PA evacuating West Bank sites
2002-03-28
  • Palestinian sources said Thursday that IDF tanks began blockading areas in the Gaza Strip and near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
    Oh? That's certainly a surprise. Wonder what brought that on?
    The sources said that Palestinian Authority security forces were on high alert and that all government and military buildings in the West Bank city of Ramallah were evacuated in anticipation of a possible Israeli military strike. The sources said all military installations in Palestinian Authority cities were evacuated, that many citizens bought food and emergency supplies in preparation of a long siege and worried parents took their children home early from school.
    You have to get all the gunnies and boomers out of the way so that only innocent civilians get hurt. Stick the young 'uns out front, because that looks better in the NY Times.
    The sources added that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat told his aides that he feared for his life, because Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was showing signs that he wanted to harm him personally. In addition, Arafat asked that all foreign representatives leave the city, for fear that it would be reconquered.
    Musta peed himself when the bomb went off in the lobby. He couldn't go to Beirut because he know that when it happened the Israelis would never have let him back in the country and with the blood still fresh on the walls the civilized world would have yawned at his plight. Now he has to wait for a week or so for memories to fade. If the Israelis kill him within the next seven days no one will care.
    The Qatari television station Al Jazeera reported Thursday that European countries instructed foreign representatives to leave Ramallah.
    Facing a little Euroreality? When they start stacking the dead Islamogunnies up like cord wood, they'll be wringing their hands and complaining about Israeli "brutality," but it's still too early for that...
    Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eleizer is convening senior security officials to decide on Israel's response to the Netanya attack in which 20 people were killed and more than 100 people were injured. Ben-Eliezer met with senior IDF and Shin Bet security service officials late Wednesday night.
    Best response would be to round up anybody with a gun or a fuse and kill them on the spot. Probably they can't do that politically, so they'd have to stuff them all into the Karine A and dump them in Antarctica or something. So let's see what actually happens.
