skytheRE: what??????
Israel does not reserve the right to ‘nab’ these people. It reserves the right to ask for their extradition. Any such request has to be supported by evidence, there’s no need to worry about that. There will not be any such request, and no such request is likely to be accepted, without ample evidence, of which, incidently, there is plenty.

Gun Control Misfires in Europe
What’s behind the massacres in Germany, France and Switzerland?
BY JOHN R. LOTT JR.
Saturday, May 4, 2002 12:01 a.m. EDT
Sixteen people were killed during last week’s school shooting in Germany. This follows the killing of 14 regional legislators in Zug, a Swiss canton, last September, and the massacre of eight city council members in a Paris suburb last month. The three worst public shootings in the Western world during the past year all occurred in Europe, whose gun laws are exactly what gun-control advocates want the U.S. to adopt. Indeed, all three occurred in gun-free “safe zones.”
Germans who wish to get hold of a hunting rifle must undergo checks that can last a year, while those wanting a gun for sport must be a member of a club and obtain a license from the police. The French must apply for gun permits, which are granted only after an exhaustive background and medical record check and demonstrated need, with permits only valid for three years. Even Switzerland’s once famously liberal laws have become tighter. Swiss federal law now limits gun permits to only those who can demonstrate in advance a need for a weapon to protect themselves or others against a precisely specified danger.
The problem with such laws is that they take away guns from law-abiding citizens, while would-be criminals ignore them, leaving potential victims defenseless. The U.S. has shown that making guns more available is actually a better formula for law and order.
America has seen a major change from 1985, when just eight states had the most liberal right-to-carry laws, which automatically grant permits once applicants pass a criminal background check, pay their fees and in some cases complete a training class. Today the total is 33 states. Deaths and injuries from multiple-victim public shootings fell on average by 78% in states that passed such laws.
In Europe, by contrast, violent crime is rising. Many factors are responsible, but it’s clear that strict gun control laws aren’t helping.
In 1996, Britain banned handguns. The ban was so tight that even shooters training for the Olympics were forced to travel to other countries to practice. In the six years since the ban, gun crimes have risen by an astounding 40%. Britain now leads the U.S. by a wide margin in robberies and aggravated assaults. Although murder and rape rates are still lower than in the U.S., the difference is shrinking quickly. Dave Rogers, vice chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said that despite the ban, “the underground supply of guns does not seem to have dried up at all.”
Australia also passed severe gun restrictions in 1996, banning most guns and making it a crime to use a gun defensively. In the subsequent four years, armed robberies rose by 51%, unarmed robberies by 37%, assaults by 24%, and kidnappings by 43%. While murders fell by 3%, manslaughter rose by 16%.
And both Britain and Australia have been thought to be ideal places for gun control because they are surrounded by water, making gun smuggling relatively difficult. By contrast smuggling is much easier on the Continent or within the U.S.
Gun-control advocates frequently ignore another inconvenient fact: Many countries with high homicide rates have gun bans. It is hard to think of a much more draconian police state than the former Soviet Union, with a ban on guns that dated back to the communist revolution. Yet newly released data show that from 1976 to 1985 the U.S.S.R.’s homicide rate was between 21% and 41% higher than that of the U.S.
Many French politicians complained during their presidential election that the shooting in Paris meant “it’s getting like in America, and we don’t want to see that here.” Americans may draw a different lesson from the evidence, and hope that they don’t become more like the Europeans.

Claims of massacre go unsupported by Palestinian fighters
By Charles A. Radin, Globe Staff and Dan Ephron, Globe Correspondent, 4/29/2002
ENIN, West Bank – Palestinian Authority allegations that a large-scale massacre of civilians was committed by Israeli troops during their invasion of the refugee camp here appear to be crumbling under the weight of eyewitness accounts from Palestinian fighters who participated in the battle and camp residents who remained in their homes until the final hours of the fighting.
In interviews yesterday with teenage fighters, a leader of Islamic Jihad, an elderly man whose home was at the center of the fighting, and other Palestinian residents, all of whom were in the camp during the battle, none reported seeing large numbers of civilians killed. All said they were allowed to surrender or evacuate when they were ready to do so, though some reported being mistreated while in Israeli detention.
