  Still want to believe that there is no ethical or moral difference between the free, democratic, pluralistic, market-based state of Israel and the terrorist-sponsoring Palestinian leadership? Read this urlLink New York Times piece: In recent days, the members of the [Palestinian] Al-Za'nin clan have seen members of the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade, an armed [terrorist] branch of Yasir Arafat's Fatah organization, using their olive and orange groves and the roads nearby for launching sites. This morning, when the four brigade militants returned to try to set down a launcher along the road running in front of the Al-Za'nin house, the family members spoke up in anger. ... According to Amna Al-Za'nin, the 35-year-old aunt of the boy who was killed, members of the family including three of her nephews argued with four militants, but the militants ignored their appeals. As the argument grew more heated, she said, three of the militants started firing in the air. One though fired off several shots directly at the family. Miss Al-Za'nin herself was struck in the back , an 18-year-old nephew was struck in the ear, and a 20-year-old nephew was struck in the hand. But one nephew, Hassan Al- Za'nin, 15 years old, was hit in the back and taken to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where he died.
Doctors at the hospital said the bullet penetrated the boy's heart. "Even if we ask them not to fire from our land, that doesn't give them permission to shoot at us," Miss Al Za'nin said in a telephone interview from her bed at Alawdah Hospital in Jabalia in the northern Gaza strip. "It's very painful that a Palestinian bullet was directed toward a Palestinian chest. " ... "This is part of a growing trend where residents are exasperated with gunmen," one [Israeli] official said. "We saw it in Rafah where people were angry at the militants building tunnels under their houses.
And in Nablus, where the residents weren't sorry that we were arresting the bad guys in their neighborhood . " Would this wholesale slaughter of an innocent, Palestinian family have occurred if urlLink The Wall -- a perfectly legal, reasonable and moral tool of Israeli self-defense, had been fully completed?&nbsp; Maybe, maybe not.&nbsp; But without the wall, and with Arafat in charge of his terrorist "organization," it is an absolute certainty that there will be more innocent Palestinians murdered by their own "leaders" using terrorism, allegedly on their behalf.
