I thought this was a very concise articulate commentary on Israel and terrorism.

"I thought this was a very concise articulate commentary on Israel and terrorism"

Absolute agreement here.It just doesn't go far enough.Ridding so called Palestine of Arafat is only the beginning however,since it will take ridding the whole area of those practicing the "religion" of islam with its insane belief system.Martyrs indeed! What a despicable joke these islamists are.

Yeah his and Mark Steyn's say it all

The way to end the war in the West Bank is not to make Israel retreat but to let it fight its way to a decisive victory

How is that achieved, and what does it entail?

[Long Cut]

It points up how sad it is, that even in America, some people are stupid enough to actively support Arafart and his PLO cronies. After all, they have been allied with those who viciously attacked us on 9/11, have attacked Americans themselves, and have been allied with our enemies in two previous wars(WWII, and the Cold War). Mr. Jacoby did not mention these facts, and many others, I'm sure, because he did not have the room in his column. Listing all the PLO faults and atrocities of the last 30 years, and their connection to the wider Islamic Terror Network, would fill a sizeable volumn.

The neo-Nazis who support these animals are obvious: they are mostly ignorant skinheads in need of someone to blame for their failures in life, and they have chosen the Jews. Sad, however, that they go so far as to betray their own country to salve their inadequacies.

The Arab terr supporters are obvious as well. They hate the fact that anyone can produce a prosperous, free state.

Beyond the usual suspects, however, it is puzzling why so many otherwise educated, intelligent people do not realize that they are supporting murderers and psychopaths who would kill them happily, regardless of their support.

Sadly, many of the above-listed useful idiots have invaded FR. It has been disheartening, to say the least, to watch them trot out the same, tired, and debunked-a-thousand times arguments again and again. On some topics, no further debate is necessary once the truth is known. Thus, all they do is repeat PLO and al-Queerda talking points, fantasy though they are, just to get them read.

What absolute suckers. Watch, if this thread gets long enough, they'll invade it as well.

A first rate commentary, thanks.

Wow, the Boston Globe? Is Jeff Jacoby a good guy?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

One side repeatedly gave up land for peace. The other side took the land and made war.

Just like with Germany in the 1930's. And we're making the same mistakes again.

It is nice to see the many articles appearing that are beginning to speak reason. Jacoby has always been on the mark (or at least close to it).

Unfortunately, none of this clear thought appears to be infiltrating the White House.

Arafat is a mass-murderer!

How can an American allow himself to be exposed to those who partied in the streets on 9/11? How can an American sit at a table with at least 3 people involved in assasination of Israeli Tourism Minister? These are murderers and are on Israel's Most Wanted List. ISN'T THIS AN INSULT TO THOSE WHO DIED ON 9/11 AND THEIR LOVED ONES? ISN'T THIS AN INSULT TO OUR FRIEND AND ALLY? It would appear the only ones it does not insult are the terrorists!! Yes, I am for Israel doing whatever is necessary to get rid of once and for all the "evildoers" no matter whether they have to push them into Jordan.
