By the way... why is it that some people say that only a few Palestinians want to hurt the Israeli's (justified by the occupation), while it's always "Israel" as a whole that gets blamed for the actions of it's army or settlers or Sharon? Not every Palestinian agrees with Hamas, nor every Israeli with Sharon.
As for this plan: It'd certainly be doing *something* instead of trying to slap yet another peace plan on the region, when we know beforehand that it simply will not work. How many times do you try to talk before you actually DO something? I'm not saying that killing Arafat is necessarily a good thing, nor even a wise thing to do, mind you.

No Dragonlich Im not happy; I wish the world was in a different place. I especially find it ironic that (according to their religion) two cultures that supposedly were born of the same father want to kill one another. I certainly hope there are Palestinians that dont agree with Hamas or Israelis that dont agree with Sharon; that means that maybe there is still a chance a small hope that one day they wont see one another as enemies; just people.
I think if Arafat is killed its going to open Pandoras box. Does Israel have the right to defend itself; ofcourse it does. Does it have have a right to exsist in a secure environment; who doesnt?
If it continues the same policy in reguards to allow Israeli expansion in land designated for the Palestinians can it or should it expect any thing different other than whats happening. Am I saying that I agree with either side destroying itself; no.
Yes I agree Geronimo was a terrorist; do you think he had any reason to resort to such tactics? and Why?
I know its a little late, but I have to appologize to everyone in the thread here. It seems I fell to my open trap once again. I promised myself I wouldnt post in threads about Israel / Palestine anymore and occasionally I still do. It would appear all I have to offer such threads is more friction and theres more than enough of that to go around. Everyone has access to whatever information they're looking for and dont need me force posting it. I respect everyone's views, and I hope someday things work out for everyone. Now that I've regrouped I'll repsectfully bow out of this thread.
