Arafat is behind the upsurge of vilencia...networking with the Wheelchair god of Gaza..and both will hardly get a wrist slap from the State Dept and Collin Powell.

Exactly right. Until Arafat is dead, there's not even a slight chance of peace in the region. ...And until the State Dept dumps its Arabists, we'll see nothing but minor slaps on the wrists for him and his ilk.

At some point in the future the goings on will hit critical mass again..the Arabs intoxication with killing Jews too much to restrain.
The Plass-stinians as the Gadarene Demoniac who howls from the ruins of Rammallah calls them may one day get a standing army..yet they are not really very bright when it comes to operation of technical stuff..so mostly they could never fashion an army with weapons and aircraft to threaten Israel.
yet the primates could learn to simply push buttons.. missiles more thier fortay.

Jerusalem will eventually be the prize..and the war..and lots of Hamdi's from all over comming to anihillate the Jews in a confederacy.
so ya..its the biblical thing of Ezekiel 38 and 39 with Hamdi buying it on the mountains of Israel...most likely obliterated by Israels vast arsenal of Neutronic munitions...lots of empty tanks and vehicles..with bleached white bones laying in the sun.

"A wild ass of a man..whose hand is allways against his brother"..the biblical poster quote for the tents of Ishmael.
