When senior Palestinian security officials want to mock their Israeli colleagues, they remind them that just in Qalandiya - an area controlled by Israel - there are at least 400 M-16 rifles. That figure does not incluide other weapons - guns, explosives and grenades - that are in the hands of militant groups there. Some of these groups are affiliated with Fatah's Tanzim, some are affiliated with other organizations, and others belong to criminal organizations - all operating in this no man's land, where no law applies.
These militants have no problem with appearing on camera, on Channel 2 for example, just as they had no quams about opening fire at an IDF force that went into Qalandiya last Saturday to arrest a wanted man who already spent a year and a half in prison.
"So are YOU going to go in there and get the weapons out, or are you going to leave it to us?" the Israeli security officials respond in anger whenever anyone accuses them of sitting on their hands and doing nothing - implying that the Israeli security forces are afraid to enter a refugee camp under their control in order to demilitarize the Tanzim.
Last Saturday night, an army force entered the camp to take measurements of a home set to be demolished. Several dozen militants surrounded the building and made it abundantly clear that they were willing to die in order to stop the structure from being demolished. This is the mood in Palestinian neighborhoods of Jerusalem. The army will have to come back there, with more forces, in order to complete preparations.

“Several dozen militants surrounded the building and made it abundantly clear that they were willing to die in order to stop the structure from being demolished.”
Oblige them.

Well, which is it? "controlled by Israel" or "no law applies"?
It's bad enough having reporters who cannot write logically, but where are their editors?
“Oblige them.”
They want to die for Allah, and we want to kill them. I see the makings of an agreement that will be the most perfect one in history.
One little airdrop should fix that problem
fighting dozens of militants who have been left unchecked for years...
And therein lies the problem.
That is what snipers are for. Shoot the lefty reported first
Color me horrified. Could anyone post that animated gif of multiple horrified animals and people?
