#1 ...the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a group with ties to Arafat's ruling Fatah movement...

#2 Yassir is losing allies fast. But he will always be able to count on the BBC, the Guardian, PBS, and the faculty newsletter of UCX Berkeley.

#4 I am still amazed, though I guess I shouldn't be, at how the apparent longterm strategy of Israel, as speculated upon here on Rantburg and elsewhere, has played out almost exactly as predicted.

#5 Right-O, Carl in NH! The MSM may be getting the clue in a month or so, heh heh. Doesn't mean that they will write about it. It has to go through the Agenda Filter™ first.

The Paleos will find out in jig time that pissing on your friends loses friends.

It is a Bwahahahahaha day in the neighborhood. I feel good! *James Brown music inserted here*

#6 

"They told us Larsen is now with Israel and America. ... They asked us to intervene to stop him in his tracks," he said. The statement meant the Norwegian diplomat could be at risk of being attacked if he defied the ban


Is it possible that the Paleos could be that stupid as to kill a UN official? Sorry, stupid question, never expect them to lose an opportunity to lose an opportunity.

#8 Ah, yes, Raptor, the UN wouldn't take any positive action, but I foresee a massive upwelling of donor fatigue. Arafat without a funding stream is just a dirty old man with no friends, not even worth bothering about.

#10 Quite so Raptor - quite so.

Thing is, it'll make some of the UN-types think, won't it?

In the words of Curly Howard of the 3 Stooges:

I tried to think but nothing happened!
