Palestinians say that Yasir Arafat, their leader, has issued no order in recent days to stop the terror attacks and probably could not enforce one in any case. Numerous Palestinians, in interviews today, showed no remorse for the Israelis injured and killed in today’s attacks. The opposite, in fact.
Which is what I have been saying all along. Arafat either can not or will not stop the violence. Put a bullet in him.
This suggests that, even if General Zinni succeeds in bringing about a cease-fire among the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, Mr. Arafat will have a difficult time bringing along the rank and file even among his own supporters. Numerous other Palestinians, in Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other militant movements, hold no allegiance to Mr. Arafat and his agreements.
Today’s attack, “boosted the morale of our people,” said Iyhab, a Palestinian gunmen who declined to give his full name, echoing the sentiments of numerous people interviewed here this afternoon. He was referring to the gunman who opened fire in the central Israeli town of Kfar Saba this afternoon, killing a schoolgirl.
Which also proves what I have been saying all along. They (the Palestinans and their supporters) will not stop until every Jew is dead and Israel does not exist.
Is this really so hard for people to understand? I agree the Jewish settlerments must stop, but is it not now crystal clear to everyone what is going on in the region? Bush better not go wobbly on Israel, and someone please muzzle Colin Powell.
