Pete Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I dont think there has been one. I hope that POS is rotting in hell!
blzrul Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 I don't know but there have been shootings in which several Israelis, at least a civilian or two among them, have been killed. With the tsunami those haven't gotten too much press. Hopefully this new guy, Abbas, will prove to be the one who can finally move the peace process forward.

blzrul Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Abbas is not 'new.' 199789[/snapback] Didn't he just get elected to replace Arafat?
boomerjamhead Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Didn't he just get elected to replace Arafat? 199799[/snapback] Yeah, he did.
blzrul Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, he did. 199803[/snapback] So then in that respect he is the NEW leader. Which is what I was talking about. And I hope he's got the guts to work for peace instead of same-old same-old.
UConn James Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Actually you're both right and both wrong. In March 2003, [Abbas] was named the first Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, but never was given full authority as Yasser Arafat insisted that all decision be cleared with him. More important, Arafat maintained control over several security services, which further undermined Abbas's authority. When Abbas explicitly refused to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in the PA, as required by the road map, the peace process faltered. Let's see what he can do w/o being under President-For-Life-Arafat. That last sentence doesn't exactly warm any cockles.

Ya see, blowhard thinks she knows everything and her 'new' label of Abbas was comical to say the least.

nobody Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Let's hope israel is serious about the peace plan also.

Ya see, blowhard thinks she knows everything and her 'new' label of Abbas was comical to say the least. 200234[/snapback] I wasn't purporting to be an expert. I made a statement about Abbas being the new guy, meaning that he'd just been elected to replace Arafat, which is what the original thread started with. You elected to attack, for whatever reason I don't know. I was just expressing the hope that under new leadership peace might stand a chance. Perhaps you have something against peace. I love how you neocon simpletons always try to nail me personally for even the most innocuous statement. That is, I realize, a measure of your fear and how threatened you feel. so, in the same spirit as your unnecessary and unprovoked attack: Why don't you eat my shorts you pathetic little twit?
erynthered Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Oh, my bad. I didn't realize that was what you were talking about. How foolish of me. 200236[/snapback] Boom, somebody's holding some kind of meal for Ya! Why don't you eat my shorts you pathetic little twit? Make sure you get some fries with that.
blzrul Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Boom, somebody's holding some kind of meal for Ya!Make sure you get some fries with that. 200743[/snapback] A little mustard might help too.

B/c while he was PM, he also resigned b/c Arafat was still basically running the entire show. As I said, let's see how he does w/o Arafat's henchmen standing behind his back w/ knives at the ready and if he can lessen the influence of Hamas and do something serious about the suicide bombers/attacks on settlements. And yes, hope that Israel will play ball as well.

I saw a number of interviews with citizens and they stated to a person that they were sick and tired of the deaths and they wanted peace. So, let's hope it can happen.
