Palestinians fear worst in case of US war on Iraq
Hisham Abdallah for Middle East Online
Palestinian officials are increasingly worried that Israel will use the opportunity of a US war on Iraq to launch wide scale operations against the Palestinian Authority, sweeping it and its leader Yasser Arafat into exile. "We fear Israel will force president Arafat and the members of the Palestinian administration into exile and displace the population in an internal transfer operation," said Mamduh Nawfal, an adviser to the Palestinian leader. He added that "these operations depend on the American administration's approval... These operations will not be easy and will create an atmosphere of anarchy which will further complicate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
Lemme see here: They're doing something that'll end up getting them tossed — to whit, killing people indiscriminately. But they don't want to stop, because it feels so good. Maybe the Paleos need therapy...
