By all means, give 'em a state!
By all means, give 'em a state!
In a series of articles, I presented the main reasons for my opposition to creating a mew Arab state in Yesha. Subsequently, I posted from time to time addenda under the title "give 'em a state!", highlighting the kind of people to whom Bush is granting a state at Israel's expense (these pieces may be found by entering "give 'em a state", in quotation marks, in the search engine of IsraPundit, middle of right-hand column).
Today, I am posting below quotations from an article posted at the Chicago Sun-Times on Christmas eve. The article highlights not merely the lawless savages with whom one is dealing, but also the complicity of MainStreamMedia[TM](MSM).
It was midnight in the West Bank city of Ramallah where the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat spent the final years of his stormy life.
Out of nowhere, a squad of gunmen appeared in Manara Square with an unarmed 20-year old civilian in tow. They stood him up, took aim and opened fire. His bullet-riddled body was discovered at dawn by unfazed pedestrians.
Summary executions are par for the course of the so-called Palestinian Revolution. The victim this time was accused of informing on two members of Hamas and Fatah who were killed by Israeli troops in Betunya, a nearby town.
The Palestinian police, whose West Bank headquarters are in Ramallah, did not intervene when the suspect's death sentence was implemented without a preliminary trial or benefit of a defense attorney.
Nor did they show up in Kabatya, another Palestinian town, where a public execution was carried out a few months beforehand in the presence of a TV crew working for one of the American networks.
Neither of these stories made big news -- not in this country and certainly not abroad. There was a brief mention of the Ramallah shooting on Israel Radio, but not on local TV.
