1. JERUSALEM NIGHT OUT
By Naomi Ragen - August 20, 2003=20
Let's go out to dinner tonight, my husband suggested about five =
p.m. yesterday, Tuesday, August 19,2003. Great, I told him. I've been =
stuck in the house all day working on my book. Making dinner seemed like =
mission impossible.=20
I wanted to go someplace new, so I went to a website listing all =
Jerusalem's kosher restaurants and found this little French place in the =
center of town I'd never been to before. I called to find out if they =
had a security guard, and then, while I was on the phone, asked if I =
needed to make reservations. Actually, I did. "We've only got one table =
available, out on the patio," the staff told me. "Otherwise, we are =
booked for the whole evening." And I thought, wow, after all the =
restaurants in town center have been going out of business after two =
years of intifadah, this place must be something special.=20
Even before we parked our car, I saw it. Downtown Jerusalem was =
packed with people. Families out for a stroll. Holiday-makers on tours. =
People going to the downtown food festivals. The open air flea markets =
were re-opened, and full of buyers. I couldn't believe my eyes. Just a =
year ago, Jerusalem was a ghost town. It was almost the feeling of a =
rebirth, I thought. People throwing off their fears, beginning to live =
again.=20
We sat down to eat about ten to eight. The food was great. The =
service wonderful. Lovely antipasti, and foie gras with pears, served on =
a little table out in a vine-covered courtyard. It was quiet and pretty. =
And I thought how fortunate this little place had weathered the terrible =
days when no one came to Jerusalem.=20
We finished about ten past nine, and decided to join the milling =
crowds enjoying the summer evening. As we walked down Rechov Rivlin and =
reached Jaffa Road, I didn't suspect anything as I saw the young boys =
who ran down the street. Youngsters letting off steam, I thought. Then I =
saw the police cars, and overheard someone say: Pigua. Terrorist attack. =
All at once, I heard the sirens. More crowds of people were =
gathered on corners, listening to car radios. Someone said "Shmuel =
HaNavi street." It was a street in the heart of Jerusalem's ultra =
Orthodox neighborhood.=20
Suddenly, the lively street scene turned almost surrealistic. =
People were still sitting in outdoor cafes, smiling and laughing, while =
streets away children lay burnt and dying. There were no loudspeakers, =
and if you weren't paying attention, you could keep on telling yourself =
that everything was the same; a lovely summer evening in Jerusalem.=20
We headed back to the car, and put on the radio. A double bus, =
standing room only, packed with religious families coming back from a =
visit to the Western Wall, blown to bits. It had just happened.=20
We headed home, wanting to see the television reports. As I opened =
the door, I called out my son's name. But he didn't answer. He hadn't =
said he was going out. He probably hadn't heard me. I walked up the =
steps. His room was empty. My stomach lurched. My God, where was my son! =
But soon I heard his voice from another part of the house. And I =
thought of all the families going through the same thing with different =
results.=20
I watched the television reports, the bloodied faces of crying =
children. The grandmother led from the carnage. The bodies lying in the =
streets. The tiny little girl on her back as medics worked over her....=20
And I thought of the people still sitting in coffee houses and =
restaurants all over Israel, and all over the world, still trying to =
pretend that we are at peace, or we are in some kind of peace process, =
or that we have people to speak to among Muslim Palestinians, or Muslims =
in general, who are in a position of power who actually want to reach a =
peaceful compromise on any subject. And I thought of all the months our =
government has allowed itself to give in to American pressure to abandon =
its war on terror, to let out prisoners, hand over security control in =
the West Bank and Gaza, allow terrorist organizations to bring in more =
and better weapons, train more bombers, in a process of self-delusion =
that looked at every concession as a step towards some positive goal. I =
thought of all these things which had led, inevitably, to that tiny girl =
lying bloodied in the street fighting for her young life.=20
And I thought of myself, as a citizen in a democracy, and how =
tired I was of fighting her enemies and her own government, and most of =
her own press, and the country of her birth --the greatest democracy and =
