Defense Minister Amir Peretz has authorized the transfer of 5,000 rifles to
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Presidential Guard, Channel
2 reported Wednesday night.

[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: According to the report, DM Peretz bowd to heavy
pressure from U.S. Secretary of State Rice to approve the transfer of
weapons from Egypt and other sources to the PA.

It should be noted that while Mr. Abbas swears he will not use weapons in a
"civil war" against his fellow Palestinians that he has made it clear that
he does not get what he wants from Israel via negotiations that all bets are
off regarding what action his forces will take against Israel.]

All rifles in excellent condition, and have been dropped only once.

[Little Ray]

Don't worry. Mostly they'll be used to kill other Palestinians.
This is a good thing.

"All rifles in excellent condition, and have been dropped only once."

They are French rifles?

Arm them now and we'll fight them later.

Arm them now and we'll fight them later.

My first reaction is to correct you. Israel will fight them later. Palestinians recruited to serve in Iraq will pick their arms up there. Then again, apparently we pressured Egypt to put US troops on the Egypt/Gaza border, so yes, we could be in a position of fighting palestinians or turning a blind eye as UNIFIL does in Lebanon.

maybe they will be rigged to blow up in the face of the 1st shooter?

Fool me once...shame on you.

Fool me twice...shame on me.

Fool me 3,4,5,6 times...I'm a freaking retard.

I go back to a proposal I made months ago. The Bush Administration should just nuke Israel. It would be more merciful. And as a bonus less blatantly and disgustingly hypocritical.
