Aksa Martyrs Brigades Pulling a Saddam
From the Jerusalem Post June 25 2006 - Al-Aksa claims chemical capabilities, Excerpt:
The Aksa Martyrs Brigades announced on Sunday that its members have succeeded in manufacturing chemical and biological weapons.
In a leaflet distributed in the Gaza Strip, the group, which belongs to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, said the weapons were the result of a three-year effort.
According to the statement, the first of its kind, the group has managed to manufacture and develop at least 20 different types of biological and chemical weapons.
The group said its members would not hesitate to add the new weapons to Kassam rockets that are being fired at Israeli communities almost every day. It also threatened to use the weapons against IDF soldiers if Israel carried out its threats to invade the Gaza Strip.
"We want to tell [Prime Minister Ehud] Olmert and [Defense Minister Amir] Peretz that your threats don't frighten us," the leaflet said.
"We will surprise you with our new weapons the moment the first soldier sets foot in the Gaza Strip.
OK, two things:
1) They really have chemical weapons.
2) They don't have chemical weapons.
Let me first address 1) which gives us two possibilities:
a) they accidentally use the weapons upon themselves, in which case there's no problem.Of course, the Muslim world will whine about the loss of a million Palestinians, but in the end they will do nothing. After all, most of the world's Palestinians are not in Palestine but in refugee camps in Arab countries that have refused to let them emigrate for over 57 years. No Arab country wants Palestinians, who are the sand fleas of the Arab world [with my apologies to fleas everywhere].b) they use them on Israel, in which case the Palestinian question will no longer need to be asked, since there will no longer be a Palestine. The operative words here are operation glass desert, Israeli style. So it is hoped.
According to United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA): over 81% of the world's Palestinian population live in refugee camps. Of those who live in refugee camps 61.5% DO NOT LIVE IN PALESTINE! (Lebanon 12%, Syria 11.3%, Jordan 38.2%). It happens that the 38.5% of refugees who live in Gaza and the West Bank live better than their poorer cousins who live under Arab Muslim Rule.
For more than two generations these bitching, whining Arab "brothers" of the Palestinians have kept them as third class citizens in squalid refugee camps for political propaganda so that they could point to Israel as a scapegoat for their own inadequacies as a nation. So you liberal bleating dhimmi-sheep please spare me stories of the atrocities of the Israelis against the Palestinians. Any Palestinian refugee living under Arab rule would prefer to live as a second class citizen under Israeli rule if only given the chance.

In Israel, Arabs have full rights as citizens, equal to Jews. They can vote in Israel's democratic system. They have their own political party in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, with ten percent of the seats. They've even served in high-level government positions.
No Arabs anywhere else in the Middle East have as much freedom and opportunity as Arabs who are citizens of Israel.
In fact, here's how many Arabs who actually live in Israel feel about their condition: When it looked as if a Palestinian state might become a reality in 2000, before Yasser Arafat rejected Israel's offer, thousands of Israeli Arabs signed a petition to the government asking to remain citizens of Israel if a Palestinian state were to be created.
Arab countries hate, despise and isolate the Palestinians yet they want Israel to absorb them. What hypocrites!
Millions of Arab Muslims over the past half century have emigrated to Europe and the United States presumably leaving room for Palestinians to leave their tent cities and get absorbed into their host countries. But that never happened. Read Arab Countries Reluctant to Receive Expelled Palestinians, Excerpt: (September 12, 1995)
Col. Moammar Gadhafi's decision to expel 30,000 Palestinians from Libya has been greeted with dismay in the Middle East, where Arab countries have no intention of opening their doors to the would-be settlers.Lebanon already has denied entry to several thousand Palestinians who arrived on two ships from Cyprus and Greece without Lebanese travel documents, and Friday it banned maritime transport from Libya in hopes of cutting off the flow of deportees. About 350 Palestinian from Libya with proper documents were allowed to enter.
Other Palestinians remained stranded at sea or at the Al-Saloum checkpoint on the Libyan-Egyptian border.
Now let me address
2) they really don't have chemical weapons.
This is more likely if you read my posts on The Arab Contribution to Civilization: Nothing Lately and the lack of Muslim or Arab inventiveness here and here. Arab civilization long ago descended into barbarity and ignorance, so the most likely scenario is that this is their chemical weaponry: A DDT sprayer from 1944:
