Palestinian Seethe-O-Meter Hits Eleven at UN

Today at the United Nations, Arafat’s cronies raved for hours about how Israel should let down her guard and let the bombers in. Fat chance, losers. Israel Challenged to Tear Down Barrier.

UNITED NATIONS - The Palestinians challenged Israel on Monday to accept the world court’s ruling and destroy the barrier it is building to seal off the West Bank, warning that failure to do so will lead to “practical measures” against its construction.

Nasser Al-Kidwa, the Palestinian U.N. observer, said he wouldn’t specify the measures the Palestinians will seek against the barrier.

Following Friday’s opinion by the International Court of Justice, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Sunday ordered construction of the barrier to continue and vowed “to fight using all diplomatic and legal means” against the court’s decision.

Al-Kidwa expressed hope that Israel will recognize that the ruling offers a chance to end the current “quagmire” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and move toward a negotiated comprehensive peace based on the rule of law and a two-state solution along pre-1967 borders.

“Frankly, we remain hopeful in spite of the hysteric initial reactions by some Israeli quarters, and frankly my advice to some of them … is to be careful,” Al-Kidwa told a news conference.

“The bottom line is this. If Israel does not comply with its obligations as determined in the advisory opinion, it will become officially, judicially, an outlaw,” he warned.
