The body of an Israeli settler kidnapped at the weekend by Palestinian militants was recovered overnight by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian security sources said, without providing further details...

On Wednesday, the armed Popular Resistance Committees had displayed a photocopy of the identity papers of the 18-year-old Eliahu Asheri, a settler who was reported missing Sunday from the West Bank, and threatened to kill him unless Israel halted its offensive in the Gaza Strip...


Real tough guys, those Palestinians, slaughtering innocent teenagers. If they think the Israelis are going to cut-and-run over a little spilled blood, they are deluding themselves. This most warped of all Arab societies (raised by dual liberal icons Yassar Arafat and the United Nations) needs a severe ass-kicking to teach them what the consequences are of electing a terrorist government. Any European attempts to shield the Palestinian population from the results of their actions is no different than directly aiding Hamas. No different from protecting the German people while the Nazis were carrying out the Holocaust.

Whatever happens to the Palestinians, they have brought it on themselves. If even the Gaza handover could not satiate, for one moment, their thirst for the blood of the children of Israel; then they are too far gone to be helped by any "shuttle diplomacy". Let this nasty little war play out; and may a harsh lesson be left in its wake.
