Bulldozing houses does not a massacre make and no amount of lies told by Palestinians will change this. Where are the mass graves even the UN can't find? Where are the thousands of bodies nobody seems to be able to find (that is until Arafat has the chance to plant them). Fighters killed, that's a part of war. Don't play the game unless you're willing to die. Fighters being killed does not a massacre make.

sounds like a salaried individual.
eg, from the 'wisdom' of 3/7:
bon apetit !
That depends on whether bodies are found in the rubble of the bulldozed houses.
The Arabs get creamed each and every time the go up against the Israelis which is why the Arabs displaced the Palies and keep 'em mean!
By not allowing any of the relief monies in ( Araft controls with no accountability whatsoever ALL funds) to help the poor palies that Arabs have created a gang og homeless, hungry, angry people who will sell their kids to Arafat for much needed money.
The next Arab enagement will be a "massacre" as was the Gulf War as was the Afghanistan war as well.
See:
Khaled al-`Azm, who served as Prime Minister of Syria in 1948 and 1949, wrote in his memoirs (published in Beirut, 1973), that among the reasons for the Arab failure in 1948 was "the call by the Arab Governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and to leave for the bordering Arab countries, after having sown terror among them...Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave...We have brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees, by calling upon them and pleading with them to leave their land, their homes, their work and business..." (Part 1, pp. 386-387). See:
Harry C. Stebbens, who was in an official position in the British Mandatory Government in Palestine in 1947-48, wrote in the London Evening Standard (Friday, 10 January, 1969):
"Long before the end of the British mandate, between January and April, 48, practically all my Arab Palestinian staff of some 200 men and women and all of the 1800 labor force had left Haifa in spite of every possible effort to assure them of their safety if they stayed.
"They all left for one or more of the following reasons:
The Arab terrorism engendered by the November, 1947, U.N. partition resolution frightened them to death of their imaginative souls and they feared Jewish retaliation.
Propagandists promised a blood bath as soon as the mandate ended in which the street of all the cities would run with blood.
The promised invasion by the foreign Arab armies (which started on May 14, 1948, with the Arab Legion massacre of some 200 Jewish settlers at Kfar Etzion) was preceded by extensive broadcasts from Cairo, Damascus, Amman, and Beirut to the effect that any Arabs who stayed would be hanged as collaborators with the Jews.

Beyond accountability January 9, 2002

Yasser Arafat controls millions of dollars in a secret budget, which is used to fund 'a special economy based on corruption and patronage.' Despite demands, the Palestinian leader refuses to have his spending scrutinized
RAMALLAH, West Bank - The controversy over the Palestinian arms ship underlines a situation critics have long complained of: Yasser Arafat's total control over millions of dollars in a budget that has little accountability or transparency.
He uses the money to reward loyal lieutenants and pay for private projects. Opponents say he could easily siphon off the money for an arms shipment with few people knowing.
Though Mr. Arafat denies any knowledge of the weapons shipment on board the Karine-A last weekend, Israeli leaders say it is only the latest example of Mr. Arafat's spending priorities.
"Arafat chooses to buy long-range Katyusha rockets instead of investing in children's education," Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister, charged on Sunday, pointing toward the ship he called "this Trojan Horse at sea."
Matters are unlikely to change as long as Mr. Arafat has unfettered access to the million-dollar secret stash, made up of money siphoned off from local tax revenues or donations from Arab states and the European Union. It exists in parallel to the official budget, US$1-billion allocated for government services and monitored by members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, the Palestinian parliament.
"The [secret budget] is the political economy of corruption," says Adel Samara, an economist and a controversial figure in the West Bank.
"It is a special economy based on corruption and patronage."
"He has robbed the general government budget of US$200-million," adds Abdel Jawad Saleh, a former agriculture minister and the representative for Ramallah in the PLC.
For years, PLC members have been trying to make Mr. Arafat publish accounts of his secret budget.
It can if there are people inside those houses.
