Palestinian Patheticism

Abbas wants to skip stage one of the so called Road Map and proceed to step two. He wants to engage in high level multilateral talks with Israel and other nations on the final status of the disputed territories.

Are you kidding me?

Stage One called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and disarmament of the terrorists - along with measures to improve Israel's security. The Palestinians never did a single thing to improve Israel's security or fulfill any of its obligations under Oslo and every other agreement made since 1993.

Mazen made this statement on the heels of yet another suicide bomber caught before they could get to their target.

The IDF arrested Tuesday night a Palestinian Fatah member on his way to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel, the army reported Wednesday.

Security forces acting on a tip had set up roadblocks in the area surrounding Nablus. Near the village of Ein Bidan, the suspect, who was in possession of a 6-kg. explosives belt, was arrested. Another man, who the army believed was supposed to drive the would-be bomber to the site of the planned attack, was also arrested, Israel Radio reported.

On Wednesday evening, Nahal Brigade soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian carrying a rifle and a handgun who opened fire at the troops. None of the soldiers were reported wounded in the incident.

Also on Wednesday, a border police unit arrested an Islamic Jihad fugitive in the village of Elyamun near Jenin.

That's just an accounting of actions taken this week to stop terrorism against Israel. When the Palestinians actually fulfill their obligations, then we can begin to consider any further talks. Right now, the actions are speaking loudest and they shout that Palestinians have absolutely no interest in peace with Israel but rather ongoing hostilities.
