Well it's a good start.

When will the Palis finally realize that they will have a state once they adopt the methods of MLK and Ghandi? They are such idiots.

What we have to realize is that the Palis don't want a state UNLESS it involves the destruction of Israel.

Don't you just love this good news, and this understatement:

In a statement made before the explosions, Brig. Gen. Ron Kitrey, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said the standoff "can be resolved in a short while," but he did not elaborate.

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD START AT RESOLVING THIS STANDOFF!

More really good news from this take out the garbage action by the IDF: (link)

Fifteen Palestinian militants who were holed up inside a Palestinian Authority building in the West Bank town of Hebron were killed when the army blew it up overnight, Israeli military radio said Saturday.

The 15 were wanted men from the Hebron region who belonged to the Tanzim, a term Israel uses for fighters linked linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, the radio said, quoting army officers.

The militants were accused of involvement in attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians, the radio said!

Dead terrorists never hurt nor kill any innocent people. This is the reality that the Islamic terrorists and their lovers over here don't want Americans to know. Kill them all and destroy their weapons of terror. It is that simple!

Killing Arafat is the one sure way for Israel to show the Pali terrorists that they mean business. Sure this will cause maore (temporary) mayhem, but I don't think I have to point out to any regular FRepeers any of the links to mayhem that they have already been causing for the past 20+ months.

Cut the snake off at it's head and then move it so that it has no chance to re-grow a new one.

I believe the Palis will eventually kill Arafat themselves and try to blame the Israelis.

Only problem with this is there are no moderate Palis to fill the leadership gap. That is the big problem in the the plan proposed by Bush. At least the IDF is eliminating the radical pretenders to the throne that will be left in an Arafat vacuum.
