Police probe Gush Shalom visit to Arafat's Muqata

[Gimel]

Police say a Gush Shalom delegation broke the law on Saturday when it went to the Muqata in Ramallah to express solidarity with Yasser Arafat and to mark the 10th anniversary of the Oslo accords.

The delegation, led by veteran peace activist Uri Avnery, and
including MKs Ahmed Tibi and Issam Mahoul, Meretz activists
and others, promised Arafat they would organize a "human shield" to protect him from government threats to "remove" the PA leader.

2. You mean TINOIRE'S beloved Gush Shalom ??

3. Maybe Uri is conflicted

The movie "The Believer" addresses such a person - it was difficult for me to watch.

"This is the story of Danny Balint, a young Jewish man from New York City struggling with the conflict between his beliefs and his heritage."

4. Gush Shalom Rules!

And, yes, Uris is awesome!
Anti-zionism: it's not just for Jews anymore.

6. No way

Arafat has the US for a shield.

[Scurrilous]

5. Selective enforcement.

"Police say the peace activists' trip to the
Muqata, where they also met Palestinian prime
minister-designate Ahmed Qurei, violated an
order issued by the Central Command two years
ago. This forbids Israelis from entering Area
A, the zones designated in the Wye River
Plantation agreement as under full Palestinian
control."

If Israeli's are banned from entering Area A, who's manning those tanks surrounding Arafat's compound?

7. The law applies to

civilian Israelis, obviously.

8. city of Hebron is Area A

The IDF has never tried to keep settlers out of there.

9. Hebron has "special" rules

For the lunatics.
