More than 100 injured in blasts near city's former central bus station, Israeli attack helicopters fire at target in Gaza City
Not to worry. When we're done, it will all be Israel's fault and this will serve as further proof Israel needs to negotiate in a way that makes the Palestinians hapy.
The President generally gets asked to "do something" in these situations. He should start by asking Mr. Arafat if there is any peace deal whose terms don't include the eventual end of Israel that he and his Jihad buddies should get behind.
I still think U.Thant has proposed the only reasonable solution for giving the Palestinian people both a state and incentive not to continue the terrorism in hope of getting more:
The Palestinians formally get control of all 2,165 square miles of the West Bank, with full autonomy, open borders, and if it turns out that there are any civil rights that come with being citizens of an Arab nation, they can have those too. It's up to them. No questions asked.(not sure if UThant is still functional, the link where TurkeyBlog first posted is here)
In return, the Israelis get to take back 20 square miles of land every time an Israeli dies at the hands of a Palestinian. No questions asked.
