FACTS VS. DREAMS
Abu Mazen's Voice of Palestine Radio reported the murder of seven-year-old Noam Leibovitch by terrorists as follows:
Anchorman, Nizar al-Ghul opened his Wednesday morning 7:30 am morning news round-up by citing the Israeli "invasion" of Qalqilyeh. In the third sentence of his report he cited "the death by shooting of a female Israeli settler" [Arabic: "Maqtal 'ala rasass mustawtinna isra'iliyya"]...
There was no mention of official Palestinian condemnation of the murder nor even vague disapproval of the timing of the attack.
During the 8 am Wednesday morning news bulletin, Voice of Palestine, after detailing Israeli military actions and Palestinian diplomatic activities for seven minutes, noted that "an Israeli female child was killed and another wounded in an armed attack near Qalqilyeh."
The description of Israeli military acts included a full inventory of tanks and other weapons deployed. There was still no hint of condemnation nor disapproval of the shooting murder of the 7-year-old. Again at 8:10, the number one VOP anchorman Nizar al Ghul referred... to "the death by shooting of a female settler."
Remind me again, why is the holocaust denying, Olympics terror mastermind, Abu Mazen preferable to Yasser Arafat?
Because Bush/Powell say that he is the untainted by terror head of a freely elected PA government.
This government is actively dismantling the terror infrastructure and taking care of the few killers that oppose peace.
Do you still have any doubts?

As the news shows, even a seven year old child, who, incidentally, lived within the 1967, is considered a "settler" by the Palestinian Arabs.
