Palestinian security chief, Interior Minister Abdel Razak Yehiyeh, said he told leaders of Palestinian groups,
including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, to "stop the suicide bombings, stop the murders for no reason."

"Children were exploited for these attacks," Yehiyeh said. Several of the bombers were teenagers.

Palestinian intellectuals recently published a statement calling for a halt to bombings, saying they harm the
Palestinian cause.

internal progress is sweeter than talks hosted by third parties. the political climate appears to be softening and
more palestinian notables feel safer to express the obvious.

Palestinian security chief denounces suicide bombings
If all he did was denounce the bombings, his words would have been meaningless. But he went one step farther and called for an end to the bombings, which he appropriately referred to as "murders for no reason." The more you sideline the Araft, the more you will realize that they are a lot of moderate Palestinian voices.

Interesting read. Just further proof to me that if you get rid of Arafat there may actually be a chance for honest dialog and peace between them and Israel. Of course that's when the end of the world is coming but oh well.....I still think we have time for one last spin around the whizz bowl........
