Israel News Briefs

On the terror front..

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh has told

Haaretz that his Hamas government is prepared to agree to an

extended cease-fire if Israel withdraws to the 1967 lines. Hmm…we give up land we captured from the Arabs in a war they imposed on us, and they give us their word they will put their whole destruction of Israel thing on hold for a while. Yeah! Let’s go for it!

Meanwhile, Haniyeh insists that his people will not descend into civil war. And anyone who disagrees with him will be shot on the spot.

Israel has captured the Ramallah-area commander of Hamas’ military wing, Israel’s most wanted man in the West Bank, allegedly responsible for killing 55 Israelis and wounding hundreds. Let the AP photo orgy begin!

Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah has warned Israel that it will answer any attack on its territory by firing thousands of rockets on all parts of northern Israel. I guess these are in addition to the rockets they are already firing at us, even though we don’t attack them.

An Islamic Jihad commander has complained that a Shin Bet decision to forbid him from marrying an Arab Israeli woman “fosters great hatred and enmity within me towards [Israelis].” I guess this is in addition to the great hatred and enmity already within him, which motivated him to join the Islamic Jihad to begin with.

On the domestic front..

Israeli’s Public Security Minister Avi Dichter has stated that Police Commissioner Moshe Karadi and other senior police officials who received a letter of warning for their alleged ties to a well-know crime family will not be suspended from their posts (not meant in the palestinian justice sense of these words).

Amnesty International has slammed Israel in its latest report. Blah blah blah blah blah..
