JERUSALEM -- Israel sealed the West Bank and Gaza Strip and sent troop reinforcements to the areas Thursday, in response to Yasser Arafat's death.

Israeli troops also beefed up security at Jewish settlements, for fear they could be attacked . . .

Israel attacked by Palestinians?

Naw, never happen. /s

[newzjunkey]

So when do we find out how the Mossad knocked Yasser off? Was it HIV? Poison? Is this the assassination of Arafat that PM Sharon's threatened off and on at least all year?

How will Sharon behave toward the new leadership? Will he continue his reign of oppression?

We all know so long as Jerusalem is an unsettled issue, there will never be "peace" unless at least one of the two (or both) factions are "evacuated" or Jerusalem itself is obliterated.

Perhaps I could offer some edification, of the 4,389 killed (including IDF, but not suicide bombers) during this second Intifada from Sept. 29, 2000 to November 7, 2004:

Israeli Dead: 942 (21%)

Palestinian Dead: 3447 (79%)

Who's killing whom over there?

Arafat got his HIV the same way San Franciscans do.

How many of the Israeli dead were innocent men, women, and children going about their daily lives and how many of the Palestinians were terrorists?

Prediction: the Islamic Palis will attack after Friday prayers...

Unless, of course, the Temple Mount collapses under all that dead weight and the earth swallows them up. Hoping for a good turnout!

[SmithL]

From the viewpoint of the so-called palestinians, that Intifada became a lot less fun once the IDF showed up with bulldozers, tanks, and helicopter gunships. Your numbers would seem to indicate the sheer stupidity of continuing the Intifada, but then, Arafat never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. It would seem that Intifada translates to Darwin-wannabes.

Seems all we can get a bite on locally is terr air....as in all bark and no bite BS from the terrorist trash ! Thanks to Dubyas policies !

MSM's coverage of this murdering POS Arafats death is an insult to even equate such with the un-state furneral he'll get on the noooooze. Presstitutes servicing this turdburgler even in death........

Stay Safe !

There will be peace when all the arab and muslim terrorists are killed.

Same thing applies to the U.S.

The Arabs long to push Israel into the sea. All Jews, forever gone!

Israel only wants to live in peace. WHY is that so hard to understand?

[sarah_f]

Israel and the U.S. have a common enemy.

It seems to me that when the bad guys are trying to kill the good guys, we would HOPE that more bad guys get killed than INNOCENT women and children on our side, eh??

Regarding Arafat:

May he rest in peace.

Since when does the fact that the Arabs are as incompetent in war as they are in everything else make them less guilty of starting a terror war on civilians?
