Angry Palestinians Lash Out at Militants
Ya gotta love 'ol Yasser as he tries to hold on to power...By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer
BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip - Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated Tuesday after a five-day Israeli invasion damaged farms and buildings, but in a rare twist, their wrath was directed at Palestinian militants for inviting the attack by firing rockets from their property.
Of course, no one said the Palestinians were too smart...On Tuesday, Arafat issued an order removing the regional governors from the authority of the Interior Ministry to his own office, a senior Palestinian official said on condition of anonymity. Abbas is the interior minister; the move is seen as another attempt by Arafat to limit Abbas' powers.
The Palestinians seem to just piss away any chance they have at moral or ethical positioning. Their policy seems to be that if they throw enough bodies at the Israelis then maybe the Israelis will grow tired of killing them. Meanwhile the injustice on both sides makes most of the world want to just turn away and ignore the whole region.During the Israeli takeover, eight Palestinians were killed in clashes -- four gunmen and four teens, ages 13, 15 and 17. Three of the teens were throwing stones at Israeli tanks when they were shot by troops.
Yeah, in case you can't tell, I side with Israel. When it's neighbors quit trying to eradicate it, then perhaps Israel can be pressured into making peace with the Palestinians.
