#3 Amazing. If anyone should know appeasement and negotiation doesn't work with mooslims its Israel. Why is this happening?

Furthermore, seeing as how Israel is probably the most hated country in the world/UN what do they have to lose by really finishing the pally problem. Cut off essential services. Close the border. Respond in kind to acts of war. Like the UN or the outside world would do anything? They can't decide to act on Iran or Africa. They would never get around to dealing with a vengeful Israel problem.

Man I wonder what Israel government knows that I don't. There must be something causing this silliness.

#4 $100 million in frozen funds.

Let's see, on today's Chinese weapons market that equates to, with cash discount... something on the magnitude of 300,000 Kalashnakovs and several million rounds of 7.62x39 ammo. Might be able to throw in a few metric tones of Semtex and detonators as well.

#5 For any squeeze play to work there has to be an eventual double-down bet. Appears the dice have been rolled. Pay off or Bust? The answer to that question should be apparent sooner then later.

#6 "And that was the real deal in Jerusalem last night. Olmert and Abbas cooperated to produce the pictures demanded by their sponsors"
There you have it. More fine work by Bush, Rice and the beauros at State dept. Britain also is perfectly willing to sacrifice Israel without batting an eye. So they probably added pressure too.

#8 If anyone should know appeasement and negotiation doesn't work with mooslims its Israel.

End of story. I can only imagine that Olmert is trying to strengthen Abbas against further Hamas onslaughts. What has obviously escaped Olmert's notice is that Israel is supposed to be killing both sides with equal abandon, even as Fatah and Hamas continue to off each other.
