| Not so smart, Erekat Elan 25 July 2002 Commenting on Israel's execution of terrorist Salah Shehadeh NPR (National Public Radio) quotes PA official SAEB EREKAT "This is a war crime actually and nothing justifies that F-16 bombers go and hit residential areas, nothing under any circumstances. And we all know that bullets will breed bullets, violence will breed violence, hate will bring hate. We don't need this. We had a meeting yesterday. We were meeting with the Israelis yesterday, urging them to give the peace process a chance and now comes this." 1 By aiding and abetting Hamas terrorists, and by denying Israel's repeated requests that Salah Shehadeh be prosecuted, the PA has made itself responsible for the unfortunate Palestinian casualties that resulted from Israel's successful effort to end Shehadeh's bloody terrorist career. It is appalling that Mr. Erekat criticizes Israel for casualties that could have been avoided, had the PA refrained from inciting and supporting Palestinian terrorist attacks against innocent Israeli civilians and instead ruled in terrorists, such as Salah Shehadeh. Israel's primary obligation is to ensure the safety of its citizens before Israel makes any laudable, but not obligatory efforts to keep Palestinian civilian casualties to a minimum as it pursues this primary duty. Mr. Erekat is in effect demanding that Israel value the welfare of Palestinian civilians higher than that of its own citizens. If Mr. Erekat says that "bullets will breed bullets, violence will breed violence, hate will bring hate", then he apparently understands the reason for Israel's missile attack: It is precisely what the PA and its terrorist organizations have been feverishly breeding for years. Mr. Erekat knows very well that "now comes this" is the result of Palestinian terrorism, such as the recent bus bombings. For Mr. Erekat "to give the peace process a chance" is apparently synonymous with allowing terrorists to pursue their bloody trade unpunished. If Mr. Erekat were truly worried about peace, he would applaud Israel's successful efforts to prepare the ground for a political solution, by eliminating a key terrorist figure. Elan |