Palestinian Authority leaders have asserted that more than 500 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the camp and that many of the dead were buried by Israeli forces in mass graves. Investigators for Amnesty International said that Israel failed to provide safe passage from the camp to noncombatants.
The Palestinian allegations led to the creation of a UN fact-finding team for Jenin, but Israel yesterday barred the team from arriving amid allegations of an anti-Israel bias.
Israel says that those Palestinians killed in the Jenin battle were almost all fighters, that none were buried in mass graves, and that ample chance was given to fighters to surrender and for civilians to leave. It initially estimated the death toll at 100 to 200, and has since revised that toll downward to 50.
Meanwhile, a British military adviser to Amnesty, Reserve Major David Holley, was quoted yesterday by Reuters news service as dismissing the Palestinian allegations of a massacre and predicting that no evidence would be found to substantiate them.
Jamal al-Shati, who was appointed by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to document events at the camp, said last night that 52 deaths have been documented, including those of three women and five children under 14. He asserts that the Israelis secretly removed bodies from the battleground.
Munir Arsam, 15, a member of Islamic Jihad, said that during the siege, which began April 3 and ended around April 11, he did scouting work for older militants, threw homemade pipe bombs, and helped with ambushes of Israeli troops. He said he was one of 50 boys, divided into groups of 10 by militant leaders, who were assigned these tasks.
In contrast with allegations by some Palestinians and Amnesty investigators, Arsam said women and children were able to evacuate the camp before the climactic battle began. Even at the height of the struggle, fighters were able to put down their weapons and surrender, he said, though he also said, as did the Amnesty investigators, that those who surrendered were beaten and otherwise mistreated while in detention.
Arsam said he knew of five fighters in houses bulldozed by the Israelis, at least two of whom were wounded and screaming for help when the bulldozers came. ”The men in the tanks and bulldozers could not hear them,” he said.
He said he saw Sheik Ri’ad Abu Abd, 57, of Tulkarem, one of the Palestinian heroes of the battle, wounded with a bullet in the leg near the end of the fighting, and asked him if he wanted to surrender.
”He said `No, I want to die, I want to fight and die,’ and a while later that house was bulldozed,” Arsam said. On the last day of the battle, with no ammunition left, Arsam buried the weapon he had acquired during the fighting and surrendered.
”They destroyed all the houses in Hawashin,” he said, describing a now-demolished neighborhood in the camp. ”I was in the last house, and they called out, `Surrender or we will fire at you.’ There were only two of us, so we left, and they destroyed the house.” He said the Israeli soldiers held him for four days, frequently beating and kicking him to make him confess to membership in Hamas or Islamic Jihad, then released him.
Asked if he felt any massacre had occurred, Arsam said: ”We killed them and they killed us, but we were victorious.”
Abdel Rahman Sa’adi, 14, another Islamic Jihad grenade-thrower, said he was one of a group of 11 adults and seven young men who surrendered upon Israeli demand. He said they were confined in a courtyard near the camp to which the Israeli troops brought dozens of other men and women.
”They told all the small kids to just leave, and they let all the women go after they checked their bags,” said Sa’adi, who has braces and was wearing a baseball cap. ”None of them were kept for questioning.”
”Of course the Palestinians won” this battle, he said, because ”they did not shake our morale. This was a massacre of the Jews, not of us.”
Prompted by bystanders, he revised his statement. ”I think there was a massacre here – maybe 100 people,” he said.
Khalid Mohammed Taleb, 70, lay on a concrete slab from his ruined house, shaded by a makeshift plastic awning, watching with a blank expression as people clambered over the rubble yesterday and buried mines and grenades occasionally exploded.
”I come every day,” he said. ”I lived here 50 years.”
Taleb and his extended family of 11 people stayed in the camp rather than evacuating because ”we thought it would be like the first invasion, they would make an incursion and leave. I used to say I wouldn’t leave even if they buried me in this house, but I saw the bulldozers killing people and I left.”
That was around midnight, on the day before the battle ended.