lover of freedom in the world today, the United States-- all of whom =
have been totally wrong every step of the way in facing a threat to =
mankind that can only be solved by force of arms with useless words, and =
self-destructive appeasement.=20
I thought, I'm to blame for that little girl. I shouldn't have =
been going out to dinner. I should have been standing with picket signs =
outside the home of my Prime Minister, my government, the American =
Embassy, telling them that the lives of the people of Israel were not a =
bargaining chip. And that that little girl's life, her blood, is on all =
our heads. I should have been screaming: anyone who doesn't fight terror =
100% of the time, is a collaborator in the death of victims of terror.=20
That very same day, I had watched television footage of a =
terrorist bomb as it blew up the head of the UN delegation in Baghdad. I =
had heard UN spokesmen say, finally, after two years of having them blow =
up Bar Mitzvahs, and discos and Seder nights:" terrorists know no =
boundaries."=20
Those of us who wish to rid the world of terror should learn from =
our enemies. Our opposition to terrorism, to leaders of the free world =
that accommodate it, to an indifferent public that has learned to =
tolerate the deaths of others by it, should also know no boundaries. We =
are not allowed to get tired, to take time off. We need to be as =
relentless and uncompromising and single-minded and unmerciful and =
determined as Hamas, and Islamic Jihad. We need to fight for our lives =
now, so that our children will not have to fight for theirs in the =
middle of the street beneath the ministering hands of medics as their =
blood washes the road.=20

2. JUST ANOTHER ARAFAT?
Wall Street Journal Editorial - August 21, 2003=20
Abbas has to choose between terror and respectability.
Tuesday night's suicide bombings in Israel powerfully demonstrated =
the failure of the current strategy of Palestinian Prime Minister =
Mahmoud Abbas in implementing the road map. Unfortunately it had to take =
the death of 20 Israelis, and the injury of more than 100 others, to =
prove the point.
Central to the first stage of the road map is the requirement that =
the Palestinians dismantle their terrorist organizations. Mr. Abbas =
believed he could succeed in disarming them through negotiation, rather =
than force, and heralded a three-month cease-fire declared by the =
terrorists in June as a sign of his progress. Tuesday night (the second =
major attack in violation of the cease-fire) came ironically as Islamic =
Jihad leaders were meeting with Mr. Abbas to discuss their cease-fire. =
Islamic Jihad, along with Hamas, claimed responsibility for the killings =
(although Hamas incredibly denied the cease-fire was over).=20
But the terrorists, it is now clear, merely used the cease-fire as =
an opportunity to re-arm and re-train for further attacks on Israel. It =
was always unrealistic of Mr. Abbas to believe that he could suddenly =
persuade terrorists dedicated to the destruction of the state of Israel =
to lay down their arms and accept a two-state solution. These =
organizations, like al Qaeda, aim to fight until the total destruction =
of their enemy. The only response is to destroy them first. The White =
House appears to have accepted that the strategy the U.S. is using =
toward al Qaeda is also needed here. As Sean McCormack, the White House =
National Security Council spokesman, put it in the wake of the bombing, =
"We call upon the Palestinian Authority to act to dismantle terrorist =
networks."=20
The Palestinian Prime Minister and his security chief Mohammed =
Dahlan must now decide what they want--a Palestinian entity perpetually =
at war with Israel, or an internationally recognized state free to build =
its future. The silent majority of Palestinians want a normal life, but =
the terrorists make it impossible. Messrs. Abbas and Dahlan have shown =
some inclination to restrain terror, but Tuesday's bombing demonstrates =
they have a long way to go.=20
It also won't be easy: One reason for their reluctance to crack =
down is that they still only control a fraction of the entire =
Palestinian security forces. The majority are still in the hands of =
Yasser Arafat, who is working hard to blow up the road map. A genuine =
crackdown would mean some bloody scenes, and perhaps even a Palestinian =
civil war.=20
Mr. Abbas has certainly been around Arafat enough to understand =
his old ally's game. Mr. Abbas was with Arafat at the 1993 Oslo Peace =
Accords where, like the current road map, the Palestinians were given =
