We would like to warn the governments of Syria and Lebanon to stop the provocation," Danny Ayalon, the foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said. "We have been very restrained, but they must understand enough is enough." Israeli soldiers met heavy resistance in Nablus and Jenin, two heavily populated Palestinian cities that have put up a fierce resistance. As of last night, both sides were reporting heavier casualties than at any point in the eight-day conflict. The Palestinian fighters "have their backs against the walls," Brig. Gen. Eyal Shlein told Israel Radio. "We trapped them in there [and] attacked them with the intention they should surrender. "Those that don't surrender, we will kill them," he said. Residents of Jenin said there were bodies in the streets and heavy smoke in the air. Ambulances have been halted by Israeli soldiers, whose tanks also have cut electricity and water to most of the city. The Israeli army said 12 soldiers have been killed in two days of combat, which includes street shootouts, house-to-house searches for bomb-making facilities and sweeps for Palestinians suspected of terrorist activity. "This is not fighting between armies, but a massacre in Jenin camp," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said yesterday on CNN, comparing the situation to the 1982 massacre of hundreds of Pakestinians in Lebanese refugee camps Sabra and Shatila. The Palestinians appealed to the United Nations and aid organizations to intervene. Israeli officials said they are moving deliberately, resisting a massive use of force in an effort to limit civilian casualties. Israeli civilian and military officials also said that, despite international pressure to withdraw from the autonomous Palestinian territories, they will not do so until they are satisfied that they have uprooted terrorist organizations. "We said that four weeks is the minimum to uproot terror," said Mr. Ayalon. "When we did half-jobs [and] relied on [Palestinian leader Yasser] Arafat, the situation deteriorated." Secretary of State Colin L. Powell is tentatively scheduled to arrive in Jerusalem on Friday, after stops in Morocco and Europe. The U.S. mediator for the region, Gen. Anthony Zinni, remains there.

hdl. You said..." do gooders don't support terrorism and don't oppose fighting terrorism ".... I disagree. The do gooders whether intentional on unintentional do provide support for terrorists. Protestors who openly support arafat do help to provide international support for terrorists, the whiners worried about the scum in cuba provide support for terrorists, legal people who twist laws and words to keep illegal immigrants in our countries provide support for terrorists.
