Leading Saudi Arabian cleric calls for “the termination of Israel.” Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais preaching in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, the holiest of all Moslem sites described Jews as “the scum of humanity, the rats of the world...prophet killers...pigs and monkeys.” Reported by Brit Hume, Special Report, Fox News tonight. “And how did Reuters report the story on its own website? “Saudi cleric says peace not possible with Israel.” “A story in a pro-Palestinian newspaper supported the Israeli claim that the refugee camp in Jenin had been turned into an armed fortress filled with "bombs, booby traps, and snipers." The pro-Palestinian newspaper Al Haram quoted a Palestinian fighter identified as Omar: "We had more than 50 houses booby-trapped around the camp. We cut off lengths of main water pipes and packed them with explosives and nails.” Omar said there were even more powerful bombs hidden inside rubbish bins and more explosives hidden inside cars. The Purpose? Omar said: “To trap the invading soldiers and blow them up.” “The United Nations Human Rights Commission, which the United States was kicked off last year, decided for the first time in 18 years not to condemn Iran for human rights abuses. Last week, this commission, by a similar one vote majority, decided not to condemn Zimbabwe for torture, arbitrary execution and violence against women. But the Human Rights Commission did vote to condemn Israel’s actions in the West Bank.” All stories from Foxes Brit Hume tonight The IDF should have just dropped a Daisy Cutter bomb on Jenin or bombs like the US used in Afghanistan. The US army tries to avoid American casualties. The Israeli army should also try to avoid Israeli casualties. Israel should worry less about world opinion, because no matter what they do, they will be criticized and condemned, as the Palestinian propaganda machine churns..