control of land and in return promised to dismantle the terrorist =
networks. But instead Arafat rejected Ehud Barak's generous peace offer, =
launching the intifada against Israel and giving financial and military =
support to the terrorists.=20
Like his long-time benefactor, Mr. Abbas speaks of "living in =
peace with Israel" and "dismantling terror." Arafat had a habit of then =
switching into Arabic and encouraging the suicide bombers in their =
deadly work, which was financed by Arafat's Palestinian Authority. So =
far Mr. Abbas has been more consistent. But he cannot straddle the =
worlds of jihad and international respectability.=20
For the first time in years, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's =
regime, the refusal to deal with Arafat and the presence of a U.S. =
President committed to fighting terrorism have produced a glimmer of =
hope that the Israeli-Palestinian question can be resolved. Mr. Abbas =
has a chance to turn Palestinians away from terror and lead his people =
to statehood in peace with Israel. To do that, however, he must forcibly =
disarm these terrorists. If he doesn't, Israel has a responsibility to =
its citizens to do it instead.=20

3. REJOICING OVER JEWISH BLOOD
By David Bedein - FrontPageMagazine.com - August 21, 2003=20
Mainstream media outlets are reporting that Abu Mazen condemns the =
August 19th bus Arab terror massacre, conveying the impression that the =
PA condemns the massacre.=20
However, most significantly, the Arabic language official =
Palestinian Authority Radio, Palestinian Authority TV and Palestinian =
Authority newspapers did not carry any real condemnation from Abu Mazen =
or any other official from the Palestinian Authority yesterday.=20
Dr. Michael Widlanski, who recently completed his Ph.D. on the =
subject of the Palestinian Authority media, and who was formerly a =
reporter for the Israel bureau of The New York Times and the bureau =
chief of The Atlanta Constitution, listened to and recorded the radio =
newscasts of the PA radio station on the day following the bus massacre. =
The PA radio anchor led newscasts throughout the day by saying =
that "The Israelis are describing yesterday's operation as a terrorist =
attack." He then went on with other news of the day.=20
Dr. Aaron Lerner, the director of IMRA news agency, =
www.imra.org.il, asked Dr. Widlanski to comment on the reaction of the =
PA to the bus bombing yesterday in Jerusalem. The following are his =
observations: "If the Palestinian Authority, or as they term themselves, =
the Palestinian leadership, had any intention to convey a message of =
real condemnation of these attacks, they would call them attacks."=20
The bombing of the bus yesterday is universally termed in the =
Palestinian press "amaliyya al Quds" - "the Jerusalem operation," rather =
than as an "attack" or a "terroristic attack." By the way, the "peace =
process" is also termed the "peace operation" by the Palestinian media.=20
The "condemnation" broadcast by Voice of Palestine radio never =
condemned the perpetrators. Interestingly, the reports all act as if the =
identity of the attacker is not known.=20
It should also be noted that the reports did not begin with the =
news of the attack and its "condemnation". They opened with comments =
about the "horrible" things that the Israelis were doing (i.e. the =
"racist fence"). And yesterday morning the top story was the Israelis =
"invading" the Temple Mount.=20
Voice of Palestine also ran very cheerful music after the bus =
attack - as they did after the recent Rosh Ha'ayin/Ariel attacks. It was =
unusually light music - as they would play on a holiday.=20
Meanwhile, Al Quds, the official newspaper of the Palestinian =
Authority, also ran an interesting editorial cartoon - two colored star =
bursts going off before cameras labeled Baghdad and Jerusalem."=20
The time has come for the press to learn from the mistakes of the =
Oslo process.=20
For almost a decade, the media has tended to mislead the public by =
ignoring the Arabic language broadcasts and telecasts of the official =
Palestinian Authority media, whose radio news content is directly =
controlled by Arafat and Abu Mazen.=20
Even the Jewish Telegraphic Agency fell into the trap, when the =
JTA"s Gil Sedan reported in his dispatch of August 20th that Abu Mazen =
"vehemently condemned the bombing, [and] reportedly ordered PA security =
services to arrest those responsible." Sedan, who knows Arabic, could =
very easily have checked with the Arabic language PA TV, PA radio and PA =
newspapers, where he would have heard an entirely different message from =
