In a scenario reminiscent of those surrounding the separation fence and the seam line issues, Israel's reaction to the most recent spate of suicide bombings seems sluggish and strange. Despite several operational decisions by the cabinet and the various branches of the security services, the whole system - defense and legislative - is moving at a painfully slow pace, as if the war against this phenomenon is only a recent development.

Everyone is acting as if suicide bombings only started a few weeks ago. Even though the suicide bomber has been with us for years, Israeli officials are busy with their tiresome discussion about which special measures are needed in this war. Certain decisions have been made, but the foot-dragging - caused by legal wrangling that is more in keeping with white-collar criminals, and not decisions that affect the outcome of a war that Israel is losing - is typical of such cumbersome institutions.

What better example could there be of this than the deliberations over the expulsion to the Gaza Strip of the three Palestinians who aided their relatives in carrying out suicide attacks. Among the three is a woman who sewed the explosive belt her brother wore when he carried out his attack. The excuse for this legal dilly-dallying is that the decision has to be able to stand the test of the High Court. It took Israel weeks before it finally got around to demolishing the homes of suicide bombers whose families helped them carry out their mission and subsequently received handsome rewards from Iraq.

After thorough discussions, held recently among a forum of high-ranking security officials, it was decided to carry out a series of steps in response to suicide attacks, in addition to the regular response procedures. These steps include the arrest of religious preachers and others inciters encouraging suicide bombers; preventing the payment of Iraqi 'compensation' to the bombers' families; closing any 'charitable organization,' including those run by Israeli Arabs, that pay money to bombers' families; closing radio stations that encourage the phenomenon; exiling those supporting suicide bombings and more.

Of all these steps - and several others that were approved by the cabinet - very few have been carried out. And it is only in the past three days that the emphasis has been placed in house demolitions.

Until now, the main brunt of the war has been borne by the Shin Bet security service, with the emphasis on intelligence work, strategic assassinations and widespread arrests. The IDF was nothing more than a contractor, while the police carried out an important role in the defensive actions. The legal and economic systems stood by the side or, at best, were passive partners.

Few seem to remember that the current wave of suicide terrorism began soon after the Oslo accords, but it has now reached its peak during the current intifada. It took us far too many months to realize that the Palestinians saw the suicide bomber as a strategic weapon. The moral considerations were pushed completely aside when leading Muslim clerics gave their support to this form of warfare, despite its purpose being the deliberate and indiscriminate injury of non-combatant civilians, the elderly and the very young, in an attempt to break the enemy's national spirit.

After the Islamic Jihad adopted the suicide bombing as a means of striking against all non-believers, and not just Israel, it became easy for the secular stream of the Palestinian national movement - Fatah, Tanzim, the Popular Front and the Democratic Front - to jump on board the suicide express. The Fatah boasts the second highest number of suicide bombers, second only to Hamas, while the Islamic Jihad is third.

Last week's bombing at the university in Jerusalem, in which five U.S. citizens were killed, earned high praise in secular Syria, which called it heroic, since it targeted a Zionist military stronghold. This was in keeping with President Bashar Assad's saying after an attack at the Meggido junction, that there were no soldiers or civilians in Israel - that everyone was a member of the IDF.

Actually it is time to get serious and deal with people like you ze,ev.
Your rantings might have fooled some people a couple of years ago .. but since sept.11 more people have actually read the history of middle east area instead of taking the words of the propaganda machine that you subscribe to ...
People know what kind of OFFER was really made by barak .. also unbiased reader knows HOW SHARON STARTED this second intifada by that shamefull walk he took among the second holliest shrine for 1.2 billion people , ME INCLUDED!!!
Indeed one does not have to spend a life of research to realize the number of new settlments that have been built in RAPED land AFTER the OSLO accord gave israel a chance to get MORE out side money invested in palestinian property!!!
Your position is becoming increasingly hard to defend ... and your pethetic trial to suggest that it is 'islamic extermism' that is causing this legetimate though 'missguided' SELF DEFENSE is really idiotic ... !!
To try to appeal to the lowest common denominator of people which is fear of the different cultures ... is exactly what nazi germany used to abuse your people .. I assume jews are your people eventhoug I am begining to associate israel not with jews but with talmud!!!
So sure go on justifying mass punishment and blowing the horn of likudthugs .. my only comfort is that you and every one who beleived in that false idol of israel will end up paying even a heavier price than we!!!
It is just a shame that civilians on both sides are paying with their lives as aresult of people like you thinking they are smarter tn everyone else!!!

