RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops opened fire Friday on the private offices of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian officials said.

A Palestinian official said Arafat's life was in jeopardy.

Palestinians have been waging an uprising against occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since September 2000. At least 1,107 Palestinians and 381 Israelis have been killed in tit-for-tat violence since the revolt began.

Okay; show of hands...anyone give a rat's @ss what Europe thinks on anything? Anyone at all? I didn't think so.

You got that right. And I think it's hilarious. Can you imagine being Arafat now, hoping the EU will DO SOMETHING to save you?

HA!

War is horrible.

Despite that undeniable fact, that is a beautiful picture.

War is horrible, but unchecked evil is more horrible.

You've posted a beautiful picture of justice beginning to happen.

Re your pictures at #67:

"PASSOCRE". Maybe that will become a new word in World History.

The Passover Massacre in Israel in March, 2002, that precipitated the Middle East War. The Passover Massacre is now, like the Holocaust, becoming firmly entrenched in the memories and hearts of Jews everywhere, it seems.

PASSOCRE

More Israeli war-dance and drum-beats. It's time to get Arafat. The Arabs have promised "conditional" peace - isn't that proof that they have influence and control on these suicide attacks?

The latest proof that "peaceful" Muslims are not "just like us"

The Manger Square, Bethlehem lynching (March 18, 2002)

In a typical example of PLO brutality, and a shining specimen of what they will do to all non-Muslims given half the chance, the Arab Hitler Yasser Arafat's henchmen executed a fellow Arab accused of cooperation with Israel and dragged his body through Manger Square in Bethlehem, the traditional birthplace of Jesus, in broad daylight and full view of the Western press -- which, predictably enough, has had almost nothing to say about the brutal lynching.

And also write emails to less liberal-like people in the media like Bill O'reilly and Sean Hannity and Alan Keyes. They will discuss these issues if enough people write to them.

It's about a quarter past 7 p.m. Friday night in Israel. Probably right after sunset.

Is 'it' dead yet? Any new reports from Israeli, P.A., or al-Jezeera type outlets?

Passocre. You're so right -- this may be a turning point as defining as the assassination of Arch-Duke Ferdinand...

I'm getting a feeling that we are on the edge of a major event, on the level of 9-11 or 1967.

What was even more outrageous was that the two federal employees stood there arrogantly not helping him, he was leaning against the wall trying to tie his shoes unable to bend all the way over. The guards were actually rolling their eyes and looking impatient. This was a man old enough to be a grandfather and I will bet he never harmed a fly and probably was in the service. I was totally outraged. I offered to tie his shoes and he refused, he looked like he was trying to be good natured and maintain his dignity. It just makes me want to cry. My daughter went thru security flying alone with a baby and noone would hold the baby while she was trying to close her stroller to go thru the xray,,she had a diaper bag, a baby, a coat, etc. Finally a nice passenger helped her after she almost dropped the baby. The guards just kept saying "hurry up",,who are these people and why are they so hostile and mean???
