You said...." Interesting that lately we do not hear any such suicide bombings from the Al Aqsa brigade which is an offshoot of Arafat's PLO.".....

You mean by this statement that you now agree that arafat is and has been in the past responsible for the murders committed by homicide bombers.?

Thsi is very similar to the situation between Arafat and the Hamas/Islamic Jihad.

I tend to think that the gathering of Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon, is a show of strength to Israel. If Chairman Arafat does unite the fighters, IMO Hezbollah wants to make sure that Israel does not take advantage of the situation by attacking the Palestinians.

IMO, America should, and will warn Israel not to attack the Palestinians if they announce a cease-fire.

I also believe that if the militant groups announce a cease-fire, they will honor, and strictly enforce it. I think their sense of personal honor demands that they keep their word.