Dear Mr. Doo-Doo:

Ze'ev's post was very well thought out. You did not address any of the issues he brought up except to completely dismiss him as an evil proponent of propoganda.
What's to make the rest of us think that you are right or that you are not what you describe?

Since 9-11 many of us have indeed opened our eyes. We had no idea what Israel had been contending with all these years. Your beloved terrorists disgust me.

Dar sir/Madam:
I would strongly suggest that you check if it is your eyes that were opened or some other hole on your body ....
-''as if the war against this phenomenon'' calling the second intifada a phenomenon reduces the actions of those freedom fighters into a phenomenon .. allowing later credit for extreme relegious beleifs to be the cause NOT THE OCCUPATION and not the DESPAIR that these people are born into .. this might be good to swallow on fox news among one of the feverish anto muslim campagn but not on MER!
- 'the deliberations over the expulsion to the Gaza Strip of the three Palestinians who aided their relatives in carrying out suicide attacks' the author just gave a judgement of guilt !!! he autopsied the operation of bomb making and decided who did what !!! indeed he has to be GOD to be that accurate!with the result of deporting people off their lanbecause of actions of their ken!
-'After thorough discussions, held recently among a forum of high-ranking security officials, it was decided to carry out a series of steps in response to suicide attacks, in addition to the regular response procedures.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE FACISM OF THE ABOVE I CAN NOT HELP YOU!!

-'Few seem to remember that the current wave of suicide terrorism began soon after the Oslo accords,' as if you do not know already ... but for the retarded among us let us post some time line!!!

28 August 2001
Israeli troops move into the West Bank town of Beit Jala, near the southern outskirts of Jerusalem. The Israeli government says its forces would remain for 'as long as it is needed'. The incursion caps four days of bloody attacks and reprisals in which eight Israelis and six Palestinians were killed. The US and Britain strongly condemn the Israeli action.

29 August 2001
Israel and the Palestinians reach a tentative ceasefire agreement in the West Bank town of Beit Jala , and Israel says it might withdraw its forces if the truce holds for several hours. The day began with fierce gun battles in the town and the adjacent Palestinian refugee camp of Aida, which left 13 Palestinians wounded, two of them seriously.

1 September 2001
An aide to the Gaza Strip intelligence chief is killed by a bomb under the seat of his car. Palestinian officials accuse Israel of ordering the assassination. Colonel Taiseer Khatab, who was in his early fifties, was driving to his office in north Gaza. Two other people were wounded.

4 September 2001
A suicide bomber kills himself and injured 20 others in an attack near a school in Jerusalem. Witnesses say he was disguised as an observant Jew and spoke to two policemen, who had asked to see his ID, seconds before the blast. The bomber's head rolled into the grounds of the Lycee Francais, a French-language school.

7 September 2001
Israel is poised to rewrite the map of the West Bank by banning Palestinians from a swathe of land next to the green line that divides the occupied territories from the Jewish state. Under the plans, Palestinians will be barred from approaching the Green Line unless they hold a pass from Israeli authorities. Those who disobey - especially at night when a curfew would be in place - could be shot.

9 September 2001
A middle-aged man from Galilee carries out the first suicide attack by an Arab citizen of the Jewish state yesterday, on a day of bombings, drive-by shootings and helicopter gunship strikes. Eight people are killed in three separate attacks within the space of five hours. The intifada death toll now stands at more than 750, in less than a year.

11 September 2001
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks stall as Israel sends tanks into Palestinian territory in the West Bank. Two dozen Israeli tanks take up positions outside the town of Jenin and an adjacent refugee camp, which Israel claims is the source of recent suicide bomb attacks.

