PA Fakes Anti-Terrorist Activity
2003-08-20
A classified report indicates that the PA has been staging the thwarting of terrorist attempts. In an attempt to demonstrate its adherence to the Road Map, and to pressure Israel to continue making concessions, the PA has been filming staged "terrorist attack thwartings." The procedure is that an explosives vest is hidden, and then cameras are brought to the area when the PA security forces "discover" the bomb. Israeli sources say they will not be influenced by these dramatizations.
No suprise, but a clever tactic that will play well on the lefty news networks.

#4  The population of Israel is about 6.12 million.
The population of the US is about 290.3 million.
(source CIA World Factbook)
There are about 47 times more people in the US than in Israel.

20 people killed on a Bus in Jerusalem yesterday would be the equivalent of 940 people killed in the US. We in the US would not stand for such carnage. The bottom line is this: for the PA it is time to deficate or decommode (courtesy Fred) with respect to the hardliners. It is the end of the line. No tit for tat. The gunnies must go or it is a slow attrition death for Israel.

#3  speaking of debka - debka says momber was from bethlehem - all other sources say was from Hebron.
Important, as Bethlehem has been returned to PA control, and Hebron has not.

#2   from arutz sheva - take with a grain of salt.

Stuff coming from the PA gets taken with an even smaller-sized element.
