Yes Indeed, You share those Crimes Mr. Majority Leader

In his speech to Israeli Knesset, Congressman Tom Delay who is also the majority leader in the US Congress, gave his full support to what Israel has done and continues to do in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict The writers of his speech made sure every pleasing words for Israelis was includede in his speech. Every word such as these:

- ".... Their (Palestinains' - Faramin) plight is real: they have been oppressed and abused by a pernicious enemy."
- "But their enemy is not Israel, nor its people, nor its democratic government."
- "Their enemy is Yasser Arafat."
- "Nations and organizations — however well-intentioned — that acknowledge Yasser Arafat and his network as legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people validate The Lie, and perpetuate terror." (whether you and I like it or not, he is the elected leader of the Palestinians, and it is not up to you to determine the Leadership of the Palestinians)
- ''Whereas Israel has no choice but to use its own measures to fight terrorism if the Palestinians are unwilling to do so..." (Call it a green light to kill even more of the Palestinian children for whose lives Mr. Delay has no regard - Faramin)

Is Yasser Arafat good? I don't know. But is he not elected by its people? Mr. Delay should have delayed his speech to read frist, not that he doesn't know?
Really, who the hell is Mr. Delay to interfer with Palestinian affairs and to say who is good and who is bad for them. However, Mr. Delay just gauranteed his re-election by the flood of financial support his campaign will receive from powerful pro-Israelis in the US.

He continued:
"In short, it is the position of the people of the United States, as expressed by their representatives in Congress, that Israel's fight is our fight."

Yes, Mr. Delay, I am glad you admit that israel's fight (call it crimes) are your fight. Afetr all, Israel would not be able to continue its fight (call it crimes) without your help.

And:
"History, as always, will judge harshly those who would accommodate evil's aggression." (Read your own words again Mr. Delay, that is absolutely right - Faramin).

And again he said a story:
"...She told me this story this week in a park, surrounded by the play of children directly affected by Palestinian terror. She called two of them over, and introduced me to her two grandchildren who were orphaned that day.
Despite the story I heard, these children played, and laughed, and seemed as hopeful about the future as any child could be.
And despite my heartache, I smiled too, because hope was with us in that park."

Mr. Delay, don't kid yourself, your heart only aches for the Israeli children and your heart does not even feel the daily suffering of Palestinain children. A good-intentioned heart would ache for all the children; Israeli and Palestinian and would seek a real solution to end the suffering of the people not like what you are doing which is perhaps a deliberate attempt to provoke more violence.

Given the fact that the Palestinians have to deal with people like Mr. Delay, who shows no real respect to what democracy is all about, by daring to call the elected leader of the Palestininas as "the enemy of the Palestinians", the PA should be very cousious in trusting the American administration and their so-called Road Map. After all, these comments are not from just an ordinary person; they are made by one of the most powerful and enfluencial elements in the United States forign policies.