On September 11, suicide bombers in hijacked airliners attacked the eastern seaboard of the United States, destroying the World Trade Centre and part of the Pentagon. Comprehensive coverage of the atrocities and their aftermath can be found on our range of special reports:

12 September 2001
Israeli tanks enter the desert town of Jericho in the second invasion of a Palestinian-ruled town in 48 hours. The Jericho operation comes hours after fierce gun battles in the northern town of Jenin, where at least seven Palestinians, including a young girl, were killed. It was the worst bloodshed for several weeks. Palestinian officals say the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, is exploiting the fact that the international community is focusing on the aftermath of the carnage in the US to use ever greater military force against the Palestinians.

15 September 2001
Israeli forces make a major incursion into the Gaza Strip. Helicopters fire missiles into a Palestinian security compound in Gaza City, and also hit a security position in the Nisart refugee camp just outside the city. The Israeli forces also fire ground-to-ground missiles into a police station in Rafah, a town at the southern end of Gaza on the border with Egypt. In other violence in Gaza, two Palestinians are killed in a clash between Israeli tanks and Palestinian gunmen at Khan Younis.

16 September 2001
Israel becomes as an early stumbling block to Washington's plans to recruit Arab states to a broad war coalition as the prime minister, Ariel Sharon, rebuffs US calls for ceasefire talks, and orders the third invasion of a Palestinian-ruled city - Ramallah - in less than a week. European countries, including Britain, fear that Israel is using the international focus on events in the US as a cover for punitive actions against the Palestinians that contravene international law.

17 September 2001
Israel's prime minister, Ariel Sharon, defies US pressure to hold ceasefire talks with the Palestinians, saying he will not sacrifice national interests for Washington's desire to forge a broad war coalition. In one of a series of interviews conveying the same message, Mr Sharon told the Jerusalem Post yesterday: 'I have made it clear to the administration as well as to a list of countries in Europe, that while stability in the Middle East is important to them, and is very important to Israel, we will not pay the price for that stability. We will simply not pay it.'

18 September 2001
The Israeli army says it has been ordered to withdraw from areas in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that are supposed to be under full Palestinian control. The order was given after the Palestinian president, Yasser Arafat, reaffirmed his commitment to a ceasefire and announced the unprecedented step of ordering his security forces not to fire on Israeli troops even in self-defence. Both sides are responding enormous pressure from Washington.

The ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians suffers another setback today as Israel cancels a meeting between its foreign minister, Shimon Peres, and the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

September 25 2001
The Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, is to meet the foreign secretary, Jack Straw, following a 15-minute phone call between Mr Sharon and the prime minister, Tony Blair. Mr Sharon had earlier called off the meeting because of remarks Mr Straw made in an article for an Iranian newspaper.

September 26 2001
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agree on a series of confidence-building measures aimed at ending a year of fighting. The deal comes after the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, finally succumbs to international - particularly US - pressure and allows high level ceasefire talks to proceed. The fragility of the deal is immediately underscored by a bomb attack on an Israeli army outpost and the killing of two Palestinians.

Dear Ze've and VISITOR, did you two Jewish low lives take a wrong turn at the railroad crossing?

You seem to have lost your way and ended up at the MER pro-Palestinian site by mistake, ooops!

better be careful suckers because the members here have been looking for some Jewish arse to chew on for weeks!

I mean, you don't think you Zionist blood sucking parasite LEECHES can continue to suck out the Palestinian's blood and remain unscathed, do you?

The entire world hates you, the MER people hate you--and aften, I am told you bast***d's even hate yourselves, oh my!

Better scram JEWZies, I hear the Israeli city bus lines in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa are hiring replacement BUS DRIVERS! :)))

Re: ANTI-DOODOO (wow, what an attack dog--good work lil doggie!) goes after the Zionist trespassers on MER like a Doberman Pincher!

But alas, you goofed on your post ANTI: 'October 4 2001, A passenger jet flying from Israel to Siberia explodes in midair today before crashing into the Black sea coast off Russia, killing at least 76 people on board.

TAC: Actually the plane was shot down by a Khzak Russian designed AA10 anti-Jew long range anti-aircraft missile.

Striking the plane full of Zionist zealots headed home to rile up the natives and try and talk them into going to Israel to raise hell and displace more Palestinian's.

