<< Did all Palestinian people celebrate or only a handful? >> It was more than a handful. After the bombing of the WTC, the image of Palestinians dancing and celebrating, and bringing out special Palestinian snacks, angered me greatly. In fact, the Palestinian celebrations over the deaths on Sept 11th, were so detrimental to Arafat cause, that Arafat had his henchmen open fire on them, killing at least one Palestinian youth, that we know of, and had to forcably ban demonstrations and news reporters. How wide spread did you think it was, based on Arafat's extreme solution to the many demonstrations. << And who came to Lebanon's defense? >> Israel. But the world, and the US, forced Israel to leave. << I do not wish to assume that you believe all Arabs are terrorists. >> Most Arab nations are being run by ultra-nationalist, oil-rich, racist dictatorships. Not all are terrorists, but the Arab nations sure seem to be the breeding grounds of terrorism.
