Palestinan Leader Equates US In Iraq With Israeli Occupation

Apparently, after having pushed Israel for years to turn the other cheek, the US itself is pretty good at doing the same thing.

The following is from the interview with Mahmoud Ismail, member of the PLO Executive Committee.

"I want to cite the actions and future actions of President [Abbas], from the starting point that the Palestine cause is the essential and central cause of the Arab Nation. It's not surprising that [to] certain journalists of the current despicable American era, our [Arab nationalist] language of the 50s and 60s is outdated, when we talk about the nature of the struggle between the Arab Nation and its enemies: the Imperialists and Zionists, who attack and occupy our territories inside Palestine and outside, in Iraq, in the remains of South Lebanon and the Golan.

"We [however,] take pride in this [Arab nationalist] language because we are the authentic Arabs who believe in our Arabism, our faith, our cause, our Nation, in our right to struggle and to resistance [euphemism for terror] in all possible ways in all the occupied lands, in Palestine, Lebanon the Golan and Iraq..."

Sticks and stones, or in that part of the world: AK47's and IED's.
