When the cops knock, it does not pay to shoot out the window. Israel has the legal right to do house to house searches and confiscate war materials. It is written right into Oslo, and is also international law for "occupied" territories. The law is a two edged sword Arafat.

Terrorists Surrounded by IDF Force in Tul Karem

(IsraelNN.com) Several tanks and ground forces operating in PA controlled Tul Karem are at this time surrounding about 400 terrorists that fled from the army, deciding to move to a single area of Tul Karem. The military force managed to trap the terrorists, now surrounded by tanks, while a decision as how to proceed is being made


I can think of one way to proceed. Send in the offer - unconditional surrender or immediate death. Proper surrender procedure is to walk out buck naked with their hands on their heads. Otherwise shoot to kill.

Israel needs to continue to move forward with this momentum. They also need to ignore Colin Powell.

They share their Jihad/Fatwah philosophy with al Qaeda. I doubt if many will surrender. They might be captured, but surrender willingly? I doubt it--Arafat and his terrorist buddies have conditioned them from birth on to die willingly.

Let's see 400 terrorists. If they are all killed that would require 28,800 virigns.

Do you think this guy is going to come out alive--or that his guy's house won't be flattened either way?

(19:20) Police chase suspected terrorist

Police officers are currently chasing a suspected terrorist in Jabal Mukabar, an Arab village southeast of Jerusalem, Israel Radio reported.

The suspect, who is possibly wearing an explosive belt, ran into the basement of a house in the village. Police asked the family living in the house to evacuate the premises. The owner, a lawyer, has refused, apparently fearing police will cause the entire building to explode.

The incident may be tied to the earlier terrorist attempt at the Caffit cafe in Jerusalem's German Colony

Suddenly an idea struck me that would make the world a better place for all.

Impose absolute gun control upon all Muslims, and send all liberal gun-control advocates over there to help impose it.

Then, require all practicing Jews and Christians in the world, to carry a loaded weapon at all times and know how to use it.

Paradise in one or two sentences of legislation.

The Sikhs, Ghorkali Nepalese, Finfo and Scandanavian Asatruists get tio keep their sharp-edged implements, of course, and the Zulus their traditional assegai stabbing spear and theknobkerry and a few other variations, I'd hope....
