The Bush administration is sending another $59 million dollars as well as weapons to Fatah terrorist militias to use against Israel and possibly against us as well.

TEL AVIV – On the 30th of March 2007, an Israeli military force raided the headquarters of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' of the Fatah party and arrested a Fatah militia member wanted for carrying out terror attacks against the Jewish state of Israel.

Apparently in the interest of supporting stability in the so-called Palestinian territory of Israel the U.S. is actually supporting Islamic terrorism, this is just another reason to educate oneself about who ones enemy is.

According to the Jerusalem Post the arrested terrorist was a member of Fatah's intelligence unit, which has recently been receiving U.S. weapons shipments, and is slated to be handed funds from a $59 million American grant announced last week,

The Israeli Defense Forces raided the Fatah intelligence building in the northern West Bank city of Ramallah, seizing Ala Abu Muslim, a Fatah intelligence member and the bodyguard of Jamal Tarawi, a senior official of Fatah's intelligence branch. Abu Muslim was wanted for carrying out shooting attacks against Israeli civilians, according to Israeli security officials. He was openly a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's declared military wing, which together with the Islamic Jihad terror group has taken responsibility for every suicide bombing in Israel in the last two years.

Tarawi, who was trained by the Americans, is also a member of the Brigades, according to Brigades sources. He formerly served as the chief of the Brigades in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. His Fatah intelligence branch is slated to receive funding from a $59 million dollar grant the Bush administration pledged last week after an earlier pledge of $86.5 million was blocked by Congress for fear the money might reach terrorists groups.

The U.S. said the bulk of the new proposed aid package – $43.4 million – will be used to strengthen Abbas' Force 17 presidential guard units. According to the announcement, the sum includes $14.5 million for "basic and advanced training," $23 million for equipment, $2.9 million to upgrade the guard's facilities and $3 million to provide "capacity building and technical assistance" to the office of Mahmoud Dahlan, Fatah's strongman in Gaza.

Earlier this month, Secretary pf State Condoleezza Rice admitted in a hearing that she cannot guarantee U.S. funding for Fatah forces would not reach "the wrong hands." Rice said she would reduce a funding request for Fatah forces following concerns last month expressed by key lawmakers that some of the money would be used for terror-related purposes.

At the time, Abu Yousuf, a Fatah militant from Abba's Force 17 security forces, said the U.S. funds and weapons being transferred to his group would be utilized to "hit the Zionists."

Last month, Congress placed a hold on the $86 million transfer pending a clarification from Rice as to where exactly the money would end up. During a hearing before the House of Representatives Appropriations subcommittee, Rice said she would make a new request for less money. She conceded, "I will request less money, precisely because some of the money that I would have requested I did not think I could fully account for."

Earlier this month Israeli forces arrested 18 Fatah fighters in the West Bank wanted for shootings against Israeli civilians. Seventeen of those arrested were also members of the Brigades, Israeli and Palestinian security officials said. Abbas last June appointed senior Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades leader Mahmoud Damra as commander of Force 17. Damra, who was arrested by Israel in November, was on the Jewish state's most-wanted list of terrorists.

It isn’t totally clear if the U.S. will continue to supply the Fatah terrorists with weapons. The last American arms shipment to Fatah publicly confirmed by Israel took place in May. At first, the shipment of 3,000 rifles was denied by the U.S. but Olmert in June admitted the transfer took place, telling reporters, "I needed to approve the shipment to help bolster Abbas."

At the time, Abu Yousuf, a Fatah militant from Abba's Force 17 security forces, said that while some of the weapons may be used in confrontations against Hamas, the bulk of the American arms would be utilized to "hit the Zionists."

Abu Yousuf said if there is a major conflict with Israel, U.S. weapons provided to Fatah will be shared with other "Palestinian resistance organizations.” If Hamas or any other group under the influence of Iran and Syria wants to make a coup d'tat against our institution, these weapons are there to defend the PA," said Abu Yousuf. "We don't want to go to civil war with Hamas, because this is what both the U.S. and Israel want. This is our last option. We hope our brothers in Hamas won't oblige us to find ourselves in confrontation," Abu Yousuf said.

But the Fatah militant said the American weapons will also be used to target Israelis. He admitted previous American arms supplied to Fatah were used in "resistance operations" against the Jewish state.

"If Israel will deliver what it promised to Abu Mazen (Abbas), [meaning a] withdrawal from Palestinian lands, including east Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, remove all the checkpoints in the West Bank, release our prisoners, and find a clear solution for our refugees, we'll control our forces and the distribution of weapons," said Abu Yousuf. "But if Israel doesn't deliver, and we find ourselves manipulated by Israel, we cannot guarantee members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Force 17 will not use these weapons against Israel. Our goal is to change the occupation," he continued.

"It's unnatural to think these American weapons won't be used against the Israelis," he said. Like some other Force 17 members, Abu Yousuf also is openly a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Abu Yousuf said the American weapons shipments will be shared with other Palestinian terror groups. He said that during large confrontations with Israel, such as the Jewish state's 2002 anti-terror raid in Jenin, Fatah distributed weapons to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. "We don't look where this piece or that piece of weapon came from when fighting the Israelis," Abu Yousuf said.

THE BOTTOM LINE: At first glance it is difficult to believe that anything even close to this would be going on at anytime, but when we are supporting our enemies at the same time that we are at war with them is unconscionable and inconceivable. But then, I did say at first glance, so what about at second glance? Well based on the fact that the U.S. cannot no longer define what a war is, much less whom our enemy is, it doesn’t surprise me. The reason why we are not winning this war and the reason that we will not win this war is that this administration hasn’t a clue who this enemy is or what their agenda is.

So who are we at war with? The U.S. is at war with a nation that has been at war with the world since the year 610 A.D., the Nation of Islam. In 638 A.D. Islam took control of Jerusalem and the Jewish and Christian Holy land and over the next 457 years Islam exercised their agenda of incrementally taking control of the world until black Tuesday November 27, 1095 when the western Christians had had enough of Islamic hit a run raids and expansionism into Europe and began the Crusades. The Christian Crusades lasted nearly 200 years, until 1291, and since that time the nation of Islam has again been incrementally and surreptitiously carrying out their original agenda of taking control of all the nations of the world. Moreover, because of the blind ignorance of the Infidels (non Muslims) this time they just might succeed.

Are we again going to be at war with Islam for 200 years and be no further toward defeat than the Crusaders were in 1291? How much history has to be documented before the Infidels recognize that the only way to win a war against the oppressive theocracy of Islam’s never ending agenda of world domination is total inilation. The Bible doesn’t say support and feed your enemies until they kill you, it says “pray for them”.

In spite of our make nice philosophy of political correctness, to date for example they have succeeded in retaking control of most of Europe. Almost forgotten we have been fighting the nation of Islam since the shores of Tripoli, moreover, while we turn our politically correct eyes, Islam is stealthily infiltrating North America.

Islam’s oppressive philosophy is the only religion allowed to be taught in American public schools, Islam is in charge of our airport and shipping port security training as well as customs, teaching politically correct Islamic sensitivity. This is akin to having the Nazis in charge of our security and teaching the goose step and Nazism or Japanese imperialism to our school children during the Second World War. Has the whole world gone crazy??? Or maybe people have just been drinking to much Kool Aid, and have become illiterate and can no longer read their history books. I guess I had better brush up on my Arabic. My brain is itching again something terrible, can anyone explain this to me???