the Palestinian Authority.=20
What a totalitarian entity communicates for foreign consumption =
means very little. What matters is what that entity communicates to its =
own people in its own language. And what the PA is communicating bodes a =
dangerous future for innocent Israelis.=20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-
4. JERUSALEM AND BAGHDAD CARNAGE
We should all force ourselves to read the first-person accounts in =
the morning newspapers of the carnage in Jerusalem and Baghdad. As =
horrifying as the descriptions are of broken bones, ripped flesh and =
spilled blood, the reality they represent could help shatter the myths =
that still drive the world's response, including that of the United =
States, to Islamic jihad.=20
The Jerusalem bombing took place on a bus selected specifically =
because it was packed with children.=20
Jerusalem hospitals, several of which I have visited in the last =
year, were overwhelmed last night with victims, many of them infants and =
toddlers.=20
The bomber, a school teacher, was a Palestinian jihadist. A video =
tape released by Hamas showed him holding the Koran in one hand and a =
machine gun in the other. His wife released a statement shortly after =
the bombing praising his martyrdom. She was proud her husband had killed =
children - after all they were only Jews.=20
When reports of the dead children reached an Israeli prison, the =
inmates "applauded joyously and passed out candy" when they heard the =
news. These are the kind of men our leaders have been pressuring Israel =
to release from prison as a "peace gesture" to keep the "sacred" Road =
Map moving forward.=20
This is the mindset of the people who will be part of the =
Palestinian state that is supposed to exist side by side in peace with =
Israel.=20
An unnamed "top official" in the Administration is quoted this =
morning as saying there is no panic over the bombing because, "Everyone =
understands there are going to be setbacks the closer we get to a true =
political solution."=20
Setbacks?=20
Easy to say when you are sitting in a plush office in Washington, =
D.C. and when it is not your children being scrapped off the sidewalk.=20
The Baghdad slaughter received most of the attention in the media =
this morning.=20
As I write, no group has yet claimed credit but suspicions center =
on Ansar al-Islam, a terrorist group with ties to Al Qaeda. Its members =
and other jihadists have been streaming across the border from Iran, =
Syria and Palestinian areas in recent weeks.=20
U.N. officials were just stunned that they had been singled out. =
You could almost hear the sense of betrayal in their voices.=20
After all, the United Nations had tried mightily to thwart =
America's liberation of Iraq every step of the way.=20
If the U.N. had prevailed, Hussein would still be in his palaces =
and his "boys" would still be raping and pillaging. Moreover, the U.N. =
is there now to look out for the Iraqi people, unlike those =
"imperialist" American occupiers.=20
The U.N. was so anxious to avoid being associated or identified =
with the U.S., it requested that U.S. guards outside the U.N. =
headquarters be kept to a minimum. The bomber must have gotten a chuckle =
out of that.=20
So, Kofi Annan is left to ponder today the fact that appeasement =
of evil will not spare you in the end.=20
Thugs and terrorist smell fear and it whets their appetite for =
more death and destruction.=20
But it does speak volumes about the evil we are dealing with. =
Humanitarian efforts and reconstruction efforts designed to help the =
Iraqi people are regularly sabotaged by Islamic fanatics. They care more =
about killing Americans and other westerners than they do about helping =
their own people.=20
Baghdad and Jerusalem are merely different battlefields in the =
same war, just like New York, Washington, D.C. and a field in =
Pennsylvania were on September 11th. We cannot turn back now.=20
Mr. President, drop the Road Map, rally the free world, and =
destroy these thugs now before more innocents die.=20

5. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
The ultimate truth is that there can be no compromise or =
negotiation with such demonized terrorists, whether they are blowing up =
hotels in Baghdad or buses in Jerusalem. Their aim is only to kill and =
destroy. They will never be vanquished alone by "moderate" Muslim =
leaders like Abbas, Jordan's young King Abdullah or Egypt's Hosni =
Mubarak. It is a war the pampered West must also fight with all =
available might, whatever the costs and however long it takes.

