Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Both Iran and Iraq have been funding Arafat and using the Israeli/Pal conflict as a shield, and that is a proven connection now, no fantasy at all. The Karine A, the documents, the Iraqi-trained Palestinian terrorist, and the $25K to families of suicide bombers show it plainly enough."
Those all show that the Iranians and Iraqis support the Palestinians. We all knew this already, for God's sake. Just go to their f'ing web sites or read what their governments print out.
The words Hawkmoon and you were using was "ordering":

But as we've discovered, the Palestinians are acting on the orders of Iran and Iraq which means that there will be no peace in that area until that influence is disrupted. #reply-18110759

Not that simple, Carl. The IDF found Iranian orders to Arafat telling him not to allow any lull in the suicide bombings in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, a time period when the Palestinians, had they been acting purely in their own interests, should have been laying low. #reply-18112091
"Supporting" and "ordering" are two completely different concepts. The US supports Israel, but Israel doesn't obey the US' orders, LOL. You guys have zero evidence of the Palestinians obeying anyone's orders.

P.S. I think that trying to interpret, from the outside, what is in the Palestinian's interests is pointless. If you want to make progress in a diplomatic / military / economic situation, instead of trying to figure out what the other guy should want, instead it is more useful to try and understand what it is that they actually want. Your interpretation is a fantasy, if you ask the Palestinians. |
