#1 (Oh ya I remember those guys- hid in a church and used it as a fortress-Itâs ok to use other peoples religious places since they are all infidels anyways right?)

They didn't just use it as a fortress, they desecrated it.

EFL
Orthodox space hit hardest at Church of the Nativity
* * *
Gunmen, some said, raided food supplies and trashed monastic cells.
* * *
. . . they shot their way through the main doors of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Catherine, a 19th-century sanctuary adjoining the Orthodox basilica.
* * *
The New York Times and other publications reported that the most militant Palestinians appear to have lived, fought and died in the quarters of the Orthodox monks.
* * *
Franciscan priests did report that gunmen tore up Bibles for toilet paper.
* * *
[Meanwhile, in the Orthodox section] One altar had been used a common table, the baptismal font as a washtub and parts of the nave as latrines. The Grotto of the Nativity was used as a morgue. And Eastern Orthodox believers were unable to celebrate Holy Week and their Easter on May 5.

This is just one limited report on the desecration. It was much more extreme. But, even given this description, would we Westerners get away with doing even half of this to a Muslim mosque? These pigs have no morals and no respect.

#2 Maybe Israel should begin to attack the some of the Palestinian infrastructure after the next suicide/murder bomber strike; crater the roads and highways and knock out Palestinian power stations. Are the Paleos attached to Israel's power grid? Disconnect them. Whatever. A LOT of pain needs to be applied to figure out whether there's any value in even considering some sort of peace process while Arafart, his thugs, and his fellow terrorists are running the show.
