[American in Israel]

Even if Arafat distances himself from the Hamas and Hizbulla he joined in a coalition with two months ago, and America forgets his direct orders to kill two kidnapped American Diplomats... How can Arafat distance himself from the Tanziem, who are his own troops? It is the Tanziem that have been shooting up the Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and have killed many people in drive by shootings.

Arafat has allways been a terrorist, and proud of it. Now that court is in session does he think we have sudden memory loss? The clock is ticking on the Palestinian Authority.

The clock is ticking on the Palestinian Authority.

I think that I agree with you.

Trouble is, after Arafat, what? A "final solution"? . . . A long, enduring, unrelenting "pacification process"? . . . Palestinian surrender and submission? . . .

We will prevail in Afghanistan. We may even prevail in our efforts to coax the Imams to redefine the essence if Islam. The Nation of Islam may renounce terrorism and declare itself a Religion of Peace. But it will never become a Religion of Pacifism anymore that Christianity or Judaism will become Religions of Pacifism.

We must return one day to the basics of, "justice for all with malice toward none."
