There is not one mention in the article about WHY Israel went after Sheikh Ahmed Yassin -- the continual bombings that persistently target the old, the young and the infirm. The article makes it look like Israel started this thing and I find that extremely unfair!
My simple view is that these people (the Palestinians) are cowards and will tuck their tails between their legs and run like hell when Israel gets serious . . . .
Like the rest of the world I am waiting for Israel to go in and knock hell out of Arafats' criminal organization and as far as the BBC is concerned -- "Piss on the BBC!"
