One "can't blame" the Palestinians for consciously and knowingly celebrating the slaughter of thousands of people, but one CAN blame the Americans for carelessly and short-sightedly supporting an intermediary government's policies? Hypocrisy such as this sickens me almost as much as your attempt to characterise the actions of a few people within Palestine as expressing the sentiments of all Palestinians. Yasser Arafat does not seem to share your glee at watching the suffering in New York.

I wouldn't wish this on any one but the US is getting a taste of their own medicine, theyve financed the destruction of lives and infrastructure in palestine. people are bound to to be pleased to see them get a taste of their own medicine for the first time ever. I too am scared about anti-arab sentiment tho. on the docklands light railway in London at Canary Wharf ( a skyscraper business centre in London) commuters expressed sentiments similar to the midwestren sentiments previously discussed.
