I never thought I would see a repeat of the European cowardice, as the world witnessed when Hitler was able to roll over European countries in merely weeks. Even the great and powerful religions throughout the world are cowering against the Arab threats. Where is the outrage over 200 Arab gunmen holding the birthplace of Christ hostage? Doesn't one religious leader have enough faith to condemn the abuse of such a sacred place of worship? The world is bending over to kiss the gold plated, oil rich arses of Arab dictators, who keep their people brainwashed, poor and full of hatred towards Christians and Jews. Imagine what would happen if the corrupt, incompetent, cruel leaders of the Palestinians actually got their own state. Think about it. The terrorists cells in the Palestinian territories know only looting and murder. What would they do if they actually had to run a state government? Would they know how to set up and run an economy under democratic principles? Of course not. It would be a disaster, the Palestinian people would be further victimized, angry, enslaved and hateful. And they would turn their hatred towards the wrong people, once again. They would hate America and Israel because of their own terrorist government's propaganda and incompetence. But cowardly nations of the world, especially in Europe, are still bending over and hoping that the oil rich Arab dictatorships give them the blessing of a proverbial gold plated rod up the arse, to excuse their cowardice.
