When senior Paleostinian security officials want to mock their Israeli colleagues, they remind them that just in Qalandiya - an area controlled by Israel - there are at least 400 M-16 rifles. That figure does not incluide other weapons - guns, explosives and grenades - that are in the hands of holy warrior groups there. Some of these groups are affiliated with Fatah's Tanzim, some are affiliated with other organizations, and others belong to criminal organizations - all operating in this no man's land, where no law applies. These gunnies have no problem with appearing on camera, on Channel 2 for example, just as they had no quams about opening fire at an IDF force that went into Qalandiya last Saturday to arrest a wanted man who already spent a year and a half in prison. "So are YOU going to go in there and get the weapons out, or are you going to leave it to us?" the Israeli security officials respond in anger whenever anyone accuses them of sitting on their hands and doing nothing - implying that the Israeli security forces are afraid to enter a refugee camp under their control in order to demilitarize the Tanzim. Even Israel admits that there is an arsenal of some 3,000 weapons inside the Shaufat refugee camp. The figure includes M-16 and kalashnikov assault rifles, grenades, and IEDs (improvised bombs). Last Saturday night, an army force entered the camp to take measurements of a home set to be demolished. Several dozen gunnies surrounded the building and made it abundantly clear that they were willing to die in order to stop the structure from being demolished. This is the mood in Paleostinian neighborhoods of Jerusalem. The army will have to come back there, with more forces, in order to complete preparations. And now it's clear that demolishing terrorists' homes - a countermeasure promised by the Israeli government - will entail fighting dozens of gunnies who have been left unchecked for years. | |
