(Palestinian) Toddlers' lessons in terror
They dream of peace ... and blood

Middle East/news of Israel list.

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Ping, this too.

Arafat's infrastructure in ruins

Sniff. This is just SO sad.

[dennisw]

What had been the Palestinian Authority apparatus was built largely with donors' money. The leaders say it will take months and millions of dollars to repair the damage. Many believe the destruction was an intentional effort to undermine their state-in-the-making.

Darn straight. Israel ruined Arafat's dream of a terrorist crack house nation on the door step of Jerusalem and Israel. Pallies can get back to Israel when they want a peaceful Palestinian nation. Until then they can suffer since they seem to like their terrorists and the suicide bombers that target innocent unarmed Jews.

There are also fears about delays in restoring garbage disposal and medical services, raising the prospect of disease outbreaks.

WHAT medical services? The Pals are always running to Israeli hospitals, especially to have their children.

[Dog Gone]

the floors of most offices were littered with debris - stationery, damaged computer monitors, hard disks, glass, check books, invoices and posters, including some of Arafat and the Dome of the Rock, one of Islam's holiest shrines.

Ohmygawd! The Israelis didn't treat posters with reverance!

I can just imagine Yasser saying, "Geeez, it's like a human bomb went off in here! Opps. I meant to say 'it is like a martyr went off in here'."

officials are seething with anger over the destruction of seven years of work on a structure to run what they hoped would be a Palestinian state.

Slight correction: officials are seething with anger over the destruction of seven years of work on a structure to run what they hoped would be a Palestinian terrorist state.

Rebuilding would cost $500 million....

Has anyone else noticed the massive amounts that these Palestinian 'causes' cost!!
They go through money faster than is humanly feasible!
Especially to 'rebuild' those cement-block 'office buildings' (and what with the cheap labor....)

Mohammed Habes, head of the Department of Precious Metals, part of the Ministry of Supplies

Translation: night watchman of the warehouse where Arafat keeps his gold.

Why is it that to make a living, we in the West have to be such hard-working little Cartesians, each doing our job in the anthill, while---

All that Arabs and blacks have to do in order to be granted ZILLIONS in largesse, is to "seethe with anger." Again and again, they are said to be seething with anger. I think if seething was not so well-rewarded by Norway, the EU, Canada, and yes, even the USA and Israel, there might be less "seething."

Things might, in other words, simmer down.

"I opened all the doors I had keys for and they blasted open the rest," recalled Sobani. "They kept us outside the building but gave us advance warning before every blast so we could protect our ears." Sobani looked haggard but sounded eager to talk to visitors after more than three weeks in the company of just two other people.

Those IDF animals! </ sarcasm>

It remains to be seen whether Israel dealt a serious blow to what it termed the "terrorist infrastructure" in the West Bank, but the Palestinian governmental infrastructure built over the years by Yasser Arafat clearly has been battered - ministries are ransacked, files and computer disks missing, office equipment wrecked.

Note the dismissive quotes around "terrorist infrastructure" to imply journalistic skepticism. But, we know well, that the "terrorist infrastructure" is really the same as the "governmental infrastructure" of Arafat and his thugs. No difference except to the dishonest.

What had been the Palestinian Authority apparatus was built largely with donors' money.

Dysfunctional perpetual beggars, thanks to their "leaders" - murdering, lying, treacherous barbarians.

I don't know how I'll sleep tonight, tossing and turning, worrying about poor Yasser's infrastructure.
