With all the things floating around the Net about Chalibi's perfidy, here's a thought.

What if the Iranians wanted to get rid of Chalibi? And knew their code was broken? Nice way to do it.

re: Intifada is over: Nice to hear. I don't see any reason for the Israelis to get out of their faces until somebody offers to keep the peace. Sharif's "security for Israel can only be achieved at the negotiating table. When we get the right to live, then we’ll give them the right. Israel wants a leadership of spies, of yes-men," he goes on, adding that Arafat "says he’d prefer to die a hundred times than to be a collaborator." doesn't sound like an attractive offer as far as Israel is concerned. So, the current situation will continue a while longer. Until something else changes.

Meantime, it was an interesting walk down memory lane. Interesting to learn Thabet Thabet was indeed funding the Qata'ab network. When the Israelis killed him, boy did the NY Times and Haaretz go on about the horrible mistake, how the Israelis had whacked a peace partner, etc.

The article didn't begin to list how many members of the Khouli family suffered for being accused collabators in death of Karmi. As I recall, it was six: brother-in-law dead, husband hiding in Israel, wife dead, son tortured, neice dead, nephew beaten. At least that was what was reported.

It's not true that Israel invaded all the cities of the West Bank in 2002. They never went into Jericho, because Jericho never joined the intifada. There was a local deal: quiet for quiet. The same deal that Israel is trying to make in various locations now.
