| One week after Yasser Arafat used The St.
Petersburg Times, The New York Times, and other American newspapers to
tell the world that he is opposed to terror, the following actions
occurred in Israel. |
|

|
Palestinian forces in Gaza launched
three "Qassam" missiles into southern Israel from Gaza |
|
Palestinian police released prison inmates near the Gaza City complex after
Palestinians ran to the compound demanding that suspected Islamic militants held
there be released immediately. Reports this afternoon indicate that some 60 prisoners were also released by the
PA from a jail in Hebron, after it was stormed by nearly 500 Palestinians
demanding their freedom. Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives, including wanted
terrorist Muhammad Ayoub Sider, were reportedly among those detainees released
today, which took place as PA police stood by and made no effort to prevent the
mass jailbreak.

|
An Arab terror squad shot into a pastry shop in the southern city of
Beersheva, killing two young women soldiers and wounding four others.
|
|
A 25-year-old woman was stabbed to death by four terrorists while walking
with her boy friend in the Jerusalem peace forest.
|
|
A 78-year old woman was shot dead on Saturday night while
driving on the Trans-Samaria Highway with her son. Palestinian gunmen
opened fire on the car in an ambush between Ariel and the Tapuah
Junction.
She was hit in the head and her son Victor continued driving to Tapuah,
where his mother died as medics tried to administer first aid |
|
In Arabic, Arafat fired up a crowd in Ramallah, by calling for ''a million
martyrs marching on Jerusalem." Later that same night, a Palestinian
terrorist, wearing an Israeli uniform, infiltrated a small agricultural
community and murdered three people - a 33-year-old immigrant from Ethiopia, and
an unarmed mother and her disabled 11-year-old daughter.
|
|
The next morning, Arafat's Voice of Palestine radio jubilantly reported the
attack. ''The man carrying out the operation,'' declared senior news anchor
Nizar al-Ghul, ''became a heroic martyr.''
|
|
That night, Arafat again addressed a rally in Ramallah. ''We will make the
lives of the infidels’ Hell,'' he swore. Once more he raised the battle cry,
''Millions of martyrs marching to Jerusalem, ‘' calling on Palestinians of all
ages and both genders to die in the supposedly holy act of murdering Jews.
|
|
Almost daily since his article appeared in the St. Petersburg Times,
Arafat's Palestinian media continued to celebrate the death of Wafa Idris, an
Arab woman who had detonated a massive bomb in downtown Jerusalem the week
before.
|
So ended another week in the "Palestinian Vision of Peace."
