That's old commie stuff. Straight from their handbook on guerilla warfare that has big contributions from Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro and Che Guevara. Of course Arafat knows this sh!t backwards and forwards and has tried to implement it. 

It is exceedingly difficult to fight guerrillas. Particularly ones made deranged by fanatical religious doctrine. But Ariel Sharon has had experience doing just this. In the 1950's he commanded the primo anti- terror unit of IDF...... He is no dope.

Yes, the quote by Marighela is indeed "old commie stuff", the Mufti's "contribution" (sic, very sic) was to raise the stakes to ultra-horror with the bloodthirsty baby chopping massacres etc etc.

These belief beggering horrors were calculated precisely to cause extreme over reaction by the security forces and fast-forward the process of splitting and radicalizing both sides, leading to the total destruction of "the middle", and finally to the possibility of a "military solution" for the terrorists.

This is the same game Arafat has been playing for 40 years.
