See? It isn't that complicated after all! Jed Babbit lays it out for us in simple english:
After the Passover Massacre, in which yet another Palestinian suicide bomber killed yet another crowd of innocents, the Israelis finally decided to rid themselves of the terrorists' godfather who directs the attacks against them every day. The Friday morning raid into Yassir Arafat's Ramallah compound is undoubtedly aimed at two objectives: seizing the treasure trove of intelligence there, and capturing this bloody-handed terrorist alive, so he can be deported.As Benjamin Netanyahu reminded us on Friday, Arafat was offered a Palestinian state, and East Jerusalem for its capital, twenty months ago. Israel's then-prime minister, Ehud Barak, staked his political life on Arafat and Clinton, and lost it. Arafat's response to that offer is today's daily slaughter.
Call it like you see it, Jed
