Israel cuts ties with 'hostile' PA
2006-04-10
The Israeli government says it has severed all ties with the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, declaring it a "hostile entity". However, the government will maintain contacts with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, although it has ruled out full peace talks with the leader of the Fatah faction. The decision was announced following a security cabinet meeting on Sunday. In a statement issued after the meeting Ehud Olmert, the acting Israeli prime minister, also said that his government would shun foreign diplomats who meet members of the Hamas administration.

#5  If I was the Israeli govt, I would first shut off the electric power, since there seems to be no Paleostinian Authority. I would hint at, since there is no longer a Paleostinian Authority, the Israeli govt is not bound by Oslo. However, for humanitarian purposes, the Israeli govt is continuing to provide potable water for _______ days. If a suitable settlement is not agreed upon after this time elapses, where Isreal's security and right to exist are affirmed, then the water goes off. Period. Pound sand and sewage. Action and consequences. Messkit: Meet sh*t.

#4  So when do they cut off the water?
That ends it one way or another in 7 days.

#3  Well, like "dead" and" alive", you got your "hostile" and your "friendly" and your "neutral".

If you're "mostly hostile", then you're either a little bit "neutral" or maybe even a little bit "friendly". Kind of like being "mostly dead".

But the PA is "hostile" - nothing I can do about it. They're dead.

#1  Fred : Alfalfa? I though you'd put the zero surprise meter here. Israel had no quarter with Ham-Ass, and never will.
