Apparently, the Lebanon Daily Star was right to fear that Israel would act with impugnity after the WTC and Pentagon attacks: The Israeli army staged its largest and deadliest incursion to date into Palestinian territory yesterday, entering the West Bank city of Jenin and two adjacent villages, where 11 Palestinians were reported killed. The Israeli Ministry of Defense spokesman stated, "Maybe the world has been uncomfortable with our tactics, and didn't like what we were doing too much. Maybe they will be more comfortable with our tactics now."
I don't know that the world will be more "comfortable" with the tactics, no ... but I don't expect any comment, either.
