Arab student politicians campaign on which party has killed more Israelis

[Herschel]

A telling look at intellectually stimulated future Palestinian leaders

Student politicians at Bir Zeit University no longer stump on simply better library services and cheaper lunches. They also campaign on which party claims to have killed more Israelis.


"For the Islamist bloc, it is 135," says senior Rami Barghouti, a leader of the student bloc formed by militant Palestinian factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Barghouti says that figure, which is all but impossible to confirm, is the number of Israelis who have been killed by Bir Zeit students associated with Hamas.


The West Bank's oldest and most prestigious university is awash in rhetoric angrier than at any time anyone here can remember. The sentiments roiling a campus known for producing Palestinian leaders offer a bleak illustration of the fury and polarization among young people in the West Bank more than three years after the start of the Palestinian uprising.

1. Wolfowitz's America

"From this it crucially follows that we are going to war with Iraq because it doesn't have weapons of mass destruction. Or not many. The surest way by far of finding out what Iraq has is to attack it. Then at last we will have Saddam's full cooperation in our weapons inspection, because everything we know about him suggests that he will use them all. The Pentagon must be more or less convinced that Saddam's WMDs are under a certain critical number. Otherwise it couldn't attack him.

We contemplate a kaleidoscope of terrible eventualities: a WMD attack on Israel, and a WMD response (conceivably nuclear); civil war in Iraq. and elsewhere, together with all manner of humanitarian disasters; fundamentalist revolutions in Egypt and Jordan; and, ineluctably, an additional generation of terror from militant Islam. Meanwhile, common sense calmly states that an expanded version of the present arrangement (inspectors, monitors, full exposure to world opinion) is sufficient to contain and emasculate Saddam until pressure builds for a coup; and that the "war on terror" can start only with the dismantling of the settlements in the territories occupied by Israel."

2. It appears that Sharon has been very successful...

in reducing Palestinian hatred for Israel and support for terrorism. :eyes:

3. Sharon is killing little Israel

just as surely and efficiantly as Hamas could ever hope to.