Suicide Bombings in Figures (from the Jerusalem Post)=20
Note that Tuesday's bombing was not included in those statistics=20
- Since 1993, 303 suicide bombers have carried attacks against =
Israeli targets.=20
Hamas claimed responsibility for 89 suicide attacks.
Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for 59 suicide attacks.
Fatah claimed responsibility for 58 suicide attacks.

6. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES
a.. Victory Is The Only Option ..the only way to win a war is =
to identify who the enemy is. After 10 years of lying to ourselves, the =
blood on the streets of our capital city calls out the truth. Hamas and =
Islamic Jihad could never operate if it weren't for the PA and Arafat =
and his new straw men Abbas and Dahlan.=20
b.. Too Predictable... I will write now, admittedly, in anger, =
but there is no doubt regarding the truth of the words: Israel has =
become too darned predictable... How many other nations would =
continuously tolerate such atrocities without exacting just and =
devastating retribution?=20
c.. The Morning After A cloud of sorrow is filtering the light =
over Jerusalem. It is the morning after the bombing of Bus Number 2 =
which killed 20, including infants and children.=20
d.. America Turns Its Back On '242' It was, let it be recalled, =
the American and British delegates on the Security Council who fought =
hard in the council for what became the official text of Resolution 242. =
Now the US disavows that UN Resolution, embraces the counter-resolution =
(threatening the existence of Israel) - and, through its secretary of =
state, threatens Israel with sanctions for not conforming.=20
e.. El Maleh Rachamim (the memorial prayer) Abu Mazen's =
condolences are as fake as the videos the PA is making supposedly =
showing a terror incident that the PA sends forces to stop -- Yes, fake, =
but our blood is not fake, and our dead children are not fake, and the =
suffering wounded and widows, widowers, parents, families and friends of =
the victims are real, and bleeding with broken hearts.=20
f.. Israeli Fool's Gold Well the Palestinians went and did it =
again. And what did they do, you ask? They reminded everyone they just =
don't want a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria - the West Bank - =
and Gaza, but that they want to destroy Israel itself.=20
g.. Genius and Evil If the =93Palestinian dream=94 didn=92t =
exist, it could be invented. The problem is much worse. The =
=93Palestinian dream=94 does exist, and Arabs do not make a secret of =
it: they dream of Israel=92s destruction.=20

husband suggested about five p.m. yesterday, Tuesday, August =
19,2003.=20
Great, I told him. I've been stuck in the house all day working on =
my=20
book. Making dinner seemed like mission impossible.=20
<P>I wanted to go someplace new, so I went to a website listing =
all=20
Jerusalem's kosher restaurants and found this little French place =
in the=20
center of town I'd never been to before. I called to find out if =
they had=20
a security guard, and then, while I was on the phone, asked if I =
needed to=20
make reservations. Actually, I did. "We've only got one table =
available,=20
out on the patio," the staff told me. "Otherwise, we are booked =
for the=20
whole evening." And I thought, wow, after all the restaurants in =
town=20
center have been going out of business after two years of =
intifadah, this=20
place must be something special.=20
<P>Even before we parked our car, I saw it. Downtown Jerusalem was =
packed=20
with people. Families out for a stroll. Holiday-makers on tours. =
People=20
going to the downtown food festivals. The open air flea markets =
were=20
re-opened, and full of buyers. I couldn't believe my eyes. Just a =
year=20
ago, Jerusalem was a ghost town. It was almost the feeling of a =
rebirth, I=20
thought. People throwing off their fears, beginning to live again. =
<P>We sat down to eat about ten to eight. The food was great. The =
