Peace is at hand

Jihad leader: 'Calm' is over heads the Jerusalem Post. Good thing too that the Post puts scare quotes around the 'calm'. It was NEVER calm, ever since Arafat declared war on Israel in 2000.

The period of calm is over and the Palestinians should be prepared to resume their attacks on Israel, a senior Islamic Jihad leader in the Gaza Strip declared on Tuesday.

"We maintain the right to respond to the crimes of (Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon," said Khaled al-Batsh, responding to Israel's killing of a top Islamic Jihad activist near Jenin.

What does surprise me from the post is this "Islamic Jihad activist" crap. Islamic Jihad has no activists, only the British press and Haaretz refer to Jewmurderers that way.

Anyway. It's war. Oh, I forgot. It's been that way - officially - since 1948. So nothing new there.
