Palestinian PM slams world ''silence'' over Nablus
2004-01-04
Israeli occupation forces on Sunday tightened the siege and curfew imposed on Nablus, the adjacent Balata refugee camp and the nearby village of Beit Foreek for the tenth consecutive day, amidst complete media blackout over the atrocities they are perpetrating, Palestinian sources said. Israeli troops shot dead four Palestinians on Saturday and bulldozed historical sites in the Casbah of Nablus on Friday. On Sunday, Israeli forces invaded the southern neighborhood of Tulkarem City and declared curfew there, amidst heavy and random gunfire, Palestinian sources conveyed. Meanwhile, Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qurei has condemned the international community's "silence" following the latest killings in Nablus. "Whenever the Palestinians carry out any attacks or operations against Israel they are condemned by the whole world but when Israel carries out attacks against our people, the international community stays silent," Qurei told Voice of Palestine radio.
He's not really good on cause and effect, is he?

#4  Qurei sounds like he couldn't follow "2+2=4"
That is why Arafart picked him. He is a YES man. I think bulldozing Arafarts homes and his HQs (with him in it) wouold be a good thing.

Okay, you're a taxi! ^_^

Seriously, Qurei sounds like he couldn't follow "2+2=4" unless the Koran told him it does...

#2  There was international silence on the accellerated depreciation desecration of the Casbah because it is not on the register of Islamic Holy Sites™. The world is suffering from Intafada Fatigue, and the PA gross receipts ledger shows it.
