Israel must find some way of keeping Islamists out of their country. The fence is only a start.
Arab countries should host these crazed Palestinians. But, I hear that even other Arabs don't much care for them...
To: claudiustg; Southack
Israel should complete the exchange, get its one prisoner back safely, then launch an all-out war of extermination against Hezbollah. This should include not just the terrorist military bases in Lebanon, but their headquarters and offices throughout the Muslim world, the affiliated host agencies and, as Southack suggests in #97, the ideologues and enablers outside the Middle East.
The latter could be targeted in a revived and enlarged version of Operation Gideon, the 1970s era Mossad project that eventually tracked down and eliminated every one of the 1972 Munich Olympic terrorists.
Such an operation need not involve a great deal of bloodshed: a bomb-designing geek in Amsterdam turns up dead in a canal some morning, a shady banker falls down the stairs in Rome, a rabid neo-Streicher propagandist perishes in a car wreck near Manchester, mysterious raiders hit a terrorist-affiliated drug-lab in the hinterland of Paraguay and burn it to the ground, a private jet from Saudi Arabia disappears over the Indian Ocean, taking a prince of the realm with it.
None other than arch-liberal Bob Simon of CBS News advocates a variation of this for the US war on terror. He cites an often overlooked advantage of the Gideon style operation: nobody even claims that it is legal, and it does not therefore require changes in the law that might be abused later.

Hizbullah and the rest of those Arab terror organizations (including the one who did this attack, which is friendly to Hizbullah of course, like all of them who want to destroy Israel).

Israel must find some way of keeping Islamists out of their country. The way IS known, but Israel prefers an infinite series of these bombings to it.

I wonder, how much of this is going on now. It has an appeal that has the attraction of a good novel. Sometimes a very public message should be sent but than again.........

Tubavil to Israeli government:
Once again Jewish blood is on your hands.
You are cowards of the first order. arab muslim terrorists continue to operate in almost unlimited fashion against Jewish civilians. You have made Jewish blood worthless, in Israel no less.
May your names and memories be erased forever.

Palestinian Terrorists Kill Ten in Jerusalem Bus Explosion
10:58 Jan 29, '04 / 6 Shevat 5764
Ten people were killed, and another six are in very critical condition, after a suicide terrorist blew up on a public city bus in a central Jerusalem neighborhood this morning. Medics on the scene said that it was one of the worst sights they had ever seen; the explosives caused the floor of the bus to collapse, trapping and burying victims under the bus. The explosion took place only dozens of meters from the Prime Minister's residence.
The attack - the first one that Palestinian terrorists were able to perpetrate in over five months, due to intense intelligence and security work - took place only minutes before Elchanan Tenenbaum was transferred to Israeli hands in Germany as part of the prisoner/hostage deal. Some analysts say that the Palestinians thus wished to offstage Hizbullah in the competition between them regarding which terrorist group can make Israel bleed more. Others say that the Palestinian terrorists are miffed that "only" 400 of their number are being freed in the exchange.
On Aug. 19, 2003, 21 people were murdered when a Hamas teacher and imam from Hevron blew himself up on a #2 bus on Shmuel HaNavi St. The bus was on its way back from the Western Wall.
Fifty people are reported wounded in today's attack, but the number is expected to rise as shock victims report to hospitals on their own. The explosion took place on a #19 bus on its way from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital to the northern parts of the city, very close to the Moment Cafe where eleven people were killed on March 9, 2002 in another Palestinian terrorist suicide attack.

M.K. Finkelstein: Terror Attack Proof That Releasing Terrorists is Reward to Terror
10:50 Jan 29, '04 / 6 Shevat 5764
(IsraelNN.com) M.K. Gila Finkelstein said in response to the Jerusalem terror attack that This attack is painful proof
that the release of hundreds of terrorists is a reward to the blackmail and terror of Hezbollah and the other terror organizations. All thats left is to pray that the heavy price of returning Tennenbaum, and the bodies of our soldiers, should not ignite any more terror in our land.
M.K. Orlev: Not Expelling Arafat Now is an Invitation for More Terror
11:08 Jan 29, '04 / 6 Shevat 5764
(IsraelNN.com) M.K. Zevulun Orlev, Minister of Labor, and M.K. Yisrael Katz, Minister of Agriculture, are both calling for the expulsion of Arafat, following the suicide bombing in Jerusalem this morning. Orlev said that it is the duty of the Prime Minister to act upon the decision of the Security Cabinet and expel Arafat, today.
Also, If Arafat is not expelled as a result of the terrible terror attack in Jerusalem, it will virtually be an invitation for the next attack. It is prohibited for Israel to lose its power of deterrence, and therefore we must expel Arafat immediately.

American Envoys to Israel have told Ariel Sharon that the "Prime Minister" of the Palestinian Autority terror regime is willing to meet with Sharon immediately. Sharon to American Envoys: "We don't need a permission slip to defend our country."

Hamas terrorist spokesperson: "It doesn't matter to me which organization did this, it is a successful revenge operation in response to what the Zionists did to us yesterday in Gaza"
Yesterday Israel killed 8 terrorists in an operation in Gaza. However, most of the time this is nothing but propaganda, because it is almost probable that this terrorist set out to bomb the bus way before this IDF operation ever happened.
