Odd sentiment. 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.

  you can't blame palestinians for rejoicing. 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.
