Israel must immediately remove all soldiers from Palestinian lands. There can be no excuse made available to Chairman Arafat, so that he may violate the principles of democracy.

Have you noticed that everytime Israel tries to withdraw from a city, suicide bombers are immediately sent out from that city? Then the Israelis reoccupy.

Some Proverbs for All

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.

Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming; but who can stand before jealousy?

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

He who is sated loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

Like a bird that strays from its nest, is a man who strays from his home.

Your friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake; and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.

A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple go on, and suffer for it.

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.

He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.

As in water face answers to face, so the mind of man reflects the man.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is judged by his praise.

Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.

Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds; for riches do not last for ever; and does a crown endure to all generations?

Jihad is a excuse for islam to attempt to force its self upon the west. The west will snuff it out as a pig farts in a sand storm.

IMO, there must be the appropriate fatwa's issued in order to stop the violence, because a true Jihadi will not listen to Chairman Arafat.

The Arab League has acknowledged the right of Israel to exist under the proper conditions of fairness.

Once the fatwa's are issued by all the senior clerics of Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aqsa etc, I would call upon the nations of Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt to mobilize both military ground and air forces to the border of Israel. The Israeli's have brought this upon themselves by continuing to defy international law. Now would be a good time for this to happen, because western forces are occupied in Iraq trying to keep all of the Iraqi people's oil money from going up in smoke.

In addition, truly fair negotiations can take place when both parties are of equal strength, and the Palestinian people do not have tanks or an air force.

I still condemn the killing of Sheikh Yassin, even though I think he was wrong.

The killing of a Rabbi, a dedicated man of God, by Islamic Jihad is the pinnacle of unacceptability. If the Rabbi was wrong in his faith, which is not an issue which mortal men may decide, it is matter which only God may judge ultimately.

If the death of the Rabbi were accepted, where would it stop? With the murder of Sheikh Yassin? Or even Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i or His Holiness Pope John Paul II?

No, these are all dedicated men of God, who serve and worship Him as they are commanded, and as the evidence dictates.

I also call upon the true clerics of Holy Islam, to issue the appropriate fatwa to stop the violence in the lands that contain the sites Holy to the God of Abraham. Of course, Jihad must continue while there remains unfairness and injustice, however it need not be violent Jihad.
