Nice selective reporting -- leaving out a key detail. If they were dressed as Israeli soldiers, isn't that a hanging offense if caught by the Israelis? (Let alone murdering or conspiring to murder?)

Good point

Prior to the recent Intifada I was leaning to the position that Israel should compromise and give the Arabs in Judea and Samarai their own government. I am now coming to the conclusion that all the Moslem Arabs must be expelled from the land of Israel before there will be peace and security for Jews and Christians.

The week before 9-11, I was talking to one of my cousins about how tired I was
of all the time "wasted" on the evening news about the endless Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio.

I'd gotten so tired of it, I was simply bored.

No more. I'm not saying Israel is always on the side of the angels, but as far as
I'm concerned, they are about in the same spot as England in the late 1930s: alone against
a horde of enemies (Palestinians and all their supporting cast).

I feel sorry for the individual Palestinians caught up in the conflict...but after 50 years
and leaders like Arafat, I've come to think that maybe they have the leadership that they deserve.
