...plan in principle. "There is an opportunity, despite the pain," Barak pleaded. Israel wouldn't swallow all of Clinton's ideas, he assured his cabinet. "I will not sign an agreement that transfers sovereignty on the [Temple] Mount to the Palestinians," the Prime Minister insisted. His army chief, Lieut. General Shaul Mofaz, also warned the cabinet that "there are a lot of gaps in the American plan," the most worrisome of which was how Israel's eastern border would be protected from a Palestinian state that would still have to be considered at least potentially hostile. An Israeli military source...
Late last Monday, Lieut. Colonel Yossi Mor peered through the 3-in.-thick bulletproof glass on the guard tower at Rachel's Tomb. The Jewish holy site had been under fire from three sides for four hours. Bullets slammed into the glass, bludgeoning it with starfish cracks, like ice on a pond. Mor spotted a muzzle flash from the Tanzim next to Aida's main mosque, 300 yds. away. "They want to make me hit the mosque and get the people more fired up," he thought at the time.

...point to the incredible disparity in casualties--more than 100 dead Palestinians versus six dead Israelis--as an outrage. Worse atrocities than the Ramallah lynchings have been committed before in the conflict, on both sides, but never on film. "Morally, we had to retaliate," said Israeli military chief Lieut. General Shaul Mofaz. "It was a supreme commandment even." In preparing his attack, Mofaz worked from a list of 30 possible targets, all facilities of the Palestinian Authority. Among them was Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. On a 30-in. flat screen next to his desk, Mofaz checked the live reconnaissance...
