RAMALLAH, West Bank, Dec 13 (AFP) - Israeli army bulldozers on Thursday demolished the Palestinian television and radio broadcasting centre in Ramallah, in the West Bank, and were preparing to blow up the main transmitting mast, an AFP reporter on the scene said.

The broadcasting centre was heavily bombed in overnight raids and the bulldozers were ploughing the last remains into the ground. Israeli army sappers were also spotted preparing to blow up the antenna used to transmit programmes across the West Bank.

They need to stop blowing up empty building and start shooting some people. Building aren't causing these problems.

Right, but blowing up this TV/Radio center sure stops the mouth of that particular beast.  Too bad all those Israeli forces had to disrupt Hanukkah to trample down the trash.  They should have shut those mouths long ago.

You're probably right. But I would prefer to see Gandhi's solution - annexing the West Bank and Gaza and transferring the Arab population elsewhere. What is it the Arabs say they want to do to the Israelis; Drive them into the sea?

Looks like Ol' Bloody Sharon is hooked on his old Zionist terrorism habits. Tsch, Tsch! After over 53 years of bulldozing down peoples houses that belong to people who disagree with him, Ol' Bloody Sharon still hasn't figured out that his actions only make people more angry.

It will be interesting to see if President Bush has the backbone to take away Ol' Bloody Sharon's American made war toys, starting with bulldozers.

If President Bush meant what he said at the U.N. last month about creation of a seperate Palestinian State, then it seems to me that he should insist that Ol' Bloody Sharon should resign, immediately.

But destroying these building and their equipment reduces Arafat's ability to send hate 24 hours a day into everyone's homes. So it's a step forward to getting down to what needs to be done - killing thousands of Palestinians.

I hate to admit it, but I think you are correct. The current generation is fatally poisoned with hate towards the Israelis. The only cure is to start fresh by cutting out the cancer to prevent infection of those young enough who do not yet know hate.

I'm sure that's the intent...to wipe out the broadcasting of hate by the Palestinian Authority Television station...on the Middle East Research Institute's site, you can read a transcript of the leading Palestinian Imam being broadcast from morning devotional at the mosque, calling for the death of all jews.

Could be that the President forgot to mention that when the Palestinians get their "state", it should be carved out of, say, Jordan...There's also a tremendous amount of vacant land in Saudi that would be perfect...

Are the Israeli's just supposed to "play nice" with a group of people who are publicly sworn to their destruction?

Surely you jest!

He didn't say where the state would be started. I vote, the Gobi.

You have fallen into the trap set by "the media" as you fail to understand that each person is responsible for his or her actions. Ol' Bloody Sharon knows only how to destroy. His methods have only made people that he doesn't like more angry.

It is time for Ol'Bloody Sharon to resign, and let President George W. Bush implement his Peace Plan, as Pres. Bush outlined it at the U. N. last month.

Not worth the time. Some people can't distinguish between Sharon's self-defense and PLO terror.
