B"H

I know it looks like things are terrible, because they are. But isn't this just more of that wretched Arafat cynically using his people as pawns in his death match with Israel?

And, if so, what does he want? I would venture to say that he is eager for the world to pity their suffering, and rush unconditionally to their aid. It will be hectic, and in the confusion, he can use whoever comes to "help" to provide the cover he needs to renew and escalate attacks on Israel. If Israel dares respond, the world will perceive it as "beating a man when he's down." If it doesn't respond, it will have to absorb even more casualties that it can't afford. Not mate, but a serious check.

So, yes, I think the "Palestinians" are suffering, but I believe it is being initiated and orchestrated by Arafat as a tactical maneuver in his diabolical war against Israel.

I don't know what that little lawn-troll-gone-berserk is on, but he will truly make the world a better place on leaving it, may that day be soon.
