PA fears large scale IDF response to suicide attack
Haaretz ^ | 12/29/5 | Amos Harel, Service and Agencies

Security sources reported the Palestinian Authority fears a large scale Israel Defense Forces retaliation in Tul Karm following Thursday's suicide attack in which an IDF officer and two Palestinians were killed.

The sources said the PA and its Fatah party closed its offices in Tul Karm early ahead of a possible IDF response. Palestinian police officers that were uniformed before the attack reportedly changed to civilian clothes.

The three victims were killed Thursday morning when a suicide bomber blew himself up at an IDF checkpoint set up in the West Bank in response to warnings of an impending terrorist attack. The officer killed in the attack was named as Lieutenant Ori Binamo, 21, from Nesher.

Does the PA need a lesson in cause and effect?

Finally Israel might take its own security seriously.

It was a terrorist attack. Suicide has nothing to do with it. People would still have been injured if the bomber had sat it down and walked away.

suicide attack in which an IDF officer and two Palestinians were killed.

Great kill ratio on that one. As for the large scale attack, I hope it happens.

Well, if they fear retaliation, then they should stop the suicide bombers; then no one would want to retaliate. It's so simple.

The PA fears so much, eh? Then the PA should be very happy to know that the retaliation will only be a new zone of peace on its side of the Gaza wall.

Yes, round them all up and transfer them to Gaza. Then bulldoze the west bank. Tell them Gaza's next if they don't wise up.

Good. They stop killing people when they fear responsibility, like spoiled children, when they have no fear of a spanking is when they are at their worst.

This normally is when America is defending them. Right now America is not. Praise God.

Question: How do you tell the difference between a "Palestinian security officer" and a "Palestinian terrorist"?

Answer: the security officer was wearing a uniform but basically they ALL are terrorists; whether in or out of uniform since that's all they preach & practice from birth.

Unfortunately they have no other desire or calling to do anything else except kill Jews, Christians and Americans.

I for one am no longer a Condi supporter due to her pro choice stance, the State department's continuing funding of these thugs, and her willingness to carve up Israel to make a state for these inbred idiots.

I agree Israel should bulldoze the west bank and give the Paleswinians the choice of going to Gaza or any other Arab country in the region.

Does the PA need a lesson in cause and effect? I'd like to see a serious attempt made made to confront them with 'cause and effect.' The question is whether they have the capacity to comprehend such a complicated concept.

The bloody Philistinian heathens d@#n well better fear it; Israel should oblige them by opening a big can of whoop-@ss on them! The bomber was planning to set himself off at childrens' Hanukkah parties! That's an act lower and more common than Satan's navel.