Taleb said he raised a white flag and walked at the front of a group of 20 people – his own family and those of two neighbors. The destruction of his house and the surrounding buildings occurred after the civilians left, he said, when only fighters remained.
He said several times that no civilians were killed, but after repeated questioning from reporters and bystanders, he said: ”Well, maybe one or two. It was a big battle.” Was it a massacre? ”Perhaps,” he said. ”Both sides lost.”
An Islamic Jihad leader, who insisted on anonymity, said he was wounded as the battle drew to a close, and crawled 300 yards to where other fighters were gathered.
”There were 35 of us, and they were bringing down houses on us, so we surrendered,” he said. Israeli soldiers ”threw me on the garbage near the hospital at noon” on the last day of the battle, ”and I remained there until 1 a.m.” The Israelis did not attempt to confine or question him, and he returned to the camp Saturday, he said.
All the fighters said that the Israelis failed to wipe out the militant leadership in the camp, which long has been known as an Islamic Jihad stronghold.
”Of course we are reorganizing,” said the Islamic Jihad leader, who walked with a cane and was thronged by comrades near the wreckage. ”I don’t know what is the plan, what is the strategy, but people are full of hatred.”
Arsam, the 15-year-old fighter, said leaders of Islamic Jihad and other factions were taking new groups of youngsters to a hill near Jenin every day for military training, teaching them to fire automatic weapons and to make bombs.
A spokesman for the Israeli army asserted, meanwhile, that Palestinians were moving bodies of people not killed in the Jenin fighting into graveyards around the camp ”to score points with the UN committee due to arrive to investigate the happenings in the Jenin refugee camp.” The military said this charge was based on information received from Israeli intelligence agencies, and refused to elaborate.

skytheRE: What happened in Jennin?
A first hand testimony from the scene of the “massacre”.
The ‘engineer’
An engineer of the fiercest battle waged by the Palestinians during the invasion of the West Bank spoke to Jonathan Cook about the days of defiance in Jenin
———————————————————————-
Omar sits restlessly on his chair in the safe-house. He is an “engineer” from Jenin refugee camp: one of the revered bomb-makers from the City of the Bombers. To the Israelis he is the most lethal, and wanted, of terrorists. The poison from the Cobra’s head.
We meet late last Thursday, hours after he escaped from the camp as Israeli soldiers took control of the area. We are still close enough to Jenin that we can see the constant stream of illumination flares, three launched by the army at a time, that light up the soldiers’ dark work in the city below.
But Omar will not be staying here long. He is going to ground deeper in the West Bank before regrouping with his comrades from Jenin.
There may not be too many. Even according to Israeli army sources, at least a hundred fighters were killed and hundreds more wounded and captured during the eight days of savage fighting.
Omar will not give his name or age. He is slim, in his mid-20s, with a closely cropped beard. He is a member of Islamic Jihad, but says in Jenin all the factions were loyal to only one cause: liberation or death.
Visible beneath a blue bomber jacket is the tightly bandaged stump of his right arm, the end of which he rubs distractedly.
How did he lose it? During the previous invasion of Jenin by the Israeli army several weeks ago, he says. He was hiding with only his arm visible as he tried to throw a ‘kwa’ — a home-made pipe bomb — at a tank. Shrapnel from a shell severed it, he says.
But as a bomb-maker, one of the most highly respected positions in the Palestinian resistance, he could equally have lost the arm in less glorious circumstances: in one of the explosions that are a professional hazard of his job.
Omar admits he is one of only a few dozen fighters not to emerge either dead or in plastic handcuffs from the fiercest battle waged by the Palestinians during the Israeli army’s invasion of the West Bank.
Of his group of 30 gunmen, only four escaped from the camp on Wednesday, after the Palestinian arsenal ran dry. Most of the others were shot dead.
“Of all the fighters in the West Bank we were the best prepared,” he says. “We started working on our plan: to trap the invading soldiers and blow them up from the moment the Israeli tanks pulled out of Jenin last month.”
Omar and other “engineers” made hundreds of explosive devices and carefully chose their locations.
“We had more than 50 houses booby-trapped around the camp. We chose old and empty buildings and the houses of men who were wanted by Israel because we knew the soldiers would search for them,” he said.
