It looks as if Palestine is falling apart. All of the sudden they are fighting themselves. One terrorist's house was blown up, and Israel has yet to admit they did it, something they are usually quick to do, and it's entirely possible it was blown up by other Palestinians who are, perhaps, fed up with the road Arafat has led them down. The terrorist inside that was wounded was supposedly handling an explosive device when the house blew up, so even if it was Israel who did it, they are pretty well justified.

The Prime Minister, Ahmed Qorei, has twice tried to resign, and Arafat has refused to recognize the resignations. Qorei seems to be sick of trying to do a job that Arafat won't let him do, mainly bring peace to the territories. It's in Arafat's best interest to continue the violence, because as soon as peace occurs, he loses a lot of power and influence, and most importantly, income.

There are two different people claiming to be the security chief for Gaza. This will probably lead to more infighting. I almost wish Israel would move up on their plan to completely remove themselves from the Palestinian territories. I want to see what happens when they give Arafat what he says he wants, which is Israel out. At least that's what he tells the west he wants. When he talks in arabic it seems to be more along the lines of, " All Jews dead."

So what does all this mean? Who knows, but it's a busy time over there, and it will be interesting to watch the developments. Hopefully no more Jews over there will die simply for being Jewish.
