As long as the ZOA is seeking extrdition of killers of Americans, do you think they could ask that the murderer Samuel Sheinbaum be fit into Ahmad El-Sukar's suitcase for the trip to the States?

Besides being a classy demonstration of intellectual and moral consistency, it would be a two-fer for American justice.

Fine. While we're at it we should indict and prosecute the driver of the Israeli army bulldozer who killed the American girl. Of course, we all know that Israel does not allow extradition of Jews.

More than 100 American citizens have been murdered by Palestinian Arab terrorists since the 1960s, 39 of them since the signing of the Oslo accords in 1993. Twenty-seven of those 39 were killed since the Palestinian Authority launched the current wave of violence in September 2000

I don't know where these numbers came from but most, probably all, were Israelis with joint citizenship and a primary loyalty to Israel. They followed their loyalties to make aliyah. It is a tragedy that they died (as it is for the several times that number of Palestinians killed by Israelis). However, talking about "murdered Americans" is a cheap shot at best.

Talk about a naive waste of time and effort ...

   * Demand that the Palestinian Authority pledge, in writing, to refrain from providing any financial assistance to El-Sukar or his family (the PA's standard policy has been to provide salaries to released terrorists).

   * Demand that the PA provide a verifiable account of how much money it has provided to El-Sukar or his family since his imprisonment, and deduct that amount from the next installment of the Bush administration's annual $150-million grant to the Palestinian Arabs.

If the Palestinian were honest enough to be reliable for the above, there wouldn't be a conflict or people being suicide murdered in Israel! Get real, it's the terrorist Palestinians for gosh sake, the animals that will not renounce their bloodlust for death to all Jews in the Middle East, the idiot goons cultivated by the 'clean-hand Arab states' for their useful idiot role as assassins!

As soon as El-Sukar is released, a well-placed piece of ammo should end any freedom to murder more innocents that El-Sukar might have entertained.