“We cut off lengths of mains water pipes and packed them with explosives and nails. Then we placed them about four metres apart throughout the houses — in cupboards, under sinks, in sofas.”
The fighters hoped to disable the Israeli army’s tanks with much more powerful bombs placed inside rubbish bins on the street. More explosives were hidden inside the cars of Jenin’s most wanted men.
Connected by wires, the bombs were set off remotely, triggered by the current from a car battery.
According to Omar, everyone in the camp, including the children, knew where the explosives were located so that there was no danger of civilians being injured. It was the one weakness in the plan.
“We were betrayed by the spies among us,” he says. The wires to more than a third of the bombs were cut by soldiers accompanied by collaborators. “If it hadn’t been for the spies, the soldiers would never have been able to enter the camp. Once they penetrated the camp, it was much harder to defend.”
And what about the explosion and ambush last Tuesday which killed 13 soldiers?
“They were lured there,” he says. “We all stopped shooting and the women went out to tell the soldiers that we had run out of bullets and were leaving.” The women alerted the fighters as the soldiers reached the booby- trapped area.
“When the senior officers realised what had happened, they shouted through megaphones that they wanted an immediate cease-fire. We let them approach to retrieve the men and then opened fire.
“Some of the soldiers were so shocked and frightened that they mistakenly ran towards us.”
On Wednesday, after the fighters ran out of ammunition, he says, armoured vehicles roamed the streets calling out to them in Arabic: “You are finished and can’t win against us. We are more powerful than you. Surrender.”
He saw one fighter who went down to the street with his hands in the air shot dead by snipers. He chose to flee the camp, although he will not say how.
Using his left arm, Omar shot a revolver during the gun battles.
With a new intensity on his face, he leans forward to ask a question. Do I think the doctors will be able to give him a strong new artificial arm with fingers he can operate. I don’t know, I say. Why?
“Because I want to be able to hold a heavy rifle again. That way I can kill more Israeli soldiers. It’s that or become a suicide bomber.”

How patronizing, the Arab world never said a good thing about Rabin when he was alive, nor tried to promote his vision of peace by trying to halt Palestinian attacks during his time in office. If it wasn’t for the suicide bombings which followed our withdrawal from Palestinian cities, under his leadership, the bastards who killed him would never have done it.

skytheRE: Israel vs Palestine
Diverting the conversation, Pakistani? It is not I who brought the subject of Northern Ireland and the amazing ethics of the British Army into the picture. All my message was about was dismissing the at times irrelevant and at other times wrong comments you made. I certainly was not trying to give you a lesson in the history of the Middle East, but rather point out that your presumed higher ethics are just that – presumed. Incidently, the two British sargents hanged by the IRGUN (not the Stern Gang) in Natania were kidnapped after the British authorities passed death sentences on Irgun members (their horrendous crime – escaping from prison) and hanged only after those sentences were carried out. Further still, the event is one which is also an example of why Israel has become an indepedent state while the Palestinian Authority is nothing but a terrorist entity – following the snatching of the two Britons, not only was the entire affair condemed by Jewish leadership, unlike the Palestinians who glorify them, but Hanaga movement actually aided the British in searching for them. Not only that, but the hanging, along with the bombing of the Kind David, was one reason why the Hagana stopped cooperating with the Irgun and even turned several of its members over to the British!
You wish to return to the subject of the ongoing conflict? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the post to which I answered was hardly about that, but rather about affairs a continent away.
No one is defending the undefensible, no one seeks to justify the deaths of innocents. Yet not once in the history of the world will you find a war that did not claim civilan lifes and wrecked huge amounts of damage. The responsibility, however, is primary on the shoulders of the people who instigate such wars. That is not to say that all is fair, it is certainly not, but not every incident in which a civlian dies is a war-crime, nor does it make one side better than the other. Palestinian civilian have died, yes – but they were never the targets of IDF operations. The terrorists, who hide among the civilian population, do intentionally target civilians, and Israel has every right to defend the lives of its citizens. Especially when it has been shown that no-one else will, no matter what they had commited to do.
