• Targets
  This is the difference between the Israeli and the Palestinian ways of war. In fact, the Palestinian polity's distinct contribution to world politics--from Arafat almost four decades ago until today, from Munich to the bombing in the old Tel Aviv bus station last week--is the utter routinization of the savage killing of innocents, "the banality of evil" in another era.
  
  
• The Fourth Dimension of Aggression
  If the attacked Jews exercise self-defense through force of arms and, moreover, inflict severe punishment on the Arab perpetrators, then the Arabs immediately develop a "selective amnesia", considering themselves innocent victims of the vicious enemy.
  
  
• Lies, Pathologic Lies and the Palestinians
  Lying is, to borrow a legal definition, the "deliberate misrepresentation of fact." Lying, as practiced by the Yasser Mob Squad, can be a very rational activity when placed in the service of some goal.
  
  
• Cloaks and Daggers
  One must truly hand it to the Arabs - they came up with an ingenious method to destroy Israel - without even appearing responsible. They have created this plan with the political cover and support of many of the world's intellectual elites, the Media, trade unions, and leadership of the European "progressive Western Democracies."
  
  
• Christian Persecution in Arafat-land  Such is life for Christians now in Bethlehem and other formerly Christian towns in the West Bank. Just imagine what it will be like when Palestine becomes a real state.
• Timely, Justified Execution = Justice + Deterrent
  The military leader of Hamas Sheik Salah Shehadeh was responsible for murdering more than 150 innocent men, women and children only over the last 22 months - plus thousands wounded, many maimed for life with lost limbs, bodies full of nails and shrapnel. He, himself was killed for these evil acts.
  
  
• Completely Unacceptable?
  If responsibility is fairly to be assigned for the death of innocents yesterday, it lies heavily on Palestinian shoulders.
  
  
• No Say in Our Future
  How else is one to assess the fact that, in the shadow of the latest massacre of Israeli civilians, world leaders have met and made plans regarding the future of Israel and the Palestinians without bothering to invite a representative of the Jewish state to participate in discussions?
  
  
• U.S. Diplomacy: Even-Handed, Empty-Handed
  Since the eruption of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities in September 2000, the United States has faced the dilemma of formulating a policy response. The nature of the violence is clear, and almost predictable in its routine. Not so U.S. policy, which has been ambivalent-so ambivalent that it may well have become a factor in prolonging the violence itself.
  
  
• Power of the 'Arab Street'
  It is unbearable Arab rage over Arab failure, rather than the Arab-Israeli conflict that threatens to destabilize the Middle East.
  
  
• You Can't Reason With Hatred"The Oslo process was the work of secular elites on both sides. They thought they could circumvent all these nasty religious differences. They could make peace together, but back home they had these two powerful mythologies."
  
  
• Jordan is Palestinian - the PA is a Fiefdom
  What the Bush initiative overlooks and the Saudi plan envisages, therefore, is not a Palestinian state but a PLO statelet, a kind of a personal fiefdom for patriarch Arafat and his aging cronies.
  
  
• Arafat is Toast; Bush Knows it
  For Bush, it's a win-win situation. If the Palestinians elect the Hamas crowd, he can say, "Fine, I respect your choice. Call me back when you decide to put self-government before self-detonation."
  
  
• Palestinian People Do Not Exist
  A provocative headline? It's more than that. It's the truth. Truth does not change. Truth is truth. If something was true 50 years ago, 40 years ago, 30 years ago, it is still true today.
  
  
• On September 11 World War III Started
  The 11th of September was, if you will, an official and biting declaration of World War III.
  
  
• Truth or Dare
  If President Bush resolutely sticks to the truth and holds Arab feet to the fire, then the terrorist war is likely begin in earnest, both in Israel and in the United States. And if he capitulates to Foggy Bottom and dumbs down the requirements for Palestinian statehood, then Israel's strategic situation will grow unsustainably worse, and regional war will be the certain result.
  
  
• No "Isolated Incident"
  This was no "isolated incident." The enemies of America vowed to commit a terror strike on American soil on July 4 and they succeeded.
  
  
• Sole Brothers
  It is this kind of pro-Israel fervor that makes it so hard to turn away the Christian hand being extended to us at a time when so many others - including so-called "friends and allies" - have abandoned us in our moment of need, swallowing whole the lies and mistruths being maliciously spread about us.
  
  
• Follow the Euro Trail
  The EU has been the PA's big-hearted sugar daddy; Yasser's bountiful and boundless papa bear - the deepest honeypot the Palestinians could ever hope for.
  
  
• The Greatest Mideast Challenge
  If the Arabs in the disputed territories have been telling us anything for the past half-century, it is that their homeland barely touches on Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. They want Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Lod, Acre, and Beersheba too.
