Thanks. This is a bad day for Israel. Arafat is trying to provoke regional war before GWBush is ready to take on Iraq. I pray that Israel takes vigorous action now. I would say the IDF is very motivated at this very moment...with this heinous Passover slaughter of Jewish innocents.

I heard a Sharon spokesman (Gissan, I do believe) on MSNBC, and he was enraged. Beyond enraged. This is a high Holy Day, the equivalent (to me) is if someone walked into the local Radisson at the beginning of their very crowded Easter brunch and blew entire families to pieces.

When one of the cable news stations had on a PA spokesmouth, he said oh, how sorry he was--then launched into a 5 minute diatribe against Israel, how they were under siege, how they were being held prisoners, the same old revolting vomitus. I was yelling so loud at the tube my hubby changed the channel to preserve the TV set.
