| #8 True, but it would be an unfair fight. That's the rub; the Palestinians are probably convinced that Israel would not be "allowed" by it's allies (namely, the U.S.) to thoroughly whip the asses of the PA and their terrorist partners. That would explain the never-ending provocations in the form of shootings and suicide/murder bomb attacks. |

| #7 In a fair fight, the Israelis would pound the shit out of the Palis. Hell, even if the Palis were given a mild advantage, the Israelis would still thump 'em. |

| #6 True, but it would be an unfair fight. While the Paleo's have this slim, underused, noodle like body, the Isreali's have a massive frame of muscle, and the brains to match. That is why I vote we let them fight, and watch as the Isreali's use the Paleo's to floss their teeth. |

| #5 If you look at the Isreal/Palestinian in the context of an NHL hockey fight, where the US is the linesman. I think its time that we stepped back and let the belligerents attempt to knock the snot out of each other until their arms are weary. It probably sounds very pragmatic of me, but there it is. |

| #4 Haaretz report: At least two people were killed and approximately 30 were reported wounded Tuesday, 15 seriously, when a suicide bomber blew up just before 6 P.M. at a crowded bus stop adjacent to the Tzrifin military base in Rishon Letzion. Security officials said there were many soldiers at the bus stop. Police, who were checking the possibility that the suicide bomber was a woman, evacuated bystanders from the scene of the attack, fearing additional explosive devices might have been placed at the scene of the blast. Police cars chased a vehicle spotted fleeing the site of the bombing shortly after the attack took place. The car was supposedly heading north towards Netanya. Emergency rescue workers at the scene of the attack found the body believed to be that of the bomber. The wounded were evacuated to the nearby Assaf Harofeh Hospital, Ichilov Hosptial in Tel Aviv and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. "The attack today is further indication that the Palestinian Authority is doing absolutely nothing whatsoever to reign in terrorists or to dismantle the terror infrastructure in their areas," said David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office. The security forces have been on high alert since Israel's failed attempt Saturday to wipe out the top leadership of Hamas, including the radical Islamic movement's spiritual leader. Security forces raised the alert level in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning due to warnings of terror attacks. Israel Radio reported that the security forces suspected one or more terrorists may have already succeeded in infiltrating into Israel. The explosion comes as the cabinet and security officials have been calling for the expulsion of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat - whom Israel holds responsible for the attacks - and there has been some speculation that a suicide bombing that causes many fatalities might be the trigger for such a move. The United States has blocked the idea in the past. |

| #3 JPost had a report on an imminent terror/bombing threat this AM, since there's so many, I didn't think about posting it, but this was obviously the case |

| #2 On a personal note...I'm sure this was timed to disrupt Sharon's trip to India. Every time he leaves his country, his citizens die. This madness must end!!! |
