A Delta flight was aborted at Logan when one of the passengers threatened the well being of the plane and its passengers.

All passengers are safe and off the plane.

EDIT. Some good news for a change........a pharm. company has found a large batch of smallpox vaccine locked away in one of its vaults. The find means we have adequate smallpox vaccine should there be a bioterrorist attack.

>Z, I think he's a loose cannon and shoots from the hip. On top of that, he is angry. I worry when there is that kind of combination. It can be worse than the actions of a tyrant. Nonetheless, the Israelis think that's what they need right now.

Point 1 is correct. Point 2 is also correct, but who wouldn't be angry in his situation?

>I've looked it over briefly.....to me,the two sticklers are the "fair solution" and vacating Gaza and the West Bank....only the second one do I see as a deal breaker. I imagine the first one is a throwaway put in by the Arabs expressly for that purpose.

As far as Gaza goes, it's gone, and Israel doesn't want it. The West Bank is a bit more tricky, because there are parts of it that if given away would make Israel extraordinarily vulnerable to attacks from the East.

>Why do you see it as the end of Israel?

Israel's a democracy. If there were more Arab citizens than Jewish citizens, it'd no longer be a Jewish state. That's exactly what the Arabs are going for.
