#1 Like all things Palestinian: Big talk, no followthrough.

#2 Banning public displays of weapons does nothing to diminish the Paleo propensity towards violence.

#4 "Abbas says all weapons should be under the control of the Palestinian Authority and urged militants to disarm, but he has rejected Israel's calls to confront the militants."

What a coward !

* Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam.

* Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

* Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years.

* Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

* King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

* The Arab nations initiated all five wars against Israel and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.

* Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

* Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.

* The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.

* The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.

* The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.

#7 After the last "parade", this is probably for their own good...

#8 Magnificent, Oztralian! Only one quibble: King David didn't found the city of Jerusalem. It had been a small Canannite city that he took over and made his own. Followed by King Solomon, who was as serious a builder as King Herod a millenium or so later. The current Temple Mount was a Herod construction -- the Romans completely destroyed the Temple he'd built atop it, which was where Jesus had a small dispute with the moneychangers.

#9 abbas is no brave hero, but hes no Yasser Arafat either. Better someone who will take baby steps to disarm the terrs, while fearing confrontation, than someone who supports the terrs.

This is a first step. Lets see if Hamas resists it. If they dont, theyve lost one of their key propaganda tools.

#11 more evidence "the plan" is working:

Jerusalem Post:
Israel's response to the recent Kassam rocket attacks on Sderot has been measured and appropriate, Kim Howells, Britain's Minister of State for the Middle East, told The Jerusalem Post, disregarding Palestinian appeals for the world to rein in the IDF.

Howells, on a three-day visit to the region, hinted in an interview Wednesday night that financial aid to the Palestinian Authority might be withheld if the PA did not seriously begin tackling the terrorism in its midst

Until that word is replaced with "will", there's not a lot of confidence there.

I mean, I buy lottery tix every now and then, so that means I might win, right?

#14 Abu is a powerless leader of a increasingly defunct group of terrorists.

The PA has no leadership, no authority, and we better believe Hamas and Al Q are soon to be in charge of the West bank if they aren't already.

#15 The simple method:
"Ok, lissen up, you monkeys! From now on, anybody without a PA police uniform carrying a weapon in public is subject to being shot without warning. Have a nice fucking day."
