I've been all over the West Bank and Arab-Israeli towns this week and things are pretty calm right now. Don't know what Hamas is up to in Gaza. The Palestinian government has been keeping things calm in the West Bank by cracking down on terrorists and many checkpoints have been removed by Israel. Let's hope Israeli citizens don't pay with their lives for the removal of the checkpoints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960732812801813184.post-58904041614959580952009-06-07T00:07:36.019-06:002009-06-07T00:07:36.019-06:00Benanjeri Netanyahu, self-styled leader of the ODI...Benanjeri Netanyahu, self-styled leader of the ODIME<br />(Only Democracy in the Middle East), is planning another democratic assault on Gaza’s women and children shortly.
