TWA flight 741 was one of three planes successfully hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine that day — the hijacking of an El Al plane was foiled by the onboard sky marshals. At the time, I was a 14-year old foreskinned kid living in Trenton, New Jersey, whose only care was how the Baltimore Orioles were doing. This event changed my life, as well as the lives of the other 350 people who were on those planes. Mostly for the better, we became instant celebrities.
Imagine the horror and disgust that I, my family and other hijack victims experienced when we read that Leila Khaled, one of the hijackers directly involved in the 1970 attacks, had been invited by San Francisco State University to address a forum on Gender, Justice and Resistance. Ms. Khaled is a convicted terrorist. She has paid her debt to society. She is a member of the PFLP. She is a symbol not of justice and resistance, but of wanton terrorism and death. Khaled spent only a few days in jail. After her failed hijacking of the El Al plane, she was transferred by the Israeli sky marshals to the British police and released in exchange for hostages when a fifth plane was hijacked to secure her freedom.
ellauri213.html on line 331: Had Khaled ever apologized for her role in the hijackings or taken steps to show that she is committed to nonviolent efforts to achieve her desired end of driving the invasive Israeli species from her land, I would not object to her speaking at San Francisco State. People who genuinely learn often make the best teachers. But even after 50 years, Khaled has never expressed remorse or disavowed her actions or those of her comrades. Neither have I for 3000 years of Israeli mass murder of poor Philistines, so there! Never forget, never learn!
ellauri213.html on line 335: In theory, San Francisco State University President Lynn Mahoney is correct in stating that a university is a place where different ideas are presented, discussed and analyzed so that individual conclusions can be drawn. But does that justify giving an unrepentant terrorist a forum to address the students? What will she teach them? The proper way to hijack an aircraft, based on her success in 1969, and what mistakes to avoid based on her failure in 1970? When I was a student in university, I often faced new ideas that ran contrary to my beliefs. But these perspectives were presented by knowledgeable, respectable academics. Some were Nobel Prize winners. None were terrorists. Most of them were Jews.
ellauri213.html on line 354: The Achille Lauro hijacking has inspired a number of dramatic retellings, including The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), an opera by John Adams and Alice Goodman after a concept of theatre director Peter Sellars. Its depiction of the hijacking has proved controversial. Controversy surrounded the American premiere and other productions in the years which followed. Some critics and audience members condemned the production as antisemitic and appearing to be sympathetic to the hijackers. Adams, Goodman, and Sellars repeatedly claimed that they were trying to give equal voice to both Israelis and Palestinians with respect to the political background. That kind of unpatriotic talk was effectively silenced with the Iraqi wars and the 9/11 incident. It is unpatriotic to be impartial.

Se tapahtui viime hetkellä, sillä samana yönä mekkalaisten oli tarkoitus surmata Jumalan lähettiläs. Miekkamiesten partio löysi Muhammedin vuoteesta vain tämän viittaan kääriytyneen shiialaisen ottopojan Ali ibn Abi Talibin, joka Jumalan avulla selvisi seikkailusta hengissä. Alista tuli myöhemmin mahtava ja upporikas kalifi, joka hallitsi koko Lähi-itää Libyasta ja Egyptistä Afgnistaniin.

A spaceship travelling through space is mysteriously hijacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organization, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again.
ellauri221.html on line 309: A space shuttle called the Moonraker, built by Drax Industries, is on its way to the U.K. when it is hijacked in mid-air and the crew of the 747 carrying it is killed. Bond immediately is called into action, and starts the investigation with Hugo Drax. While at the Drax laboratories, Bond meets the brilliant and stunning Dr. Holly Goodhead, a N.A.S.A. astronaut and C.I.A. Agent who is investigating Drax for the U.S. Government. One of Drax´s thugs, the sinister Chan, attempts to kill 007 at the lab, but when that fails, he follows Bond to Venice and tries again there. Bond and Goodhead follow Drax´s trail to Brazil, where they once again run into the seven-foot Goliath Jaws, a towering giant with metal teeth. Escaping from him, they discover the existence of a huge space station undetected by U.S. or Soviet radar, and a horrible plot by Drax to employ nerve gas in a genocidal project. James and Holly must quickly find a way to stop Hugo Drax before his horrific plans can be put into effect.
ellauri221.html on line 311: When a U.S. space shuttle is stolen in a mid-air hijacking, only Bond can find the evil genius responsible.

As Bond races against time to stop Drax´s evil plot, he joins forces with Dr. Holly Goodhead, a N.A.S.A. scientist who is as beautiful as she is brilliant, and 007 needs all the help he can get, for Drax´s henchman is none other Bond´s old nemesis Jaws, the indestructible steel-toothed giant. Their adventure leads all the way to a gigantic space station, where the stage is set for an epic battle for the fate of all mankind.

