18:08 Attack on Israeli bus near the West Bank settlement of Emanuel, many injuries reported (Israel Radio)
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 when the Muslims start butchering more Christians people in Indonesia they'll wake up, but I doubt it.
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.
Time to stop talking and start doing.
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.
Are you suggesting that non-Muslim countries should not invest or do business with Muslim countries?
Oh, you mean olympic athletes and such?
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.
"THEY are the bad guys and we are but pawns in their quest for WEALTH."
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
OH NOOOO, the evil corportion's strike again!!! Should have known, they are behind every dastardly plot in the world. Where's my tin foil hat?......Ridin', did you take my hat? hehe
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...
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?
