| Israeli nutz join Paleo nutz in protecting Yasser | |
| 2003-09-14 | |
A coalition of Arab loyalists and leftist Israeli Jews vowed yesterday to serve as "human shields" and protect Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat from any Israeli government attack. The activists were among thousands of Arafat supporters who crowded the leader's Ramallah headquarters to express their solidarity with the 74-year-old Palestinian head after Israel announced its intention to remove him from power in the wake of bombings last week that left 15 Israelis dead.

| #3 I have to agree and I'm wondering why no one mentioned something like this sooner. Hamas has been in the spotlight quite a bit recently, and Israel succeeded in getting the 'international community' to finally label Hamas the terrorists they are. There are several possible outcomes to the current attention on Arafat: 1. Hamas comes to his aid, or he asks for Hamas' help. The world's oldest terrorist is then working with known terrorists (again). Of course that won't sway anyone... 2. Arafat is expelled, Hamas assumes control of the Palestinians. The Pali power struggle then comes out in the open and a potential civil war finally breaks out. It's long overdue and was postponed by Arafat when he launched the current 'intifada'. 3. Arafat dies. Finally. Heart attack or some other natural cause. They'll blame it on the Zionist Death Rays or something. |

| #1 Fred, HAMAS has gone underground, deeply and quietly. I don't think the Israelis can hit them directly. I think what they're doing with Arafart is provoking HAMAS to respond. In order to respond, they have to come out of their holes. I'm sure we'll hear of some more Hamas nutz being whacked in a few days. |
