Reply #11: They've done it before, don't rule out their doing it again

Yassir Arafat set up shop in S. Lebanon back in the late seventies, early eighties, and was pulling this exact same shit. The Israelis went after him at the same time the US convinced Jordan to pull the financial rug out from under him, and Yassir and crew had to haul ass back to Jordan, tail between legs, while the tanks rolled into the "Green Zone."

They stayed there for close to twenty YEARS. The only reason they left is because they were sick of having the odd soldier shot in the occupation zone, and the Israeli population favored putting up a fence and leaving them to their own devices.

Hell, they only withdrew what, five, six years ago???
