President Bush laid out very clear conditions for Palestinian Arabs to meet, in order to merit US support for a Palestinian state. Five weeks after Bush’s speech, how are they doing?

Take a wild guess.

I. “Dismantle the Terrorist Infrastructure”

What They Must Do: President Bush said that the Palestinian Arabs must “engage in a sustained fight against the terrorists and dismantle their infrastructure.” Those terms were previously defined in the Oslo and Wye accords as including arresting and imprisoning terrorists; shutting down bomb factories; seizing terrorists’ weapons; extraditing terrorists to Israel; punishing factions of the PLO that engage in terrorism; and outlawing terrorist groups.

What They Did During Week #5:

A. No Terrorists Arrested: There were no reports of terrorists being arrested or imprisoned.

B. No Terrorists Extradited: The PA continued to ignore Israel’s 45 requests for the extradition of terrorists.

C. No Terror Groups Outlawed: The PA did not outlaw Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, or any other terrorist groups.

D. No Terrorists’ Weapons Seized: There were no reports of the PA seizing terrorists’ weapons.

E. No Closing of Bomb Factories: There were no reports of the PA shutting down any bomb factories. By contrast, Israeli forces discovered and destroyed three rocket-producing factories in Gaza on July 25.

F. No Punishing of PLO Terror Factions: There were no reports of the PLO leadership punishing PLO factions that are engaged in terrorism, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).

G. New Terrorist Attacks: Throughout Week #5, Israeli forces were engaged in “Operation Determined Stand,” resulting in a sharp decrease in terrorist attacks. Nevertheless, there were at least 35 terrorist attacks or attempted attacks, in which 5 people were murdered and 8 wounded:

July 22-23: Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers near the Kissufim junction…Shooting and firebomb attack on Israeli soldiers in Tulkarm…Eight mortar attacks on Jewish neighborhoods in Gaza…Shooting attack on Israeli Army position at the Tarmit Outpost in Rafiah…Bomb discovered and dismantled in Tel Aviv…Grenade attack on the Tarmit Outpost…Kassam rockets fired at Sderot…Shooting attack on an Israeli motorist near Ma’aleh Levonah; two Israelis wounded.

July 24: Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers near Ganim; two wounded…Fatah shooting attack near Paduel; one murdered, one wounded.

July 25: Two Kassam rockets fired at a Jewish neighborhood in Gaza…Mortars fired at Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

July 26: Fatah shooting attack on motorists south of Hebron; four murdered, two wounded…Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers searching for bomb factories in Gaza.

July 27: Mortars fired at the town of Netzer Hazani and another Jewish neighborhood in Gaza…Attack on Israeli soldiers south of Jenin; one wounded…Shooting attack on Israeli soldiers patrolling near Kibbutz Sasa…

July 28: Attack on the funeral procession of the four Israelis murdered on July 26…Woman terrorist intercepted west of Jenin on her way to carry out a suicide attack… Attack on motorists traveling near Karmei Tzur…An Israeli bus near Netzarim was hit and heavily damaged by Hamas’s new “Al Bana” anti-tank missile.

July 29: Mortars fired at Jewish neighborhoods in central and northern Gaza Strip…Shooting attack on Israeli motorists passing Halhoul, near Hebron…A terrorist was intercepted on his way to carry out a suicide attack near Kfar Saba…A suicide bomber and three accomplices were captured in Burkin, east of Tel Aviv, as they were preparing to carry out an attack…Mortars fired at Neve Dekalim…Shooting and grenade attack on Israeli soldiers near Rafiah.

And that’s just the first condition.
