...with tanks and invasions alone that Israel avenges Ze'evi's death. Beyond the five cell members it connects to the hit, Israel holds responsible Zibri's replacement as P.F.L.P. chief, Ahmed Saadat, and the man it believes is the head of P.F.L.P. military operations, Shadi...
...part of the human condition; the rational practice of international politics is always at the mercy of the irrational, of people (or nations) with a passionate sense of the rightness of their cause and the perfidy of their enemies.

In the days since the first-ever assassination of a cabinet minister by a Palestinian, Arafat has not sufficiently cooperated with Israel in tracking down, arresting and handing over the suspects...
