Response to James Zogby on Huffington Post

May 16, 2006

James Zogby, Palestinian propagandist, misses from the word go. If the conditions of the Palestinians are so bad economically, how can they still afford to fire rockets at Israel on a regular basis? Where is the money coming from for the TNT that was captured just yesterday by Israel off of their coast? Where are they getting the explosives that they are using to send suicide bombers into Israel? Yes, thousands of Palestinians have lost their jobs in Israel. Why? Not because Israel is so "oppressive." It's because actions have consequences. Palestinians have lost the privilege of working in Israel because of the genocidal policy of their government as implemented by their citizens. Why would Israel want to help those that want to kill them - they made that mistake once by arming their future murderers as a result of Oslo. It would seem, even at this late juncture, that the so-called impoverished Palestinians would become more interested in building up their own economy, instead of maintaining and expanding their murder and terror industry. But that is not the case. They, along with Zogby, would rather blame everyone else for their predicament when they are fully and unequivocally responsible. And finally world opinion is holding them accountable. Their condition will improve but that will require that they first take responsibility for their actions, and stop blaming everyone else. Choosing a different industry to develop, other than the terrorism business, would certainly be a step in the right direction.
