In wake of Haifa attack, IDF troops enter Jenin, impose curfew.
For all the different "reactions", there are many more than
those excerpted.


---

Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Zevulun
Orlev (National Religious Party) said the
government should now carry out its previously
stated policy intention and deport Arafat.
Should Israel fail to do so, it would project
weakness and thereby encourage more terror
attacks, Orlev stated.

Minister of Science and Technology Eliezer
Sandberg (Shinui) also supported Arafat's
expulsion. Millions of Arabs and Jews in the
region wanted to live quietly, Sandberg said,
"whereas the terrorist, Arafat, derails any
prospect for genuine peace."

---

MK Yuri Stern (National Union) said that not
only Arafat, "but also all the other leaders of
the monstrous Palestinian Authority that was
created as a result of the Oslo accords," ought
to be removed.

For his part, Minister of Tourism Binyamin Elon,
a hard-line leader from the political right,
said that he opposed Arafat's expulsion. Such a
move would distract attention from the real
problem, claimed Elon, explaining that
immediate steps should be taken to "dismantle
the Palestinian Authority and to establish a
Palestinian state in Jordan."

1. Slug # 2
"Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat
condemned the attack and appealed to the
Quartet of international mediators - the United
States, the European Union, Russia and the
United Nations - "to exert every possible
effort in order to ensure de-escalation, and to
maintain the road map" peace plan."

Notice how hes says that after every palestinian
suicide attack??

Hey mr."thousands dead in jenin", why dont you
eliminate the terrorists and maybe someone would
actually take you seriously.

2. Sharon's crew say the same thing...
You have a problem with people condemning terrorist attacks?

btw, Erekat NEVER said that thousands died in Jenin, but you already know that because it's been pointed out to you so many times before. I'm just curious as to why you ignore facts when they don't suit yr purpose...

3. One might wonder ....
How many times must Israel invade Jenin and impose its will onto the arab population there before those arabs wise up and change their ways ????? ....

Isnt it SO effective when the IDF rattles into an arab town and displays its military superiority ? ...

Stops terroristic acts EVERY time ..... right ? ....

Unfortunately: the bromides of the Likud and their ilk will inflame the situation, and will bring no peace or solace to either side .... just as it never has in the past .....

Lets face it: ... Sharon OWNS Jenin, and has owned it for decades, ... yet the arabs still hate ..... they still want to demean themselves with the commission of vile acts agsint humanity ....

One might wonder: .. IF Sharon cannot stop these attacks from occurring, even with the might and awesome military power exhibited by Israel in the territories, then HOW can a weakling like Arafat ever do so ??? ....

This game of hatred and revenge has no winners ...... and is self-perpetuating ......

With these 'solutions', it will never end ......
