It's not the truth you see in a mirror, it's your personal conviction.

"In a March 4, 2006 article in the PA sponsored newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Editor-in-Chief Hafez Barghuthi equates Western institutions with the Gestapo of HitlerÂ’s Third Reich."There is a new ideological Nazism which has started to dominate the West. It doesn't speak openly about its totalitarian Nazism, but carries it out in practice. I see in many minor and senior Western officials copies of Hitler. Many of the western institutions are as if they are managed by the Gestapo and the S.S. "While the Jews suppose they are safe from this Nazism which is directed towards the people of the third-world and Latinos, they are mistaken. It is not possible that the wolfish Nazi feelings will not eventually turn against them, because the neo-conservative idea is derived from the remnants of the Nazi idea. It is an Aryan supremacy doctrine with new terminology."According to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the frequent hatred expressed towards the United States by the PA has significant impact on public opinion amidst its constituents. A recent European poll found that 65 percent of PA Arabs "support Al-Qaeda actions in the USA and Europe." [Fafo - Norwegian-based NGO, in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, December 23, 2005] PMW Director Itamar Marcus notes that the strong support of violent anti-American support comes in spite of hundreds of millions of dollars in annual US aid to the PA. Marcus asserts that the hatred was documented well before the US announced a freeze in funding, following JanuaryÂ’s sweeping victory by Hamas in the Palestinian Legislative Council."

(The FAFO website refers to Israel as "Occupied Palestinian Territory.")

In a recent action, S. Con. Res. 79 was approved by the Senate on February 1st and by the House on February 15th. This stops any US Aid to the Palestinian Authority as long as they have a position that calls for the destruction of Israel. The House vote was 418-1, and the Senate vote was unanimous. Hawaii's Representative Neil Abercrombie was the only "No" vote. I wonder why?

Anyway, like most of the folks that hate the US, they are always willing to take our money, and our aid, while trying to destroy us. It seems to me, that it's kind of like trying to blow up the Homeless Shelter that's giving you food and clothes.

An interesting side note, in 2003 the uber liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein of Kalifornia introduced a resolution that the US has a sovereign right to persue and prosecute any person that commits a crime IN the US, and then flees to Mexico. Wow, she must have had a conservative moment. I'm sure she went straight to church for absolution.

Getting back to my title. Have you ever known somebody that looked in the mirror, and saw something other than what was there? Like a woman that sees her reflection as overweight. It's not that they are, it's just that they have convinced themselves of it. And so, it is the same with Hamas, except they see a righteous reflection.

Go figure.