service=20
wonderful. Lovely antipasti, and foie gras with pears, served on a =
little=20
table out in a vine-covered courtyard. It was quiet and pretty. =
And I=20
thought how fortunate this little place had weathered the terrible =
days=20
when no one came to Jerusalem.=20
<P>We finished about ten past nine, and decided to join the =
milling crowds=20
enjoying the summer evening. As we walked down Rechov Rivlin and =
reached=20
Jaffa Road, I didn't suspect anything as I saw the young boys who =
ran down=20
the street. Youngsters letting off steam, I thought. Then I saw =
the police=20
cars, and overheard someone say: Pigua. Terrorist attack.=20
<P>All at once, I heard the sirens. More crowds of people were =
gathered on=20
corners, listening to car radios. Someone said "Shmuel HaNavi =
street." It=20
was a street in the heart of Jerusalem's ultra Orthodox =
neighborhood.=20
<P>Suddenly, the lively street scene turned almost surrealistic. =
People=20
were still sitting in outdoor cafes, smiling and laughing, while =
streets=20
away children lay burnt and dying. There were no loudspeakers, and =
if you=20
weren't paying attention, you could keep on telling yourself that=20
everything was the same; a lovely summer evening in Jerusalem.=20
<P>We headed back to the car, and put on the radio. A double bus, =
standing=20
room only, packed with religious families coming back from a visit =
to the=20
Western Wall, blown to bits. It had just happened.=20
<P>We headed home, wanting to see the television reports. As I =
opened the=20
door, I called out my son's name. But he didn't answer. He hadn't =
said he=20
was going out. He probably hadn't heard me. I walked up the steps. =
His=20
room was empty. My stomach lurched. My God, where was my son!=20
<P>But soon I heard his voice from another part of the house. And =
I=20
thought of all the families going through the same thing with =
different=20
results.=20
<P>I watched the television reports, the bloodied faces of crying=20
children. The grandmother led from the carnage. The bodies lying =
in the=20
streets. The tiny little girl on her back as medics worked over =
her....=20
<P>And I thought of the people still sitting in coffee houses and=20
restaurants all over Israel, and all over the world, still trying =
to=20
pretend that we are at peace, or we are in some kind of peace =
process, or=20
that we have people to speak to among Muslim Palestinians, or =
Muslims in=20
general, who are in a position of power who actually want to reach =
a=20
peaceful compromise on any subject. And I thought of all the =
months our=20
government has allowed itself to give in to American pressure to =
abandon=20
its war on terror, to let out prisoners, hand over security =
control in the=20
West Bank and Gaza, allow terrorist organizations to bring in more =
and=20
better weapons, train more bombers, in a process of self-delusion =
that=20
looked at every concession as a step towards some positive goal. I =
thought=20
of all these things which had led, inevitably, to that tiny girl =
lying=20
bloodied in the street fighting for her young life.=20
<P>And I thought of myself, as a citizen in a democracy, and how =
tired I=20
was of fighting her enemies and her own government, and most of =
her own=20
press, and the country of her birth --the greatest democracy and =
lover of=20
freedom in the world today, the United States-- all of whom have =
been=20
totally wrong every step of the way in facing a threat to mankind =
that can=20
only be solved by force of arms with useless words, and =
self-destructive=20
appeasement.=20
<P>I thought, I'm to blame for that little girl. I shouldn't have =
been=20
going out to dinner. I should have been standing with picket signs =
outside=20
the home of my Prime Minister, my government, the American =
Embassy,=20
telling them that the lives of the people of Israel were not a =
bargaining=20
