Arafat decides not to transfer militants
2003-08-04
The Palestinian leadership has abandoned plans to remove some 20 wanted militants from the West Bank town of Ramallah, as demanded by Israel as a condition for ending the isolation of Yasser Arafat. “It’s been decided that they will not be transferred to Jericho or Gaza,” minister of state without portfolio Abdelfatah Hamayel told AFP. Instead the leadership was seeking “international guarantees” that the detainees, along with the rest of the “hundreds of wanted Palestinians” would not be targetted by Israeli attacks, he said.

#5  I'm thinking a well placed 15k pounder would end the discussion. And clear up a lot of Paleo leadership problems. Ditto on the church rant earlier. If that had been infidels in a mosque, we would NEVER here the end of it.

#4  B-a-r - Shit man, they'd talk about that for thousands or years as long as they lasted. Rank right up there with the Crusades! And what does it take to defile a mosque, uh, how about a woman entering by the front door? OR a woman not veiled? Doesn't take much to prick the thin skin of a prick! ;->

#3   what about those cretinous bastards who defiled the Church of the Nativity, and eventually were exiled to Med countries?

What's worth noting here is that the Christian world retained its sanity after this outrage. Now if infidels had defiled a mosque, would there have been the same muted response? I suspect that the answer would have been a resounding "no".

#2  Frank has it right. It is a one way street with these scum. Arafat wants international guarantees for everyone of his gunnies and himself, but he gives nothing. This appeasement has got the paleos and the Israelies nowhere in the real road to peace. The sooner the Arafish is removed from the pond the better. And don't get me going on the use of the word "militants" when it should be "terrorists" in news reports. Sheesh!
