So much for that vaunted palestinian love of death. Ahmed Saadat told Al Jazeera this morning:
“We are not going to surrender. We are going to face our destiny with courage,” he told Al-Jazeera television from the jail.
Guess he’s a coward, then.
JERICHO, West Bank (AP) – Six Palestinian militants holed up inside a Palestinian prison surrendered to Israeli forces Tuesday, almost 10 hours after soldiers using helicopters, tanks and bulldozers raided the compound to seize militants who killed an Israeli Cabinet minister.
The militants who surrendered included Ahmed Saadat, leader of a radical PLO faction and mastermind of the 2001 assassination of the minister, the Israeli military said.
The pals aren’t happy.
As the militants surrendered, some 15,000 Palestinians, led by dozens of gunmen firing in the air, marched in Gaza City to protest the raid. The demonstrators, chanting anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans, marched toward the Palestinian parliament building.
Palestinians, furious about the raid that also left two Palestinians dead, attacked offices linked to America and Europe, torching the British Council building in Gaza City and kidnapping foreigners, including an American professor, a Red Cross worker, two South Korean journalists and two Australian teachers at an American school.
Way to go, schmucks. Destroy the organizations that are helping you. Then, expect them not to leave.
I guess that part about loving death only goes for the brainwashed young men who become suicide bombers. Because Ahmed Saadat is alive, kicking, and on his way to an Israeli jail, where he can no longer run his terrorist operations.
Buh-bye.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Big Pharoah calls the Palestinians stupid. He’s being far too kind. The Palestinians are colossally stupid on a level previously unknown.

The Arabs deserve what they reap. Death and destruction. Israel should simply invade the soverign country of Hamas….and annex all the territory as a right of conquest and expel all of them.

I suppose it may come to that. I’m surprised it hasn’t. But the Israelis seem to have decided to fance them off first, and see if that works reasonably well. If it does, they’ll let the Palis squat in their own squalor for as long as they insist on being barbarians. The Palis had better be content with that. I think the Palis really don’t want to see what the alternative is.