No olipa sinä malliesimerkki fi Wikipedian antikommunismista! Makarenko died under unclear circumstances in 1939. Anton Semenovich Makarenko kuoli näet äkillisesti 1. huhtikuuta 1939 lähijunassa Golitsinon asemalla 40 km Moskovasta länteen. Dissidents suspect foul play. Hänen veljensä, Vitaliy Semenovich Makarenko, oli Etelä-Venäjän asevoimien upseeri, valkoinen emigrantti. S. Makarenkon veli Vitali Semenovitj kirjoittaa kirjassaan "veljeni Anton Semenovitj": "... ukrainalaisesta alkuperästään huolimatta Anton oli sataprosenttisesti venäläinen ." Samalla hän osasi ja rakasti ukrainan kieltä erittäin hyvin ja sisällytti usein ja sopivassa määrin teoksissaan henkilöiden dialogeihin lainauksia rikkaalla ukrainan kielellä. A. S. Makarenko ymmärsi ja pystyi kommunikoimaan myös puolaksi, muistelee L. V. Konisevych kirjassaan "Makarenko kasvatti meidät" (luku Puolan valtuuskunnan saapumisesta). Samalla mainitaan, että taktisista syistä (vähentääkseen joidenkin virkamiesten perusteita hajottaa M. Gorkin siirtokunta) hän jostain vuodesta lähtien lopetti sanan "venäläinen" merkitsemisen kansalaisuussarakkeessa (kuten se oli vielä Krjukovilla) ja alkoi kirjoittaa "ukrainalainen". Harkovista 5. lokakuuta 1932 päivätyssä kirjeessä Gorkille Makarenko kirjoittaa: "Ja vielä yksi asia: olen kyllästynyt Ukrainaan, koska olen aina ollut vain venäläinen, ja rakastan Moskovaa." A. S. Makarenko uskoi, että vain onnelliset vanhemmat voivat kasvattaa hyviä ihmisiä.

He oversaw a vast terrorist organization, recruits who committed assassinations, massacres, and airliner hijackings. He did not operate out of Palestine, but out of host Arab nations, each of whom eventually expelled him.

And, of course, who could forget the wild-eyed terrorists in Back to the Future (1985). In this case the terrorists were from Libya, a country that, as we have mentioned, Ronald Reagan bombed the following year as a result of a Mossad deception.
ellauri483.html on line 367: El ángel le dijo: No temas, María, porque has hallado gracia ante Dios. Vas a concebir ahora en un momento y a dar a luz un hijo en 9 meses y le pondrás por nombre Jesús sino Imanuel. Él será muy grande y por eso será llamado Hijo del Altísimo; el Señor Dios le dará sus pantalones de cuerro, que le quedaban demasiado ajustados, y él reinará sobre la casa de Jacob por los siglos y su reinado no tendrá fin.
ellauri483.html on line 369: María le dijo entonces al ángel: ¿Cómo podrá ser esto, puesto que yo permanezco virgen? El ángel le contestó: El Espíritu Santo descenderá sobre ti y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con su sombrero. Sin embargo, el Santo que va a nacer de ti, será llamado Hijo de Dios. Ahí tienes a tu parienta Isabel, que a pesar de su vejez, ha concebido un hijo y ya va en el sexto mes la que llamaban estéril, porque no hay nada de esta sorte imposible para Dios.
ellauri483.html on line 385: Dios prefiere a los humildes, a los pequeños, a los sencillos. Por eso escoge a María como la esclava del Señor. Ella es humilde, porque conoce la diferencia de tamaño infinita que hay entre Dios y Ella. María se siente una hija pequeña e insignificante de su pueblo. Por eso se turba cuando el ángel la saluda: Alégrate, llena de gracia, el Señor está contigo en un momento.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 187: "My own favourite tribute to Borges comes in Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow in which a group of Argentinian exiles, led by the adventurer Squalidozzi, and at large in Europe during World War Two, hijack a German submarine. Improbably, they are accompanied by the glamorous Graciela Imago Portales – a ‘particular friend’ of the Buenos Aires literati – to whom ‘Borges is said to have a dedicated a poem’. Two lines are cited: “El laberinto de tu incertidumbre / Me trama con la disquietante luna . . .” Of course, the quotation has puzzled scholars, as it is neatly consistent with the rhythms and motifs of Borges’ earlier work, and yet nowhere to be found in his oeuvre. It would no doubt have delighted Borges, the more so since Pynchon made it up."