chip. And that that little girl's life, her blood, is on all our =
heads. I=20
should have been screaming: anyone who doesn't fight terror 100% =
of the=20
time, is a collaborator in the death of victims of terror.=20
<P>That very same day, I had watched television footage of a =
terrorist=20
bomb as it blew up the head of the UN delegation in Baghdad. I had =
heard=20
UN spokesmen say, finally, after two years of having them blow up =
Bar=20
Mitzvahs, and discos and Seder nights:" terrorists know no =
boundaries."=20
<P>Those of us who wish to rid the world of terror should learn =
from our=20
enemies. Our opposition to terrorism, to leaders of the free world =
that=20
accommodate it, to an indifferent public that has learned to =
tolerate the=20
deaths of others by it, should also know no boundaries. We are not =
allowed=20
to get tired, to take time off. We need to be as relentless and=20
uncompromising and single-minded and unmerciful and determined as =
Hamas,=20
and Islamic Jihad. We need to fight for our lives now, so that our =

Journal Editorial - August 21, 2003=20
<H4>Abbas has to choose between terror and respectability.</H4>
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>T</FONT>uesday night's suicide =
bombings in=20
Israel powerfully demonstrated the failure of the current strategy =
of=20
Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas in implementing the road =
map.=20
Unfortunately it had to take the death of 20 Israelis, and the =
injury of=20
more than 100 others, to prove the point.
<P>Central to the first stage of the road map is the requirement =
that the=20
Palestinians dismantle their terrorist organizations. Mr. Abbas =
believed=20
he could succeed in disarming them through negotiation, rather =
than force,=20
and heralded a three-month cease-fire declared by the terrorists =
in June=20
as a sign of his progress. Tuesday night (the second major attack =
in=20
violation of the cease-fire) came ironically as Islamic Jihad =
leaders were=20
meeting with Mr. Abbas to discuss their cease-fire. Islamic Jihad, =
along=20
with Hamas, claimed responsibility for the killings (although =
Hamas=20
incredibly denied the cease-fire was over).=20
<P>But the terrorists, it is now clear, merely used the cease-fire =
as an=20
opportunity to re-arm and re-train for further attacks on Israel. =
It was=20
always unrealistic of Mr. Abbas to believe that he could suddenly =
persuade=20
terrorists dedicated to the destruction of the state of Israel to =
lay down=20
their arms and accept a two-state solution. These organizations, =
like al=20
Qaeda, aim to fight until the total destruction of their enemy. =
The only=20
response is to destroy them first. The White House appears to have =
accepted that the strategy the U.S. is using toward al Qaeda is =
also=20
needed here. As Sean McCormack, the White House National Security =
Council=20
spokesman, put it in the wake of the bombing, "We call upon the=20
Palestinian Authority to act to dismantle terrorist networks."=20
<P>The Palestinian Prime Minister and his security chief Mohammed =
Dahlan=20
must now decide what they want--a Palestinian entity perpetually =
at war=20
with Israel, or an internationally recognized state free to build =
its=20
future. The silent majority of Palestinians want a normal life, =
but the=20
terrorists make it impossible. Messrs. Abbas and Dahlan have shown =
some=20
inclination to restrain terror, but Tuesday's bombing demonstrates =
they=20
have a long way to go.=20
<P>It also won't be easy: One reason for their reluctance to crack =
down is=20
that they still only control a fraction of the entire Palestinian =
security=20
forces. The majority are still in the hands of Yasser Arafat, who =
is=20
working hard to blow up the road map. A genuine crackdown would =
mean some=20
bloody scenes, and perhaps even a Palestinian civil war.=20
<P>Mr. Abbas has certainly been around Arafat enough to understand =
his old=20
