As Israeli troops stormed the headquarters of Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority Friday, a Palestinian spokesman warned that the Israelis are "playing with fire."
He should know.
Yasser Arafat took out the matches a year and a half ago, when he walked out of the Camp David negotiations just as peace seemed possible. He lit the fire when he freed Palestinian radicals to murder Israeli children in coffee houses and defile the Jewish Passover with a suicide bomb in Netanya.
He was huddling in a basement room Friday when the fire he started burned down his house.
Israeli troops began taking apart the compound in Ramallah where Arafat and his Palestinian Authority have been -- at least -- countenancing the attacks on Israeli civilians. They say it is an uprising against Israeli occupation. It is really an uprising against peace. And now the Israeli government appears to have had enough.
The attacks that Israel launched on Friday came after a period of restraint in the hope that one of the various peace proposals would gain traction. Palestinian radicals responded with the Netanya bombing, one in a Jerusalem business district, the Friday bombing of a supermarket and other violence.
The dovish Israeli politician, Ehud Barak, used a common American barnyard expletive to describe Arafat's behavior in recent months. Even Secretary of State Colin Powell, who Friday urged restraint on Israel's part, was blunt enough about his derailed peacemaking efforts. "Let's be clear," he said, "about what brought it all to a halt -- terrorism."
That clarity has sometimes been lacking in the United States' war against worldwide terrorism. It has almost seemed, at times, that we were fighting terror only when it was directed at someone besides Israel. That the radical Palestinian terrorist organizations were not quite as evil and the rest of the evil axis.
Maybe that wasn't our intent, but that's how it sounded.
If this approach was intended to mollify the Arab governments, it has not worked, as Vice President Dick Cheney learned in his visit to Arab capitals last week, and maybe we should learn from that experience.
It is not that we should not maintain good relationships with the Arab world. But the time has passed when the United States can simply ignore policies that are not only anti-Israel, but anti-Jewish.
Talk about playing with fire.
Jews are hated by some people all over the world because all over the world there are tyrants who inculcate this hate to deflect attention from the evil they themselves are doing to their people.
Jews are hated by some people all over the world because all over the world there are barbarians who hate the idea of Law and its threat to their worship of Blood, Appetite, and Death. And Jews collectively can't help being a symbol and a reminder of Law, however well or poorly individual Jews may uphold Law.
There are many overlaps between these groups.
Too bad. More than they deserved then, and better than what they'll get now.
Since the moslems no longer even try to hide the fact that they are the genocidal bastard sons of Nazi Germany, they deserve whatever the Israeli Forces have in store for them.
The settlements and roads stayed because they were in Israel. The "occupied" lands are actually annexed lands. These are lands lost by the Arabs due to an act of unprovoked mass aggression in 1967. If they had not attacked Israel, they would not have lost those lands.
Why should not Israel settle on its own territory?

Israel is under no obligation to allow Muslim demons of the Jihad to more easily arm themselves.
Perhaps not -- but we are involved, and have been for many years.
Jews presently comprise 3.27% of the population of the United States, and about 2.25% of the population of the world. There are 13,523,591 Jews (roughly) in a world of six billion persons.
The Nobel Prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation of Sweden to men and women who have rendered the greatest service to humankind. Between 1901 and 1995, 663 Nobel Prizes were handed out. Of these, 140 are Jews or people of Jewish descent. That is 21.1%, or roughly Nine times the “expected” number based on population alone.

A song? Not a good idea to take lyrics of songs as a barometer of anything. Anti-semites, neo-Nazis and losers hate Jews. It's pretty simple.
Even a Mensa man would be impressed with that. Or jealous, maybe. :)
I believe the song was "National Brotherhood Week," by Tom Lehrer. A very funny song, as I recall.
And 95% of Gaza would always be given to the Pallies. Gaza is a toilet by the sea. Israel's only concern with it is it's a great place to smuggle weapons in.
Lies:
The map below represents the Barak government's proposed territorial settlement before opening the Camp David Talks, July, 2000. Before the summit various percentages of the proposed Israeli withdrawal were reported, including 90%, 92% and even 96% of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza. The map below represents a 95% withdrawal. One report stated that at the summit itself an 88% withdrawal was offered along with a partition of Jerusalem .

| The red areas with thin white pinstripes would become the Palestinian state. This consists of 95% of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza. The Golan, including the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, has already been offered to Syria. |
| The roads marked in red would become safe passage routes for Palestinians traveling between Gaza and the West Bank. |
| The red areas with slightly thicker white stripes located in the Negev, south of Gaza, has been offered to the Palestinians, as a trade off for the 5% of the West Bank that Israel proposes to annex. |
| The red areas with thick white stripes located in the Beer Sheva region, and in the Galilee are areas within the present sovereign borders of Israel in which the current population is over 70% Arab. Note: This map does not address the issue of Jerusalem. |
I don't know about that.....I heard a song about the I-95 down here in Florida...about how reckless people drive and craziness of people when you enter that deathway ...I would say that 99% of the people would agree with that.
