Ewww, there's a zinger!
Until they do something about these terrorists .. this court has no right to say squat about this fence
Oh, just Israel's. It's a bitter, rabid Jew-hate thing, doncha' know. And Clinton signed a treaty binding us to this impartial "court" his last day in office that Bush quickly undid. G-d help us if a Dem manages to coerce, lie, cheat, or slander themselves into the WH in November!
"The World Court is now in session!"
oh no. say it isn't so. israel is in on the oil for food scam too?
The problem could be stopped right now if Palestinians stopped murdering innocent Israelis. But they won't, that is their whole purpose.One quibble I have is that there is no such thing as Palestinians. There are merely ethnically undifferentiated Arabs living in Israel.
This happened before the 9/11 mass murder by the mass murdering Moslem terrorists. Barak also suggested the Fence. Ariel Sharon defeated Barak, despite Barak's appeal to Arab voters. Arabs have the vote in Israel. In fact, in the Middle East, only in Israel do Arabs have a meaningful participation in a democratic process.Israel's ex-leader urges Peres to shun ArafatFormer Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak urged Israel's foreign minister, Shimon Peres, on Thursday not to go ahead with a meeting with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, expected to be held next week. The meeting, which could take place in Berlin, would be the first attempt in months to try to halt 11 months of violence that has killed nearly 700 people, most of them Palestinians. Barak, who as prime minister negotiated with Arafat to try to achieve a lasting peace and a separate Palestinian state, said American and European politicians also should exclude the Palestinian leader from top-level talks.

"By meeting him, you are legitimizing his policy of turning to terror and dealing with him as a benign leader," said Barak, 59, in an interview in his office here. "We can't ask world leaders to give him the cold shoulder if we ourselves are prepared to meet him."
The goal is the destruction of Israel? What a surprise. It's almost as if the PLO never revised its charter under the terms of the Oslo Accords. I guess some people think that terrorists improve with age.Palestinian support for suicide bombersThe June 2002 poll by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Centre showed that a large majority - nearly seven out of 10 people - supported the suicide operations, about 60% of those expressing their "strong" support... However, as Israel has conducted its massive military operations in the West Bank over the past few months, support for suicide operations has weakened, from a high of 74% in December 2001 to the current 68%. The fall is more marked in the West Bank - which has born the brunt of the crackdown - where the figure is 66%... A group of Palestinian liberal intellectuals has come out to say that suicide attacks are an obstacle to the achievement of legitimate goals enshrined by United Nations resolutions... But the broader Palestinian population has become, if anything, more radicalised, setting its sights on something more than ending the occupation. More than 51% see the liberation of all historic Palestine - and the removal of Israel from the map - as the true goal of the intifada, according to JMCC's findings.

The reason Labor refused to join the coalition is so they can have their cake and eat it too. It's an insurmountable situation without the kinds of actions Barak (of Labor) recommended and Sharon carries out.Israel Offers Phased TrucePrime Minister Ariel Sharon was awarded the task of forming a coalition, a formality that starts the clock ticking. Sharon has six weeks to form a government and - if the moderate Labor Party doesn't budge on its refusal to join with Sharon's Likud - the re-elected prime minister may have to rely on extreme right-wing and religious parties for a majority. Such a coalition would make concessions to the Palestinians nearly impossible... A gradual cease-fire took hold for a short while in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, but fell apart after a suicide bombing on a bus in Jerusalem on Nov. 21 in which 11 people were killed. Israel reoccupied Bethlehem, the bomber's hometown, following the attack.

What can you mean?< /sarcasm>
Yasser Arafat is Egyptian, and the rest of the 'Palestinians' are so diverse that none of their financially supportive co-religionists will grant them citizenship in any of their countries. In fact, that mob has been kicked out of a few Arab countries, most notably in Jordan, where thousands were shot to death by fellow Muslims to get rid of them.
But Israel is supposed to put up with them because their brother Arabs won't have them. Their whole purpose is to bedevil Israel, and even their co-religionists despise them. They're cannon fodder against Israel, that's all.
