Again with the $450 million in military aid the US supposedly gave the PA. Got a source for that, other than your fevered imagination?

The FAS links are to CRS reports. Call me crazy, but I think the Congressional Research Service can run down the numbers of how much money Congress gave in aid.

the way i think of it, judaism is a CHAIN. so the way to be one is to have jewish children - or at least TRY. if, through no fault of your own, you are the last link of that chain, not intentionally broken, so be it, it's god's will. at the very least you can not carry water for our announced enemies. that's how i feel. you asked and i told. and no, i don't think Obama likes jews because he fucked a jewish girl - in fact i find your salacious insinuations vulgar and insulting - in fact when antisemites want to make jews uncomfortable they regale tales of promiscuous jewish girls. that you copy that is strange, weird, redolent of goyyim. perhaps you are not an EX-jew but an aryan livak, a catholic balt. is that so? i'm starting to be suspicious. change your tune change your ways or change your correspondent.

The "Jews' misery"? Are you kidding?

No, I suppose not. Nothing brings out the nuts like the mention of Israel.

Having never known a promicuous Jewish girl, I wouldn't know. I probably maybe inherited my horror of judging or qualifying the nature of a woman's sexuality from my catholic side. So I really wouldn't be able to judge whether a woman was promiscuous, unless, of course, she told me herself she was, but they don't.

I am always amazed at Zionist's extensive knowledge about women.

And as far as changing my correspondent, you're stuck with me sugarloaf. You 'n me, side by side, as the song says. Whither Sugarman, there goest Mooser, too. Inseperable like the great vaudville teams.

I know you'll stick by me.

@QS

Not quite sure what nature the nature of your quibble is but quibbles are usually minor. The mere fact that electroll bot takes issue with the idea of an "Arab Street" is proof enough of its existence. I suppose the term is problematic with respect to Iran, since Iran isn't an Arab state but it is predominantly Shia so we could call it the Shia street or the Sunni street in Sunni dominated states like Saudi Arabia. Each Arab state has it's own respective "street". It is not a monolithic, pan-Arabic phenomena in every sense, but as you earlier described Hezbollah's more militant messages as being designed for internal consumption, or the Lebanese street, so might it be said that al-Qaeda's message is aimed at the wider "pan-Arabic street". The Iranians recognize the significance of the "Arab Street" and their financial assistance for Lebanon has earned friends among Arab Christians and Sunnis too.

Jordan uncovers more Hamas weapons

From CNN's Caroline Faraj

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 Posted: 1334 GMT (2134 HKT)

AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) -- Jordanian security officials have discovered more Hamas weapons hidden in a village in northern Jordan, a government spokesman said Tuesday.

The accusation marks increasingly strained relations between the Jordanian government and the Hamas-led government in the Palestinian territories.

Last week, the Jordanian government asked Hamas to postpone a visit by the Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Al-Zahhar after announcing they had found Syrian-supplied weapons that Hamas had smuggled into Jordan.

The spokesman, Nasser Judeh, said the latest weapons were smuggled into Jordan by Hamas members in Syria and were intended for use in terror attacks against Jordanian targets including Jordanian officials.

"The security apparatus seized weapons, TNT explosives, T4, and missiles to target some foundations and a number of officials," Judeh said.

Last week Hamas leaders denied smuggling the weapons. Hamas leaders said they were focused on fighting Israel and had no intention of interfering in other Arab states.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas visited Amman last Friday in an attempt to patch up relations with the Jordanians.

Jordanian officials said Abbas was shown the weapons and given a briefing by Jordanian security officials. They quoted Abbas as saying the situation was becoming "dangerous and ugly."

Judeh said security officials had arrested Jordanians who were involved in the weapons smuggling. He said they told security officials they were getting instructions from Hamas in Syria.

Another Apology

Obama LIKES jews. why? who can know that? maybe hyde park, maybe law school, who knows? i just trust my gut in this. AND he has because of his name and color and not-whiteness some sympatico with the moslems.

Oh, I see, and you are right. Your analysis is much less salacious, but way more deft. And not insulting at all.

And after all, maybe he likes us because he hasn't, as you put it "fucked a Jewish girl". I'm sure he has his reasons.
