In a Deadly Day, Israelis Kill 36 After An Arab Kills 5

What you are allowed to think and what you do think are two different things, aren't they? That's another way of saying that this forum may be NSFW, if your boss is a Republican. A liberal won't fire you for it, but they'll laugh at you in the break room and you may not get promoted. Unless you're an engineer, of course, in which your obsession with facing reality is not actually a career-disabling disability.

Gaza City, March 8 -- On the deadliest day in 17 months of fighting, Israeli forces killed at least 36 Palestinians today with fire from land, sea and air after five Israeli teenagers died in a Palestinian's suicidal rampage through a settlement south of here.

The foreign ministers of 22 Arab nations called for international intervention "to stop Israeli aggression that has no excuse or justification," on a day that one of them, Prince Saud al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia, called Black Friday.

Funerals were held throughout the Gaza Strip, where 16 Palestinians, most of them armed, died in one savage firefight with Israeli forces. Young boys ran through the streets here behind a lofted corpse, waving the green, black and yellow flags of the Palestinian factions and calling for revenge.

In Amman, Jordan, thousands of Palestinian refugees rallied, chanting, "Bin Laden, hit Tel Aviv!"

As the killing surged throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon made a tentative gesture toward diplomacy: He said on Israeli television this evening that he was dropping his demand for an absolute calm lasting seven days before undertaking an American-brokered cease-fire plan. His goal, he said, was to negotiate a cease-fire.

With his public restive and his government sharply divided, Mr. Sharon appeared to be moving aggressively in two directions, making an overture for talks even as Israel intensified its military campaign throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

"Negotiations to stop the shooting will be held under fire," Mr. Sharon said.

Palestinian leaders tonight dismissed his announcement as a diversion from the day's violence.

"There was nothing new here," said Saeb Erekat, the Palestinians' chief negotiator. "He's trying to confuse people."
