Leftist Activists Attempt to Smuggle Wanted Terrorists
(IsraelNN.com) Chief Operations Officer of the IDF General Staff, Major General Giora Island, stated that a delegation of Western leftist activists and reporters, who had entered Ramallah to show their support for the isolated PLO leader, attempted to smuggle 20 wanted terrorists out of Arafat’s headquarters. The terrorists had found sanctuary in the Ramallah offices of the Palestinian Authority leader, but tried to escape undetected by intermingling with the leftist activists as they exited the compound. However, as the delegation of forty foreign activists and reporters, along with the 20 wanted terrorists, exited the Muk’ata compound, they were taken into custody by Israeli soldiers.

The IDF Central Command had declared Ramallah a closed military zone, making the very presence of civilians in the city a violation of security measures. The reporters among the group are expected to face sanctions on their future work in Israel. The IDF Spokesman’s office stated that the delegation endangered their own lives and the lives of IDF soldiers by their effrontery.

The European activists and reporters marched into Ramallah today, ignoring the warning shots fired by IDF soldiers and the declaration of Ramallah as a closed military zone. They met with Arafat, posed for photographs and presented the PLO leader with a t-shirt. A French member of the group stated that “if IDF soldiers shoot, they must be aware that they are also shooting at European citizens.” They next attempted to smuggle out wanted PLO terrorists, but were, as reported, apprehended.

In light of the serious incident, the Minister of the Interior, Eli Yishai, intends to forbid the entry of foreign leftist activists into Israel.

Snakes in the grass.

They're not "activists" anymore. They're the enemy, plain and simple.

Off with their heads.

A French member of the group stated that “if IDF soldiers shoot, they must be aware that they are also shooting at European citizens.”

So what?

Does not it look like a Nazi flag?

Jail them

[chukcha]

To some extend this is Israel’s fault. I expected that by now Arafat would be in an undisclosed location giving statements to a prosecutor.

[McGavin999]

Ah, yes, I have just the punishment for them. They should be give 30 days in jail during which time they will accompany the crews that go out to clean up after the bombings. They should be required to pick up every single piece of human flesh. Let these people find out first hand what they are supporting.

It's about time! That banner (#7) is in Portuguese from the Rural Workers Movement.

Once it is recognized that we are in the midst of World War III, the shooting of civilians who place themselves in harm's way in order to aid members of the "enemy's military" is within the law of war. Now that I know that these peaceniks managed to get 20 terrorists arrested, I am less upset about their getting in to visit with Adolf (excuse me, Yassir) Arafat.

Bump

[crystalk]

Since very many "foreign leftist activists" are Jewish, will he keep THEM out too? Or would they not BE "foreign?"

[crystalk]

That is portuguese.

Wasn't it hatellary clintoon that announced it was time for a Palestinian state? Yeah, I think it was! What a great idea, a sovereign state to harbor suicide bombers for world-wide export. Fits the clintoon mindset though ...

She did say that. And her husband was down here in Palm Beach County scooping up bags of cash from the Ladies Zionist Association last month.

When it comes to Israel and the mideast, I don't have clue to what goes on in the minds of Jewish Democrats.

[Robert_Paulson2]

Wanna bet that one or two of these "infiltrators" were actually IDF or CIA ops folks? I would. I would plant devices. I would bring a cell phone battery to match the make and model of the one arafat has on his table, and make sure it was hot. wired. and every other dirty trick I could think of.

Remember.

When we captured a bunch of al queda... we planted SEVERAL special ops guys in their midst. One of whom was killed by accident. WE HAVE THESE PUKES PEGGED. NOW we know exactly WHOM is in the compound. Who can be arrested and what can be done to take the place.

Arafat will be put in a state of permanent incommunicado. His lieutenants and the folks who Israel holds responsible for murdering the foreign minister... won't suffer arrest, I think. Arafat's buddies, may just pop arafat, so that they can blame it on the idf... who knows?

Bet on us getting intel out of this. Big time.
