GAZA CITY, Gaza, Oct 19, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Israeli troops on Saturday entered the West Bank town of Tulkarem An Qalqilya, which had been under control of the Palestinian Authority. Israeli troops now occupy the towns of Jenin, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour, and have seized additional positions once controlled by the PA.

Yeah, go get those school kids. They don't have any tanks. Here, we'll send you another billion dollars.

JERUSALEM, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Israeli troops killed three Palestinians in clashes as they advanced again into Palestinian-ruled territory early on Saturday to retaliate for the slaying of an Israeli cabinet minister this week.

Stoking fears that their year-old conflict is spinning out of control, Israeli troops and armoured vehicles crossed several hundred metres (yards) into the West Bank city of Tulkarm and Palestinian gunmen opened fire, Palestinian witnesses said. Two Palestinian police were killed trying to fight off the incursion, Palestinian medical sources said.

Israeli tanks and troops also moved 150 metres (yards) into the West Bank city of Qualqilya under cover of machine-gun fire, killing a Palestinian in front of his house as helicopters hovered overhead, Palestinian witnesses said.

Palestinian sources said the fatality was a member of the militant Hamas group.
The Israeli army did not immediately comment on the reports of the latest incursions into Palestinian-ruled territory in the wake of Wednesday's slaying of ultranationalist Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi by Palestinian militants.

The toll since Zeevi's assassination, which ended a brief lull in the fighting during which leaders on both sides had hoped for a resumption of negotiations, is 15 Palestinians and one Israeli killed, and dozens wounded.

It's neither nice nor smart to assassinate, murder or maim any Israeli. Talk time has ended. Israel and US are at war with terrorism, i.e. murderous Muslim fanatics. We're mad, and we're not going to take it anymore.

go get those school kids

School kids with Kalashnikovs, mortars and RPGs? Must be bin laden school of terror... Don't be so gullible to the Arab propaganda

[Skywalk]

Isn't it sad to see that some people, who are otherwise "on our side," are completely brainwashed? Yeah they're gunning for children, Fred. Yes Zionism isn't a regional issue but a global source of misery. Yes, that must have been what messed up Zimbabwe! Pearl Harbor---ZIONISM!

[Aric2000]

Go Israel!! Kick ass and take names!!! And don't take no for an answer. Go after these creeps with every weapon at your disposal!! Take out the Garbage!!!

[l33t]

AraRat has a choice: clamp down once and for all on his goons or have Israel send him packing while it does that job for him.

[eclectic]

Almost all Muslims to a man repeat this party line: Jews are to blame... bla-bla-bla... bloodthirsty Zionists... bla-bla-bla... This is a well orchestrated propaganda effort and many people succumb to it, even on FR...

[EricT.]

I don't think AraFata$$ has any more chances left. His days are numbered. Same for Hammas and PLO. I am fully behind Israel on this one. They should eject all of those "Palestinian" squatters completely from the country. Let Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia take care of their Arab brothers. Oh wait, they didn't want them either.

That is because they are ignorant. Israel has done almost everything we have asked them to during the Gulf war and the current war. It is about time the US Governement unleashes Israel on the palestinians. Everyone one of the males 12 and older are terrorists or terrorists in training. Eradicate them.

[Crispy]

Amen. Force them all over to Egypt. They are the ones that are always defending them to the UN.

[PRND21]

It is about time the US Governement unleashes Israel on the palestinians.

Now is certainly not the right time.

[Skywalk]

They don't know how reminiscent they are of Chomskyite anti-Americans. It's a simple formula.

1)Find one or two or three incidents out of a possible 1,000 where X(Israel, Zionists, the blacks, Americans,etc) acted in a negative manner or made a mistake.

2)If a mistake was made, find new 'evidence' that points to a diabolical conspiracy.

3)Ignore any evidence that points to the contradiction of your views. No matter how overwhelming, how credible the source, this must be ignored.

4)Repeat lies and distortions often.

5)It's OK to be a hypocrite. If ever the choice is between two sides, or views, always ignore all that might point to the other side being correct or moral or justified.

If now is not the right time, when will it be? Who cares about the coalition. They are just holding us back. Who cares if Pakastanis riot and overthrow the government. We will just nuke all their nuke sites. End of story. Their nukes cannot reach us. Yet.....

[PRND21]

Who cares about the coalition. They are just holding us back.

Use of coalition troops, bases, intel, airports, airspace, etc. is "holding us back"?
How dare they.

Why don't you tell your Pali friends to stop setting up sniper posts in classrooms full of kids.
