Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Unfortunately for both Hamas and the PLO, they both rather like Al-Qaeda.

Good. Remove the mask.

Once a self-proclaimed terrorist group officially takes over the PA (as opposed to the "Oh, we renounced violence at Oslo" PLO) then Israel has every right to treat the PA like we treated Afghanistan and to deal with Hamas and Hezbollah like we do with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

Hopefully, Hamas will use our Iraq intervention as its cue to topple Arafat. The US and Israel in the Middle East, both with their gloves off. It's a good thing.

This may turn out to be a good thing.

I don't believe some Palestinian leaders are going to be happy about this. If I am right, we might see a moderate leadership emerge. If I am wrong, it pretty much verifies what folks have thought all along.

The policies of Hamas and one other group in the Palestinian state have seen the standard of living plumet since they implemented a policy of bombing across Israel two years ago.

As I have said before. Israel should adopt a shoot on sight policy for Hamas leaders.

The terrorists are going after each other now? I love it. They know that their organizations are all going to begin crumbling, starting very soon.

As a matter of Islamic principle, Hamas does not recognize the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East, opposing Arafat's policy of creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Did I miss something? When did the PLO take out of their charter the destruction of Israel?

[PsyOp]

With any luck, they'll assasinate Arafat.

[lodwick]

Just perfect.

Hey, I'm all for it. And I'll vote for Al Sharpton if he runs too ! < /sarcasm >

If nothing else - just like the clinton's - it's for the children...

Israelis are taking the image at face value
