Israel lashed out yesterday at the "hypocrisy" of the international community and UN Security Council over its threats to expel Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, but vowed it would not give in to the criticism.

"When it comes to defending a terrorist like Yasser Arafat the world mobilises, but when women and children are killed in the streets of Israel, the UN Security Council is silent - it's hypocrisy," a senior Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"Despite this unjustified criticism, Israel will not modify the decision taken in principle Thursday by the security cabinet to remove Yasser Arafat at an opportune moment," he said.

That is it in a nutshell. I've said this a zillion times and will say a quintillion times more, the Palestinians target civilians in buses, cafes, and during Seder dinners. The Israelis respond to the terror, but target only militants who send their youth to hell as homicide bombers. The Israelis have every right, as does the US to take the battle to the enemy that targets it's civilian population. Period.
