Who by fire, who by sword,
who by beast

Thoughtful and meaningful pause before the solemn prayers
of Yom Kippur to analyze just what it means for the
Israeli public to have experienced over 14,000 terror
incidents, with casualties primarily among the civilian
population: 619 killed by snipers, machine gun mad
infiltrators, booby traps, car bombs, homicide bombers,
knifings, lynches, with almost 5,000 people injured.

A feature by feature analysis of the nature of the
violence and the disturbingly disproportionate ratio
of female, child and juvenile deaths among Israelis
in the current Intifada, explainable by the deliberate
targeting of Israel's non-combatant, "soft belly"
of the population by Palestinian terrorists. Graphs
and Fig 2.9; 2.25-26.
Palestinian deaths are, by contrast, primarily among
combatants and males, also some children over age
11 encouraged into the arena of conflict. Graphs and
Fig 2.8; 2.28.
Israeli victims don't count
at State

Thorough and well-referenced analysis of the State
Department's annual report on Terrorism for 2001,
with regard to the unique standards applied to mentions
of terrorism in Israel and terror organizations in
the PA. It's a whitewash and does little to address
the terror threats of today. It shows the lack of
coordination between what President Bush is saying
and what State is willing to publish.
Only 56 of the 191 terror attacks in 2001 are listed
as having occured, primarily where foreign nationals
were involved - a criterion not applied for incidents
in other countries, such as India. MK Minister Zeevi's
assassination is not featured.
Karine A arms were only "apparently bound for
militants" in the West Bank and Gaza, despite
the Captain's known position in the PA and other proof;
it ignores the documented official budget of the Al
Aksa martyrs brigade and lists the sources of finance
as unknown; it downplays the Tanzim, which has a documented
budget of $200,000 a month, as loosely organized local
cells
They are the product of institutionally
indoctrinated hatred of the West or of Jews

Sceptical and scathing review of supposed "reason and
even-handedness" of media and academics in seeking
justification of terrorist motivations, even after
Sept. 11, rather than examine indoctrinated hatred
(with examples). Israel takes the blame for legitimate
self-defense, while the PA greatly intensifies terror
- which augurs badly for the free world, too.
Why Arafat?

Wanton slaughter of Christians continues at Arafat's
orders; US support gives him credence, while contributions
maintain this regime of persecution & terror.

Call to denounce suicide bombing. Exposes it as twisted
logic, a danger to free societies; its continuation
is an abdication of leadership responsibility to Palestinian
citizens by Arafat & the PA..

NB: Expect heavy text ratio to visuals. "According
to documents found in Arafat's headquarters by the
IDF, Arafat personally approved funding to various
terrorists, in his own handwriting and signature."
Suicidal Lies

Palestinians are testing a new form of warfare - not
acting 'out of desperation"' - a 'strategic choice'
to destroy. Israel 'needs to deliver' a blow; US should
stand strong on terror, sympathizers and talks.
Arafat's War

The Wall Street Journal Saturday, March 30, 2002
http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=105001849
Incitement creates & feeds menace of suicide bombers
as a culture; Arafat and the PA laud affliction &
prone radicalism. Arafat does not govern or build,
except a war instrument to hurt and combat Israel.
