| IDF - Yasser’s New Neighbor | |
| 2003-09-11 | |
| Thursday, IDF soldiers in the West Bank city of Ramallah commandeered the Palestinian Authority Culture Ministry building, Palestinian sources told Israel Radio. The step took place hours before the security cabinet prepared to meet on Thursday to discuss Israel’s response to a recent wave of terrorism, and a proposal to exile Arafat from the territories. Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said before the meeting that a majority of the cabinet body favored banishing Yasser Arafat, but that the decision might be deferred as a result of other factors, an apparent reference to Washington’s opposition to the step. "OK, heads we expel him, tails we kill him. Ari, call it in the air...." The radio said Israeli troops took over the top floor of the building, which overlooks Yasser Arafat’s Muqata headquarters compound, forcing all of the officials working there to leave. A military official said the building has a commanding view of what transpires in the Muqata, the radio reported, describing the take-over as "deterrent in nature" and quoting him as saying, "At this stage we are speaking of a message and a signal to the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat." "Yaaaaasseeeer, come out and plaaaay!"
They’re polishing the big hammer. | |

| #9 Raptor, that sounds like the beginning of a good plan. You forgot the part about stopping all drainage and discharge FROM the site, and hooking it up to Ramalla's sewer system to dump stuff IN. "Yassar Arafart, how long can you tread |

| #7 I believe exile would be a mistake,it would just give him a wider field to manuver and scheme Better to tear down all surrounding structures,build a big-ass wall around the Arafats personal quarters.With lots of gaurd towers,automatic weapons,armor and artillary support. Then cut off all comunications,the only thing allowed in food,medicine and pampers. In essence it would be the same as throwing his ass in prison and solitary confinement,without actually laying a hand on his incontinant ass. |

| #5 Culture Ministry? Culture as in pretty pictures, or culture as in mold, yogurt, and anthrax? |

| #3 Culture...? okay, I'm stumped. What useful service do they provide, exactly? Are they the ones who print the official "martyrs for Jihad" trading cards? Do they sponsor the horrible murals gleefully depicting Jews blown to pieces? Or, maybe they just distribute the candy after a "successful" homicide bombing? |

| #2 Mubarak has said that Egypt would take Arafat if Israel expelled him. They could then punish Arafat by making him take phone call after phone call from Jimmy Carter. |
