#1 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine leader Abu Hani told WND his terror group used a cease-fire signed with Israel last year "for a rest in order to rehabilitate forces..."

Proof positive that a "truce" is only of value to the enemy, buying them more time with which to prolong the conflict.

#2 Israel MUST use something like camera-mounted blimps instead of relying on tit-for-tat retaliation from projectiles. The wall was the hard part--keeping the buggers out. But now they have to be able to counterattack *before* they are attacked.

They should also announce that unless Hamas agrees to certain conditions, East Jerusalem will be converted to Jewish-only. You can't bargain unless you have something to bargain with. Pay the Arab residents of EJ a fair amount of money, but they must go.

Let's see how Hamas tries to declare *that* a victory.

#4 Isreal should reply that Jerusalem is considered a "Sacred city" to the Jewish and Christian religions and any attack upon that city by Islamic fanatics will be answered by a like attack upon Mecca.

#5 ...Fatah and its "military offshoot," the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, will become the most active Palestinian terror group, a senior Brigades leader said in an exclusive interview.

Oh, good! Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven, eh boys?

#6 It's my opinion the reason Fatah lost and Hamas won is that wherever Hamas goes they do community work. Fatah is corrupt from the feet up and although everyone knew it the rank and file couldn't do anything about it as long as the Fatah thugs were in power. The election gave the Palestinian people the chance to throw out the thugs. They know very well where all the money went. Fatah has never been about reconciling with Israel as is evident from this article. The people didn't vote Hamas in because they are more violent, just better at winning "The Hearts and Minds" of the Palestinians. All the BS about voting out a "moderate" Fatah and voting in a militant Hamas is just that. BS.The corrupt Fatah leaders just can't see that you do have to address the needs of the people you govern. Hamas understands that and that makes them even more dangerous.

#7 Would Fatah be getting the money from the Gulf Emirates to do their charitable work if they weren't a terrorist group dedicated to killing Israeli civilians?

#8 As long as international support exists for the two-state non-solution, terror groups will make capital out of the general imbecility of our leaders. "No nation building": GWB, May 2000.

#9 The leader said Abbas' party supports the Brigades' terror attacks against Israeli civilians and approves of a massive violent offensive he warned will soon be launched against the Jewish state, in part to revolt against Hamas.

If, indeed, Abu Mudhen has sanctioned this new wave of violence, then he should be next up for the Yassin Spa Treatment^®.

#10 Deacon's right. And I understand that Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas is an affiliate) is doing the same sort of groundwork in the slums in Turkey as well.

#13 The Israelis under Begin used to have an unstated rule - 10 for 1. Yesterday, some asshat was talking about "acceptable losses." How about 10 for 1?
