The al-Aqsa Brigades have fired one rocket with a chemical warhead.If this is true, and the Palestinians are resorting to chemical weapons, then they have lost all reason and any hope of a Palestinian state. Out of pure self-defence, the Israelis will drive the lot of them clean out of their borders.
This isn't the first time this sort of pathological arrogance bordering on mass suicide has taken hold of an entire people. The Plains Indians suffered from it, as did the Imperial Chinese under the last Manchus and the Japanese in the last war. And it wasn't pretty then either.
Update: In related events, Palestinian terrorists claim to have executed an 18-year old Israeli hostage and the IDF are rounding up Hamas cabinet ministers and members of parliament.

The Palestinians have been courting suicide by cop for decades now. Having the Soviet Union as a patron meant they could get away with it (plus Europe's moral [if that's the word] support). As this no longer applies they're going to find out, hopefully, that there is a limit to what the Israelis will tolerate.
I've readt that the Palestinians are in the same position the IRA was vis a vis Margaret Thatcher. She had to be lucky every time, whereas they only had to be lucky once. Of course that overlooks the fact that the Palis can only get away with their provocations so long as the Israelis allow them to.
