Two children, ages four and five, two women and a young man were shot and killed in the attack. Among the victims was Tirza Damari, 42, from the community of Elichin. She was at Kibbutz Metzer visiting friends. I heard on Israeli radio that the Al-Aksa brigades, which directly reports to Yasser Arafat, has proudly claimed responsibility for the murders. For more information on how Arafat plays a double game of condemning "all attacks against civilians" while at the same time sending in his hordes of murderous bastards to kill women and children, see the Palestine page. For more information on kibbutz Metzer check out www.metzer.org.il (in Hebrew). I copy the full article below.

It is a classic in paranoid, racist literature. Taken by the gullible as the confidential minutes of a Jewish conclave convened in the last years of the nineteenth century, it has been heralded by anti-Semites as proof that Jews are plotting to take over the world. Since its contrivance around the turn of the century by the Russian Okhrana, or Czarist secret police, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" has taken root in bigoted, frightened minds around the world. The anti-Semitic Egyptian show based on the racist Russian document is now being shown in 22 different Arab countries, bringing the Islamofascists one step closer to modern Nazism. Note: Almost every time I post an article showing that certain Arabs/Muslims are anti-Semites, I inevitably receive an email from some moron telling me that Arabs cannot be anti-Semitic, since they are Semites themselves. Here's the definition of anti-Semitism: an·ti-Sem·ite (nt-smt, nt-) n. I copy below the full ADL report on the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
On May 7, a pro-Palestinian crowd swarmed a pro-Israel rally, and using physical violence, they shouted "Get out or we will kill you" and "Hitler did not finish the job". Administration officials on the scene did nothing. The San Francisco Chronicle described the above as follows: "Each side said the other was responsible for the hostility during the May 7 rallies. Pro-Israeli students said pro-Palestinian students yelled "die Jews" among other things, while pro-Palestinian students said they were called "camel jockeys" and other names. " Benjamin Epstein, a Jewish student who was present at the rally tells the real story: "And that's when they followed us. The San Francisco Chronicle blurs the lines and continues to minimize Palestinian violence, this time by placing at the same level a mob of pro-Palestinian thugs and Jewish students who were singing peace songs. The same SFSU pro-Palestinians have printed a vicious poster that shows a baby with the label "Palestinian children meat, slaughtered according to Jewish rites." (Click here to see the poster and my original article). Can we really expect anything less than an attempted pogrom by such anti-Semitic thugs?
Pro-Palestinians from SFSU printed this poster of hate The label reads 'Palestinian children meat, slaughtered according to Jewish rites.' I also find there's a similarity in the Chronicle's bad coverage of this incident with their biased coverage of Israel's war against terror: while the Islamic Jihad, the Hamas, and Arafat's terrorist groups continue to murder unarmed Israeli civilians, the San Francisco Chronicle reprints Arab propaganda from the Cairo Times, portraying Israel as the aggressor, and the Arab leaders as "men of Peace". See this article for more details. I can only comment on one or two facets of the travesty of the Chronicle's coverage or what happened at SFSU. For other dimensions of this incident and the alarming trends it represents, check out the SFSU Blog Burst Index at Winds of Change. I copy the Chronicle's full article as well as the real story from Glenn Reynolds from FoxNews.com. I strongly suggest you cancel your San Francisco Chronicle subscription, just call Dick Rogers, the readers' representative, at (415) 777-7870 or email him at readerrep@sfchronicle.com. I also copy the full account from Benjamin Epstein's point of view below.

I need to liberate my homeland http://pnews.org/MEP/phpnuke/ modules.php?name=News &file=article&sid=45 I need your help!!! The UN has been stating that all refugees of 1948 should be compensated for lands they had lost. My family was kicked out of Romania after the Russian Communists invaded it in 1947 (well, those that survived the Holocaust were kicked out). I think it's time to start a national liberation movement for Romanian Jews that were forced to leave everything behind: any Romanian settler is a legitimate target for our freedom fighters!
