"They were not engaged in establishing a state but in preparing to destroy the State of Israel"

A quote by an Israeli Cabinet member, commenting on Arafat's role in the terrorist activities against Israel.

A comprehensive analysis by Uzi Benziman in Haaretz

haaretz.co.il

Excerpt:

"reports submitted by the defense minister and the chief of staff, who expressed astonishment at the scale of involvement of the leaders of the Palestinian administration in terrorist activity against Israel. According to the emerging picture, Ramallah functioned as the terrorist headquarters, Tul Karm and Qalqilyah as the training and staging sites, and Nablus and Jenin as the operational spearhead. Senior Palestinian Authority officials, from Arafat down (including the head of West Bank preventive security, Jibril Rajoub) took part in implementing the terror campaign. In the words of cabinet minister Natan Sharansky, "They were not engaged in establishing a state but in preparing to destroy the State of Israel."

As of yesterday morning, more than 2,000 people had been arrested, of whom 400 were identified as being on Israel's "wanted list" and about 100 with "blood on their hands." The scale of the weaponry that was found is evidence of a systematic effort and of high capability to attack Israel and disrupt normal life in the country. "
