Israel is exercising its right to self-defense and planning to attack some of the Palestinian terrorist groups.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon approved a series of military strikes against Palestinian militants in response to a suicide bombing that killed 18 people in Jerusalem, a senior security source said on Wednesday.The source said the army operations, which could begin as early as Wednesday night and last several days, would go ahead regardless of Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas’s order for security services to arrest militants behind the bombing.
Good, but not good enough. The typical cycle in this situation seems to be continuing: Palestinians terrorize Israeli’s, Israeli’s retaliate, Palestinians “promise” not to attack again, Israeli’s agree to negotiate (while under severe pressure from the U.S. to do so), Palestinians terrorize Israeli’s, cycle continues. It is my firm belief that the Palestinian terrorist groups have absolutely no intention of peace with Israel, but rather, manipulate the peaceful hopes of the Israeli people in order to secure enough time to rebuild their terrorist forces and weapons so that they may strike again. The head of Islamic Jihad has openly admitted that this is the case. (Hat tip: Little Green Footballs)
The Israeli military needs to respond to this farce by completely dismantling ALL of the Palestinian terrorist organizations, including the government that supports them: The Palestinian Authority.
