In honor of International AIDS Day, a conference was held Monday in Ramallah on ways to prevent spread of the disease in the Palestinian Authority, where there are 80 listed infected people.

Religious figures who participated in the conference cautioned that one of Israel's aims is to damage the Palestinians by spreading promiscuous norms that are likely to negatively affect residents of the PA.

"Israel is trying to hurt the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people also by means of exporting AIDS, drug trafficking, promiscuous norms, and making prostitution legal," warned president of the sharia religious court in the PA, Sheikh Taissir Tamimi, and spokesman of the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop Atalla Hanna.

According to the religious figures, religious belief is the key safeguard against the relatively limited spread of the disease in the Palestinian Territories and the most surefire tool for fighting the disease.

original villifications?

2. Like most posts

that don't reflect well on some segment of Palestinian society, this one will be assiduously ignored.

3. They're religious folk...originality is a sin!!

Besides, seeing two of them made the statement, they can't say the same thing in unison if they head off on the dangerous path of original villification ;)

4. "In honor of International AIDS Day?"

What a fucking joke!

The bigger fucking joke..."According to the religious figures, religious belief is the key safeguard against the relatively limited spread of the disease in the Palestinian Territories and the most surefire tool for fighting the disease."

I am proudly "pro-Israeli" and if I saw this BULLSHIT coming from that side, I would say the same damn thing!

There is nothing like going out for New Year's Eve celebrations, then coming home to find a message on your machine saying "Hi, "BtA". I wanted to tell you Mary died today. She didn't feel too much pain."

Yeah, that memory feels me with such joy! :sarcasm:

NO ONE should ever have to die like that!! NO ONE!

I hate this time of year! I fucking hate it!

IMO, Arafat was a POS! It always bothered me that AIDS was thought to be a factor in his death. I wouldn't wish that on him!