ally's game. Mr. Abbas was with Arafat at the 1993 Oslo Peace =
Accords=20
where, like the current road map, the Palestinians were given =
control of=20
land and in return promised to dismantle the terrorist networks. =
But=20
instead Arafat rejected Ehud Barak's generous peace offer, =
launching the=20
intifada against Israel and giving financial and military support =
to the=20
terrorists.=20
<P>Like his long-time benefactor, Mr. Abbas speaks of "living in =
peace=20
with Israel" and "dismantling terror." Arafat had a habit of then=20
switching into Arabic and encouraging the suicide bombers in their =
deadly=20
work, which was financed by Arafat's Palestinian Authority. So far =
Mr.=20
Abbas has been more consistent. But he cannot straddle the worlds =
of jihad=20
and international respectability.=20
<P>For the first time in years, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's =
regime,=20
the refusal to deal with Arafat and the presence of a U.S. =
President=20
committed to fighting terrorism have produced a glimmer of hope =
that the=20
Israeli-Palestinian question can be resolved. Mr. Abbas has a =
chance to=20
turn Palestinians away from terror and lead his people to =
statehood in=20
peace with Israel. To do that, however, he must forcibly disarm =
these=20
terrorists. If he doesn't, Israel has a responsibility to its =
citizens to=20
do it instead.=20

Palestinian=20

attack."=20
He then went on with other news of the day.=20
<P>Dr. Aaron Lerner, the director of IMRA news agency, =
www.imra.org.il,=20
asked Dr. Widlanski to comment on the reaction of the PA to the =
bus=20
bombing yesterday in Jerusalem. The following are his =
observations: "If=20
the Palestinian Authority, or as they term themselves, the =
Palestinian=20
leadership, had any intention to convey a message of real =
condemnation of=20
these attacks, they would call them attacks."=20
<P>The bombing of the bus yesterday is universally termed in the=20
Palestinian press "amaliyya al Quds" - "the Jerusalem operation," =
rather=20
than as an "attack" or a "terroristic attack." By the way, the =
"peace=20
process" is also termed the "peace operation" by the Palestinian =
media.=20
<P>The "condemnation" broadcast by Voice of Palestine radio never=20
condemned the perpetrators. Interestingly, the reports all act as =
if the=20
identity of the attacker is not known.=20
<P>It should also be noted that the reports did not begin with the =
news of=20
the attack and its "condemnation". They opened with comments about =
the=20
"horrible" things that the Israelis were doing (i.e. the "racist =
fence").=20
And yesterday morning the top story was the Israelis "invading" =
the Temple=20
Mount.=20
<P>Voice of Palestine also ran very cheerful music after the bus =
attack -=20
as they did after the recent Rosh Ha'ayin/Ariel attacks. It was =
unusually=20
light music - as they would play on a holiday.=20
<P>Meanwhile, Al Quds, the official newspaper of the Palestinian=20
Authority, also ran an interesting editorial cartoon - two colored =
star=20
bursts going off before cameras labeled Baghdad and Jerusalem."=20
<P>The time has come for the press to learn from the mistakes of =
the Oslo=20
process.=20
<P>For almost a decade, the media has tended to mislead the public =
by=20
ignoring the Arabic language broadcasts and telecasts of the =
official=20
Palestinian Authority media, whose radio news content is directly=20
controlled by Arafat and Abu Mazen.=20
<P>Even the Jewish Telegraphic Agency fell into the trap, when the =
JTA"s=20
Gil Sedan reported in his dispatch of August 20th that Abu Mazen=20
"vehemently condemned the bombing, [and] reportedly ordered PA =
security=20
services to arrest those responsible." Sedan, who knows Arabic, =
could very=20
easily have checked with the Arabic language PA TV, PA radio and =
PA=20
newspapers, where he would have heard an entirely different =
message from=20
the Palestinian Authority.=20
