Israel holds Arafat responsible for bus attack

    JERUSALEM, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Israel said on Wednesday it 
held Palestinian President Yasser Arafat responsible for a 
shooting attack on an Israeli bus in the West Bank because he 
had failed to crack down on militants. 
    "We blame Mr Arafat for not reining in these terrorists... 
This (attack) is the result of inaction, of pretending to arrest 
but not really making arrests," said Aryeh Mekel, a government 
spokesman. 
    The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed organisation linked to 
Arafat's Fatah group, claimed responsibility for the attack near 
the Jewish settlement of Immanuel and said it avenged assaults 
by Israeli forces. The army said eight people were killed. 
    The attack defied a call by U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni on 
Wednesday for 48 hours of calm after more than 14 months of 
Israeli-Palestinian violence. 
    "Those terrorist acts are probably Yasser Arafat's answer to 
General Zinni's request for a 48-hour ceasefire. Apparently 
Arafat and the Palestinian Authority can speak only the language 
of terrorism and death," a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

I don't know but I see alot of pissed of Israelis out there, I think the bar just raised from forgiving -to- pissed off, and it takes quite a bit to piss an Israeli off.

Maybe that's because the BORG were modeled on these kinds of mindless people bent on assimilating the world. They are really monsters...who do monstrous things...all in the name of their "faith".

The free flow of info is exactly why everyone who cares to look knows about Islam's involvement in almost all the wars going on in the world. The mainstream media, the OPEC cartel and the goosesteppers only talk about Israel. Meanwhile there are 100,000 dead Muslims in Algeria (thanks to their "peaceful" co-religionists) and enslavement of Christians and Animists in the Sudan by Muslims and the lamestream says nothing.

Maybe when the Muslims start butchering more Christians people in Indonesia they'll wake up, but I doubt it.

Arafat continues to snub his nose at the world and persue terrorism. I wonder how long before Peres will agree that Arafat is not worth a bucket of warm spit.

Israel must destroy the homes and villages from whence the terrorists arise. There is no other solution.

Not at least until the operation removing his lips from the Nobel medal lodged deep inside Arafat's posterior.

.... Islam's involvement in almost all the wars going on in the world ...

This is true and it begs the question: WHY are they at war. Transnational corporate operatives (CIA and Mossad) are on the ground where all of these 'wars' are being fought (ANY war, for that matter). Simple for anyone who can connect the dots, new. While the muslims are busy killing each other, the corporations are scurfing up the profits. Check out Carlyle and see who all has investments there. It'll blow your mind. They laugh all the way to the bank while people like you and I duke it out verbally over who the bad guys are. THEY are the bad guys and we are but pawns in their quest for WEALTH.

What a bunch of bunk!

Are you suggesting that non-Muslim countries should not invest or do business with Muslim countries?

Maybe Israel is hoping that Hamas will kill Arafat.

No, I'm referring directly to Arafat. Supposed statesman who sits at the peace table signing accords with one hand and plunging the sabre in your gut with the other. Hence, the sarcasm.

Not at all, unless the countries involved do not wish for such investments but are forced by the World Bank (via debt) into accepting them. Too often these 'businesses' are transnational corporations whose only religion is money, and who have absolutely NO loyalty to any country. Some of these companies have used government operatives to deliberately escalate petty squabbles beween the native peoples into full scale wars for the purpose of destabilization. The governments involved are nothing but silent partners in these crimes against humanity and ultimately, the 'winners' (the tyrants installed as the new leaders) are nothing but puppets to those corporations and the people are always the losers. Breeds stuff like terrorism.

Sort of like the Israeli soldiers that won't let Arabic people get to the hospital, resulting in deaths

Oh, did you 'accidentaly' forget to mention that the hospitals are Jewish? Perhaps if you could get the Arabs to stop shooting at the ambulances long enough...

If you want to rank their Chutzpa, getting to Israeli hospitals has to take second place to getting to their jobs in Israel.

Let's see if I understand this correctly. They want the obliteration of Israel and the removal of all Jews from "Palestine" but they still want the Jews to provide them with jobs and quality medical care?