Fortunately, the 'bagal' detector on board the missile's computer sensed that there were low life Zionist thugs on board and went far beyond its normal 100km effective kill range to land those suckers into the Caspian sea!

Guess, there's a dozen or two Palestinian families that won't be losing their homes huh VISITOR?

Which Came First - Terrorism or 'Occupation'?
Major Arab Terrorist Attacks against Israelis Prior to the 1967 Six-Day War

Jerusalem, 20 March 2002

Palestinian and Arab spokesmen commonly claim that the recent Palestinian terrorism is the result of the Israeli 'occupation' of the West Bank and Gaza, adding that the violence will cease only when the 'occupation' is ended.

Despite this claim, it should be recalled that the many Palestinian and Arab rejectionist factions (such as the Hamas and the Hizbullah) repeatedly declare that even if Israel would fully withdraw from the territories they will continue their attacks, since they refute Israel's basic right to exist.

More importantly, however, the basic premise of the Palestinian claim - that the 'occupation' causes terrorism - is historically flawed. Arab and Palestinian terrorism against Israel existed prior to the beginning of Israeli control over the West Bank and Gaza as a result of the Six Day War of June 1967, and even prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948.

For example, Arab terrorism was rampant during wave of anti-Jewish riots in 1920-21 (which was characterized by the brutal murder in Jaffa of the prominent Jewish author Y. Brenner), during the 'Disturbances' of 1929 (which included the massacre of the Jewish community in Hebron), during the Arab Revolt of 1936-39, and in many other recorded incidents of wholesale anti-Jewish Arab violence throughout the pre-state period.

The Palestinian terrorism campaign was stepped-up on the eve of the UN Partition Resolution of November 1947, and led to the joint Arab invasion of 1948-49 which delineated the boundaries of the newly established State of Israel.

Indeed, this deplorable violence can be traced back to the beginning of the renewed Jewish settlement of the Land of Israel over a century ago.

After the War of Independence, Arab terrorism expanded in scope. In 1952, when 'fedayeen' terrorist border incursions reached their height, there were about 3,000 incidents of cross-border violence, extending from the malicious destruction of property to the brutal murder of civilians. In the years 1951-1955, 503 Israelis were killed by Arab terrorists infiltrating from Jordan, 358 were killed in attacks from Egypt, and 61 were killed in attacks originating from Syria and Lebanon. This anti-Israeli violence encompassed both frontier settlements and population centers, and was perpetrated, for the most part, against innocent civilians, most of them new immigrants.

In conclusion, the oft-repeated Arab claim that the Israeli 'occupation' is somehow to blame for the Palestinian terrorism is nothing more than an empty retort, repudiated by the facts, and disproved by a century of historical reality.

The following is a partial list of documented acts of Arab terrorism, all occurring prior to the beginning of the Israeli administration of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967:

The Jews ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948. With terrorm, murders, home demolitions, etc... This PRE-cedes any Palestinian retaliations... ININ.net ... The refugees were not allowed to return to their homes & properties... Yje Isdrarelis then STOLE them and LOOTED what they could... palestineremembered.com .. They drove the residents of Haffa into the Mediterranean Sea... [ Note this Israeli tactic... when they commit a crime, they blame their victims of doing the very crimes they themselves commit !!!.... So they accuse the Palestinians of trying to drive them into the sea... when that is exactly what hey did to them !!! ]... the Palestinians had to escape on boats...the rest escaped to found the refugee camp of Jenin... Only to be massacred again in April 2002... See the history of Israeli Massacres... palestinehistory.com .... the original expulsion of the Palestinians is called the Great Nakba... alnakba.org ..... One village's story is found at deiryassin.org ...

Hey Sweet Caroline; you're 'so good' at what you do--so could you PLEASE work me up a list of the 28,000 murdered, maimed, wounded and the 500,000 left homeless during Israel's invasion of Lebanon, summer of 1982? ( You can do the Sabra & Shatila list next year, ya hear? ).

Meanwhile, I'll give you the 'rest of the year on this project,' OK?

TheAZCowBoy,