Here's something that captures my deep admiration and thanks to those who risk their lives on their jobs to protect ours: ![]() Last year I posted an entry with many pictures related to the 9/11 attacks by Islamic Fascists on New York and the United States of America, click here to read "Remembering 9/11/01: A picture archive".
Alexander Lisiansky's private vigil of fear is over. During the nightmare, Israeli TV and radio reported that there were no Israeli nationals among the poor group of 750 hostages that were held up by the Islamofascists from Chechnea. Also, contrary to yesterday's reports, Statesman.com reports that the final toll of the massacre is 90 hostages and 50 Islamofreaks. Today on the leftist National Public Radio (NPR), I heard a report about the whole Moscow ordeal. The NPR reporters described the Islamofascists as "Gunmen", "Chechnean Rebels" and "Guerillas". The word "terrorist" was only only mentioned at the end, and not by the NPR reporter ("Russians accuse the terrorists of..."). The word "Islamic" was not mentioned once. I copy the full articles below.
In what security officials said was an attempt to generate anarchy within the Palestinian Authority in the run-up to next week's planned elections, an Islamic Jihad suicide bomber blew himself up on Thursday in a Tel Aviv shwarma stand injuring 30 bystanders. Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other Islamic fanatical groups wish to destroy Israel and murder all Israeli jewish men, women and children. For more information on these Islamic mass murderers, click here. For a list of homicide bombings executed by these Islamic fanatical bastards, click here. I copy the full article below.
Palestinian Terrorists murder 11 Israeli Athletes at the Olympic games in Munich, Germany, 1972 At 5:00 AM, exactly 30 years ago, a seminal event in the development of modern terrorism took place. Eight Palestinian terrorists invaded the athletes' housing at the Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. They killed and took hostage eleven Israeli athletes competing in the Games, demanding the release of 234 imprisoned Arabs and German terrorists. Over the next few tension-filled days, all the hostages and some of the terrorists were killed, mostly due to incompetence and perfidy of the German government. The Olympic Committee made a controversial decision to continue the Games, and has never participated in any memorial for the slain athletes. Eventually almost all the remaining terrorists were hunted down and killed by Israeli agents, directed by then Prime Minister Golda Meir. A few days ago I listened to a story on National Public Radio (NPR) that covered the murder of the Israelis by the Palestinian terrorists. Although the hosts did briefly disapprove of the murders, the story quickly turned to a tacit endorsement of the action for "putting the Palestinian cause on the map". The host Brooke Gladstone spends a large part of the segment interviewing Brigitte Nacos, a Columbia University professor and author of "Mass-Mediated Terrorism", who is clearly proud of these Palestinians for bringing attention to their cause. I felt sick. NPR and its local San Francisco station KQED are well known for their anti-Israeli stance, but they have gone a bit too far. The host Brooke Gladstone mentions that an Al-Qaeda member is proud of the Munich murders: BROOKE GLADSTONE: Writing in an on-line publication, Al Anssar, an Al Qaeda activist called the Black September, quote, "the greatest media victory and the first true proclamation to the entire world the Palestinian resistance movement. The Munich operation was a great propaganda strike." But that doesn't mean NPR (which receives public funds) should be. Here's an example: BRIGITTE NACOS: Two years later it was very different, because they struck at the Olympics where you had the television facilities built up for that special event. Independent experts have estimated that it was between 600 and 800 million globally, so that was a major, major coup for these few Palestinians. Wow. Can you feel the admiration Brooke and Brigitte have for the Palestinian "freedom fighters"? Thank God they brought the Palestinian cause to the forefront of the liberals' agenda, otherwise how would Brooke and Brigitte hate the There were dozens of angles that NPR could have chosen to cover this story (in fact the Blog Burst does exactly that). Instead NPR chooses the one angle that is somewhat positive to the Palestinians: their success in bringing "their cause" to the world. The media coverage of these Palestinians killing Israelis might have had an impact on the "global awareness" of the Palestinian issue, but NPR could show a little less enthusiasm for the deliberate murder of Olympic athletes. To listen to the "Black September" special from NPR's "On the Media", click here. For the transcript, click here. Oh, and please stop sending NPR and KQED money - if you need another reason, see "The deliberate killing of unarmed civilians is terrorism". Now for the real story, here's a special report from Sports Illustrated (sportsillustrated.cnn.com): Black September commandos climbed the fence about 50 minutes earlier than envisioned in Situation 21.

