| IDF intel chief sez al-Qaeda in Gaza |
| 2005-09-29 |
| Chief of Israeli Military Intelligence General Aharon Zeevi Farkash has claimed that al-Qaeda has infiltrated the Gaza Strip. Following the Israeli pullout from Gaza, al-Qaeda secretly entered the region through the Egyptian border he said at a meeting held at Tel Aviv University. In the future, Israel will withdraw from the West Bank and from some other regions, the military chief acknowledged, and confirmed that this is for the benefit of all Israelites. For now, no Arab military coalition threatening Israel exists; however, Farkash said, against the Qassam missiles and the Shahab-3 long-range ballistic missiles of Iran, Israeli should be prepared. |

| #4 Look at what is happening in the Gaza Strip, guys. By pulling all the Settlers out, Prime Minister General Sharon made himself a nice little free fire zone, with no hostages. On the West Bank side he's pulled back the outlying Settlements, the indefensible ones sitting alone atop a hill, and filled in the blank spaces on the map around Jerusalem. Basically, he accomplished unilaterally one of the proposals of the agreement Arafat refused to sign -- trading Israeli land for Palestinian land to get rid of the "swiss cheese" intermingling that the Palestinians have been complaining about. So now the territory the Palestinian Authority controls is truly Judenfrei -- although the fenced border has moved from the Green Line of the 1949 Truce. I wonder if Sharon plans to start moving the fence further onto PA territory, the longer the Palestinians refuse to live up to their responsibilities under the Roadmap... |

| #3 Sharon pulled out by himself. He convinced Bush to go along with it. It is better than Bush's shitty plan, but not by much. |

| #2 You're kidding, right? He is just figuring this out? Why have we known about this awful issue for years, while you give them what they want by fleeing? ANSWER ME, you freakin' idiot! Excuse me, I'm a little po'd over here. I do not believe we should have made Israel pull out. Maybe we should invite bin Ladin to some peace talks? Maybe we could even go to Oslo? Oh, you say that would be stupid, ridiculous, traitorous, suicidal, etc? EXACTLY. |
