[MadRobotArtist]

I'm glad the Israelis finally told everyone "Screw you guys, We're rolling into Palestine."

More power to Israel, it's about time they fought back without everyone else's permission.

[hellinahandcart]

Wouldnt that just set the UN ablaze lol

Okay, I'll be passing near the U.N. in a couple of hours on my way to church; if I look to the left and see flames, I'll know what happened. :D

"More power to Israel, it's about time they fought back without everyone else's permission."

Israel Warns Will Storm Arafat Office-Palestinian Last Updated: March 30, 2002 02:13 PM ET

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops warned aides to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat on Saturday that they plan to storm his office within one hour, a Palestinian cabinet member said.

Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo said the Israeli commander of the force besieging Arafat's office had told Arafat's aides of the decision.

"The commander of the invading force surrounding President Arafat's headquarters gave an ultimatum, by which they will storm into the headquarters to arrest whoever they want and to leave others inside," Abed Rabbo told al-Jazeera television.

"This step is a plan by (Israeli Prime Minster Ariel) Sharon against President Arafat's life. This is a very grave step," he added.

Abed Rabbo later confirmed the information to Reuters.

Fatah Claims Responsibility for Tel Aviv Bomb Blast (IsraelNN.com) The al-Aqsa Brigade of the Fatah terror organization has claimed responsibility for the bombing attack in the Bialik Café on Tel Aviv’s King George Street. At least 24 persons were injured in the attack.

We know who and where the head of Fatah is: Arafat. Arrest him.

Good! First, though, I recommend that they shoot out the windows of the office, so the smell of full underwear doesn't overpower the first soldiers through the door... ;0)

When they finally kill the ba$tard, I would so want to see thousands of Israelis celebrating in the streets just like the Pali's did after September 11th.

If only he could be led away in an orange jumpsuit, along with Bill and Hillary, Carville, OJ, Daschle, Leahy, Dershowitz, and Maxine Waters.

The more, the merrier!

They really have to worry about the Christ symbolism.

Even though he's an atheist, evil and twisted little monster, I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I was really afraid they'd kill him on Good Friday.

[Mixer]

I am willing to bet that Bush has "asked" Sharon not to kill Arafat

That and the fact that if Arafat is killed there will be a HUGE price to pay in the entire region. I can't bear to think what these terrorists will do if Arafat goes out a martyr.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Can you still be a martyr if you are killed by a Pig Fat Cannon????? Just curious... ;0)

[Jim Noble]

>>I can't bear to think what these terrorists will do if Arafat goes out a martyr<<

Maybe they'll start killing little old ladies at seder-or maybe they'll attack teenaged girls at the mall-maybe they'll even kill a crippled old man in a wheelchair and push him into the sea!

Yep, guess we'd better make the Israelis show restraint.

Are you Colin Powell, or just an adviser?

[LenS]

You're right. If Israel kills Arafat, angry Muslims will probably start hijacking planes, slam them into buildings and kill thousands of Americans.

Oh, gee, they're already doing that.

[Jim Noble]

>>Put a noose on a tank gun, put it around Arafat's neck,raise the gun, and hang him. Let his body rot at the gates of Ramallah<<

Didn't know you spoke Arabic.

[CoolH2OH]

There is the possibility that Arafrat will be k i l l e d by friendly f i r e when they storm his office, but they will make it seem like he was a m a r t y r.

[garbanzo]

Puts the lie to many things that the PLO has claimed.

It can't be a lie if the PLO hasn't claimed any differently. They've been honest (in Arabic at least) about what they want and what they do.

[Helms]

Do we really want to kill a Nobel prize winning terrorist, now a "made man"?

Yes. We have to stop worrying about suspected consequences.

We all might be pleasantly surprised.