Indian flogged for sacrilege As a matter of policy, I don't link to Nazi publications (such as this "Arab News"), so I won't list the source of the above article. Thanks to LGF for the link.
"Palestinian Legislative Council": A top Palestinian Authority official insists that Israel has no right to exist because it is "Satan's offspring," founded on theft and racism. This excuse for a political leader is not part of the delusional Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but is part of Arafat's secular group, which is supposedly more moderate. Unfortunately, it seems that today even Palestinian "moderates" call Israel "a Satanic offspring" and wish for her destruction and the genocide of her citizens. It is not "despair" that pushes the Palestinian mass murderers to slaughter Israeli women and children. It's racism, incitement, intolerance and hate - luckily Israel has a strong army and a strong will to defend herself and survive. I copy the full article below; found the link to the article on the excellent LGF.
After a while, it gets pretty boring: it's the same brainwashed-neo-Nazi "kill the Jews" bile that the Imams from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Gaza spit every week. Sometimes though, the leftist fascists from Europe will also suprise me. Today I received an email from a German who goes by the name of Kiewitz (kiewitz@netlabs.org). This guy managed to squeeze all anti-American and anti-Israeli cliches in one message. Here's an example: I'm German and I'm not proud of our history. I'm sick of it. But I'm even more sick by people that talk like racists and enjoy other people to die. Kiewitz, whom I'll refer to from now on as the "leftist fascist", was not happy about a video I published that shows how American forces attacked an Islamic terrorist camp in Afghanistan - click here for that story. Read this my little leftist fascist: the German Nazis, your people, managed to murder 6 million Jews during World War II and the Holocaust. If you do the math, that's 30,000 Jewish men, women and children PER DAY! On bad days, it would go as high as 50,000-60,000 human beings deliberately killed PER DAY. The next time you're watching B. München, Bayer Leverkusen, or any other German soccer team, look closely at the people in the stadium. Then, imagine the German Nazis going around the stands shooting at every one of them - all 30,000 in one day, all men, all women, all chidlren. And you have the audacity to attack me because I support America's war on Islamic terrorism? Let me tell you what I think of your friends from Al-Qaeda, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and any other Islamic terrorists that, similarly to your Nazi ancestors, deliberately murder women and children. The only value they'll have is when they become fertilizer and are buried underground. If you'd like to send a message to the German leftist fascist to let him know what you think, his email address is kiewitz@netlabs.org. I'm not finished, see below for the fascist's full message and the rest of my rant.
American visitors blanched at the sight: pro-al-Qaeda Islamists, who refuse to condemn the Sept. 11 attacks, rallying Sunday at Trafalgar Square Here's one website that supports the above rally, www.rallyforislam.co.uk - here's their main message: "We publically call the British public and the rest of the world to Islam, the fastest growing belief in the world. We openly challenge all forms of kufr (non-Islam) whether it be in the form of democracy, evolution, freedom, man-made law etc." Say no more. I copy the full article below.

Random Fact
Fact 304: "In Palestinian-ruled territories, posters celebrating the murderers from the Islamic Jihad and Hamas (Islamic Resistance) killed by Israelis have been a feature of life since the current uprising began in September 2000. But the boys of Balata have taken to wearing icons of martyrs around their necks at all times. 'I used to have half a bag full of Pokémon stickers but I threw them all away,' said Saleh, sitting in the house of his cousin, Jihad, a recent homicide/suicide bomber whose picture is becoming hot property among teenage boys in Balata."
