<<Israel does not really expect Arafat to control the violence. Crippling
the Palestinian police and keeping Arafat hostage is done to make it
impossible for him to do anything, so they can then "prove" that he does not
want peace. That, in turn, can then be used to justify further Israeli
aggression.>>

He didn't prevent terrorist attack, so we do it by ourselves. <SHRUG>. And
pretty successfully - no dead civilians for about a week! Also some very
interesting documents were found in Arafat's office. Documents connecting
him to several terrorist attacks, which he codmemned.
