| Israel Seals Off Ramallah | |
| 2003-05-18 | |
The Israeli army sealed off the West Bank city of Ramallah Sunday, May 18, following a double bombing attack in occupied Jerusalem. A curfew had earlier been imposed on the city, and the adjacent towns of Beitunia and Al-Bireh but was later lifted, the army said. However, all roads leading to Ramallah were closed. Ramallah is only five kilometers (three miles) from the French Hill neighborhood in east Jerusalem where the deadly bombing took place and houses the offices of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Prime Minister Mahmud Abbas and the Palestinian Parliament.

| #2 Dittos Frank! I am completely baffled by the insistance that Arafat should continue to draw another breath. This is a war and bad guys happen to belong to Fatah, the PLO, Hamas, Jihad, Hexbollah and al Qaeda. The sooner they're dead, the safer we'll be. |

| #1 Isn't it time to unleash the IDF? The Paleos and Arabs understand one thing: power. It's time for the Israeli boot to fall on Arafat's neck, then Hamas, then Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. Why, for crying out loud, are murdering fanatics like Sheikh Yassin allowed to live? A well aimed couple rockets taking out the entire block where he lives is the appropriate response. Sorry about the rant, it's not a good news day |
