I wasn't aware that western Jerusalem and Rishon Letzion are in "occupied" territory....

When will they world understand that the Arab terrorists and their supporters view ALL OF ISRAEL as "occupied" territory? Even after the terrorists say so themselves, the world, including the US, believes other wise.

At some point, the world will have to accept that there is no "peaceful" solution to the Palestinian problem, just as their was no peaceful solution to the Germany problem in the late 1930s, early 1940s. Eventually, people will realize that the only real solution is a war of pacification. Unfortunately, admitting this fact is not considered to be politically correct.

Idealists continue to believe that their are peaceful solutions to all of the world's problems. Did anyone else hear Howard Dean last night telling the Bush administration that he should have been working on a solution to the Palestinian issue instead of worrying about Iraq? What foolishness! As if he - or anyone else, for that matter - could architect a solution to that problem. Clinton had eight years to try and find a solution. He was handed a golden opportunity to make an attempt when Rabin and Afarat stood in the Rose Garden shaking hands - a meeting arranged by Bush 41. But Clinton soon discovered that reasonable solutions require two reasonable parties, and the Palestinian militants do not fall under that classification. Despite his feverish eleventh hour attempt to iron something out, Clinton failed.

And now Dean has the nerve to tell Bush that he should be working to solve a longstanding Palestinian problem before addressing immediate needs? Great plan, Dean! Let the rest of the world go to hell in a handbasket while spending ANOTHER fifty years trying to solve the unsolvable.

Oh, wait - I misspoke. It is solvable. Through a war of pacification. We just have to come to terms with that.

Note to hamas: IT'S NOT YOUR LAND. NOW JUST DIE!

So right.

Arafat and the entire Hamas orgnization needs to be in the same class as Bin Laden. They are even more dangerous. If not stopped they will attack us as well.

Death to them all.

BTTT. It is significant that the opening scene of Michael Oren's book on the 6 Day War is a terrorist attack within Israel by the Fatah movement--in 1964!!!

Even after the terrorists say so themselves, the world, including the US, believes other wise.

The world and all know quite well what Hamas and their supporters say. Israel has been tolerant to the nth degree so far, but if Hamas keeps this up, there may prove to be a limit to tolerance.
