An insight into Pal./Arab truth squad work:
Lesson One: You can't reasonably expect a people under military occupation to guarantee the security of the occupying forces. Yet since the peace process began in 1993, Israel has insisted, and the world has gone along, that the Palestinian Authority must "crack down on terrorism" while Israel is free to colonize and undertake "incursions."
For instance: The week before Rice's visit, the Israeli Defence Forces carried out 109 searches in the West Bank -- the UN says the IDF averages 105 a week. The incursions actually increased in the Jenin governorate. Rice touts Jenin as an American success story in economic and security terms.
Also last week: A 67-year-old man was killed in the West Bank, and six Palestinians were killed in an IDF incursion in central Gaza that sparked fierce retaliation. The ceasefire Israel and Hamas negotiated in June through Egypt's good offices is still holding - but it is fraying.
That was from someone I've quoted from previously, Nadia Hijab, a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies in Washington D.C.
Let's go over that.
You can't reasonably expect a people under military occupation to guarantee the security of the occupying forces.
So why are 90% of the victims of Arab terror civilians? Why are 95% of the targets buses, restaurants, schools and cars? Why are 90% of the locations of all those acts in pre-1967 Israel? And why did Fatah begin its operation in January 1965, two and a half years before "Palestine was occcupied"? Is it reasonable to kill babies and children?
Yet since the peace process began in 1993,
The peace process started in 1947 when Israel accepted a partition (we'll skip the 1922-23 Partition (Jordan) and the 1937-38 Peel & Woodhead Commission Partition plans) and the Arabs didn't and after 1967 when Israel offered to yield on all but Jerusalem, and the Begin Autonomy Proposals and Madrid - all rejected by Arabs and met with terror, not resistance.
Israel has insisted, and the world has gone along, that the Palestinian Authority must "crack down on terrorism" while Israel is free to colonize and undertake "incursions."
Actually, that sounds fair. If you don't keep to a bargain, why should we? Can Arabs continue to colonize Israel and we Jews can't live in our homeland?
... The incursions actually increased in the Jenin governorate. Rice touts Jenin as an American success story in economic and security terms.
My point exactly. Those American trained security personnel are worth next-to-nothing.
...and six Palestinians were killed in an IDF incursion in central Gaza that sparked fierce retaliation.
That raid was to destroy a tunnel to be used to kidnap more soldiers.
The ceasefire Israel and Hamas negotiated in June through Egypt's good offices is still holding - but it is fraying
Because of Hamas's encouragement and sponsorship of terror.
That wasn't too hard to demolish.
But I bet you that Condi Rice thinks sort of like this
