Coal Miner's Canaries Have a Message For the Free World

By coincidence, Osama was offed on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Israel's President Benjamin Netanyahu's words on this occasion pertain to Jews--but not only to Jews:
At a ceremony Sunday night at the start of the sunset-to-sunset commemoration, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew a parallel between the Nazis who sought to exterminate the Jewish people and Iran's talk of Israel's destruction.
The most important lesson of the Holocaust for the Jewish people is, "if someone threatens to destroy us, we must not ignore their threats," Netanyahu said.
Same goes for all infidels. We ignore the threats of jihadis--of whom Bin Laden is but one of many millions, more than a few of whom live in "Palestine"--at our peril.

The mention of the US reminds us before everything else of those innocent children who were dismembered, their heads and arms cut off in the recent explosion that took place in Qana (in Lebanon). This US government abandoned even humanitarian feelings by these hideous crimes. It transgressed all bounds and behaved in a way not witnessed before by any power or any imperialist power in the world. They should have been considerate that the qibla (Mecca) of the Muslims upheaves the emotion of the entire Muslim World. Due to its subordination to the Jews the arrogance and haughtiness of the US regime has reached, to the extent that they occupied the qibla of the Muslims (Arabia) who are more than a billion in the world today. For this and other acts of aggression and injustice, we have declared jihad against the US...
