Arouri recently plotted at least two very ambitious but foiled operations: an August effort to topple the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and this past week multiple operations against "Israeli destinations in the West Bank, … an attack on Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, and an attack on the light rail train in the capital." So far, the Israelis have limited their protests to suggesting that this is not the way a NATO ally should behave.
The claim of Hamas planning destruction from its Istanbul base needs to be investigated by the U.S. government and, if found accurate, the Republic of Turkey then placed on the "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list. There, it will join the beautiful company of Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. (November 28, 2014) |