As for the current state of the Israeli army, Pakistani, you’ll forgive me if I beg to differ. That’s more than a little wishful thinking on the part of many who don’t really know a thing about Israeli public opinion on current affairs. I’m A bit short of time right now, but if you wish I would be glad to explain why. Right now it will suffice to say that that the refusniks are indeed a sign of strength and that they represent not the “old” IDF, but rather a large segment of Israeli society, the same segment that fought all former wars and battles and will do so again in the future. You can take the word of a reserve IDF officer on that, one with the highest respect for those people.

skytheRE: Israel vs Palestine
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-04-02 AT 06:20 PM (GMT)]Spare me the preaching, Pakistani, I know more than enough on both Northern Ireland and the exploits of the British army.
As for Northern Ireland, your comparison is superficial. The situations are so completely different for numerous reasons. For one, fighting in the West Bank is fiercer than in NI is for the mere reason that Britain never loosened its grip on the region, giving control to a foreign entity, thus allowing its opponents to arms themselves and organize massive attacks on mainland Britain. Israel has been controlling the West Bank for 35 years, but not until the creation of the Palestinian Authority, in an attempt to reach a settlement of the dispute, were there suicide bombings in our streets. More Israeli civilians have been killed in the last year than in the decade prior to that agreement. Let’s just say that had Britain withdrawn, only to face what Israel has been facing over the last 8 years, the scenes you are currently seeing in the mid-east would have been repeated in the streets of Belfast.
As for the British Army, don’t make me laugh. Do you really think you’re better than us? Ever heard of the Hadasa convoy? During Israel’s War of Independence, Jerusalem was besieged by Palestinian forces and Israeli convoys used to run the gauntlet of making the way to the city in steel plated buses and trucks. Of roughly 130 convoys only about 35 made it through. In April 1948, a convoy of doctors and nurses tried to reach Hadasa hospital on mount Scopius (I may have the Latin name wrong). The convoy was ambushed, surrounded and then almost annihilated. 80 people were killed. How is this relevant? Because it attack took place under a British garrison, where a Scottish regiment sat by and did absolutely nothing for several hours while the killing was going on. There’s more where that came from, of course. All that Britain has in its favor is that it has been in relative peace for some 50 years now.

skytheRE: Israel vs Palestine
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-04-02 AT 12:57 PM (GMT)]The Ktziot prison was closed after the Oslo Accords were signed, when it was thought that Israeli concessions would be met by some sort of reciprocal move on the Palestinian side and that the place would no longer be needed. No such luck. It was indeed criticized by Amnesty International for poor living conditions, but to suggest that “many” were killed by the heat and scorpions (highly trained Mossad assassins) is simply incorrect.
Most nations want Israel to stop its operations? Good for them, so what? The US still maintains an embargo against Cuba which most nations want lifted. Japan should open up its markets to more foreign imports, most nations want Australia to lift restriction on immigration and “Fortress Europe” isn”t too popular either. Decision-making is not a popularity contest. Sovereignty means nations get to their our own decisions. The world condemned our bombing of the Iraqi nuclear plant in 1981; the US even froze F-16 deliveries for a while. I think history has shown us who were right in that regard.
> 3rd: The Israeli Army itself admited that there had been around 500
> civilan casualities during the operation.
The previous two were debatable, but this is absolute BS. The IDF admitted no such thing. Like the stories of the Italian priest killed by IDF troops a week ago, or the IDF use of depleted uranium and poison gas, like the tales of deliberate spreading of Mad Cow Disease or sterilizing candy, of faking pictures of Palestinians celebrating after 9/11 (which was, of course, orchestrated by us), of our “plan” to raze the mosques on the Temple Mount, of our role in the spread of AIDS in the Arab world, of mass summary executions, of our repeated attempt to kill Yasser Arafat over the last month, of our role in the assassination of our Tourism Minister Ze’evi, etc, etc, etc. – This is just another example of Palestinian propaganda which Europeans are ever too eager to gobble up. Rather funny actually, one would think Europeans would know blood libels when they see them. After all, they invented them. I mean, the story of Jews using human blood for Passover was so successful, it is still alive today – just look at my previous post.
