue sources -- substantial aid from the Arab states, and insignificant tax receipts. How great are the odds that Arafat has not soiled Europe's reputation? 3) How in 2/2001 Arafat and his thugs from the PA made a clear decision to kill unarmed Israeli civilians to force Israel to respond. Their logic was that once Israel responded, an international force, including Europeans, would impose a solution and create a Palestinian state. Documents found by Israel prove this without a doubt. For the original Die Zeit article in German, click here. I copy Stefan's translation below.
The Times Online (www.timesonline.co.uk) reports that Mahmoud Zahar, a Palestinian leader, has declared his support for the murder of Jewish children anywhere in the World:
Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are terrorist organizations with a goal of destroying the State of Israel and murdering Israeli women and children (click here for a chronology of Palestinian Homicide bombings). That said, calling for the murder of Jewish children anywhere in the World is a low, even for a brainwashed religious moron. The war against Islamic fanatics continues. I copy the full article below.
Israeli intelligence officials assert that 98 percent of the known members of the Hamas military wing have been arrested or killed over the past five months, leaving the terrorist organization in a state of disarray, Time magazine reported Monday. A few days ago it was reported that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a group that deliberately murdered hundreds of women and children, was also destroyed (click here for the article). So after the PFLP and the Hamas, we will now take care of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Arafat's terrorist groups such as the Al-Aksa brigades (see the Palestine page for details). Once these we arrest or eliminate these murderers, the violence will drop and we might have a chance for peace. I copy the full article below.
The Palestinian Arab/Muslim suicide bomber deliberately chose as his bloodshedding target a crowd of Jewish children sitting at the pizzeria in the town of Karnei Shomron. Three children died and over 30 were wounded in the barbaric attack.
Rachel Thaler, 16, murdered by a Palestinian Terrorist Rachel Theler had gone on Saturday night to the local Yuvalim Mall in Karnei Shomron with his brother, Lior. Since its opening six months ago, the mall has become a popular meeting place for local youth. Rachel, who suffered a critical head injury in the bombing, never regained consciousness. She died 12 days later. Her family donated her organs for transplant. The condition of Rachel's brother, Lior, 14, who was also seriously injured, has improved greatly. May God bless her memory. I copy her full story below.
Maccabi Tel-Aviv plays in the European league - it was the Euroleague's champion in 2001 and reached the semi-finals this year - Maccabi is considered one of the best teams in Europe.
Tamir Goodman, the 'Jewish Jordan' "I've always wanted to play in Israel and be in my country," Goodman said Monday." While looking for more info on Tamir Goodman, I stumbled upon the site of Etan G., the "Jewish Rapper". Etan wrote a song about Tamir Goodman, called "The kid with the lid", click here to check it out.

In the fifth suicide bombing against Israelis in two days, a suicide bomber blew up at the main entrance to the Shaarei Amakim mall in Afula at about 5:15 p.m. Monday evening, killing three Israelis and wounding 50. While the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Arafat's Al-Aksa brigades continue their murderous campaign of homicide bombings targetting Israeli women and children, the United Nations were discussing the "roadmap for peace". It is clear there is no wish for peace on the Palestinian side. There is only hatred, racism, and the execution of homicide bombings in the name of Islam. The "moderate" Palestinians do nothing to stop their racist and fanatic groups from continuing their killing, so the Israeli army has to step in. A Palestinian State and peace are very far away.
Israeli woman killed in Samaria drive-by shooting I just heard on Israeli radio that the victim is Esther Galia, 48, mother of 7 from Kokhav Ya`akov. Since this is not a homicide/suicide bombing, don't expect your local news to tell you much about the faith of Mrs. Galia.
Apparently this theory is widely accepted in the Arab and Muslim world and is backed by Foreign Ministers and Ambassadors. The Arab world cannot accept the fact that among their midst we find monsters capable of organizing and executing the 9/11 attrocities and the homicide bombing attacks against civilians, including babies and kids. Since September 11, the Arab media have claimed that Jews perpetrated the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Promoting this new myth are high-ranking public officials and columnists in the government and non-government press in Arab countries. I copy the full article below.
Dilbert.com has published the results of the "2002 Weasel awards". A weasel is defined as anyone who is trying to get away with something. 19,000 people voted in the poll, and the winning weasels are shown below: Weaseliest Religion: Islam with 32% Those 19,000 people are right on target, I'm impressed by the collective Insightfulness. The link to the poll was found at andrewsullivan.com. I copy the full results below.
At least five Israelis were killed and more than 30 wounded, seven seriously, when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up outside a popular felafel stand in Hadera's market district on Wednesday afternoon. The mass murdering bastards from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas call for the destruction of Israel and the murder of her 6 million citizens. For a list of Palestinian homicide bombings since October 2000, click here. For an article that shows how many in Palestinian society admire these mass murderers, click here. The war on Palestinian terror and Islamic Supremacists continues. I copy the full article below.
The blast occurred at about 1 p.m. local time on bus No. 4 at the corner of Allenby and Montefiore Streets, near The Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv. The force of the blast blew the roof off the bus, blew out most of its windows and blackened the interior. Most of the terrorists from the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Arafat's Al-Aksa brigades have left the Palestinian towns and moved into the country side. Their deadly weapons, including bombs and explosives were left behind in the cities. A couple of days ago, the IDF (Israel's army) lifted the curfew on Jenin, allowing the Palestinian murderers to retrieve their suicide bomb belts: the results are the latest killings of Israeli unarmed women and children (I got this analysis from Israeli TV Channel 1). I copy the full article below.
[...] Now is the time, and Iraq is the place, in which the enemies of the civilized world are testing the will of the civilized world. We must not waiver. Thank you Mr. President for mentioning that the Muslim terrorists that murdered Daniel Pearl did it only because he was Jewish and because of their racist, violent and fascist view of the World. And thank you for continuing the fight for freedom and against Islamic terrorism. I copy the full transcript below.
HIZBULLAH'S ADVICE The Hizbullah is an Arab Muslim terrorist organization based in Lebanon and financed by Iran. It has proudly taken responsibility for the deliberate murder of dozens of women and children. France refuses to define Hizbullah as a terrorist organization (click here for more details). Hizbullah follows in the racist ways of Egyptian television which, a few months ago, decided to broadcast a series based on the "Protocols of Zion". For more information on this Egyptian racist show, click here. For more information on the racist document "The Protocols of Zion", click here.
