| Rooters sampler - post booming today RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Ahmed Qurie called on Saturday for a halt to all attacks on civilians after a suicide bombing killed at least 18 people in a restaurant in the Israeli city of Haifa. "They'll kill us you fools!" "Mr Qurie urged the Palestinian people and all its national and Islamic factions to practice self restraint and to fully halt these actions that target civilians and harm our legitimate and just national struggle," his office said in a statement. And if they don't? You'll start the crackdown, right? right?......hello? It was Qurie's clearest call for an end to violence since he was nominated by President Yasser Arafat last month to replace Mahmoud Abbas, who quit as prime minister saying Israel and the United States were not doing enough to support his peace moves. Unfortunately the known terrorists in his cabinet don't support the calls for restraint, now, do they? Rooters forgot to acknowledge that The statement did not make clear whether Qurie was demanding an end to attacks on Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Palestinians have said in the past they do not consider the settlers are civilians. kill babies in the settlements? of course, they're combatants! Israel and the international community have called repeatedly for the Palestinian government to crack down on Islamic militants who have killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings in a three-year-old uprising for statehood. The Palestinians have failed to crack down, although reining in the militants is a condition under a U.S-backed peace "road map." They say that doing so would risk civil war. Then don't sign agreements saying you'll do it, right? Jeez |

#1 The Palestinians have failed to crack down, although reining in the militants is a condition under a U.S-backed peace "road map." They say that doing so would risk civil war.Then don’t sign agreements saying you’ll do it, right? Sign an agreement, then offer up an excuse later on as to why they can't honor that agreement? It's just a delaying tactic. In the meantime, their terrorist compatriots wear down the Israelis with more suicide/murder bomb attacks, trying to kill as many civilians as possible. I say it's high time to drop a 2,000 lb. bomb right on top of Arafart's Ramallah compound, and get on with the task of cleaning out the current corrupt Palestinian "leadership". |
