As the clock ticks down to the fateful day of reckoning that faces Israel, and the world in regards to the uprooting of thousands of Jewish residents in their biblical homeland of Gaza, and the northern Shomron, Jerusalem becomes more in focus as the next target of worldwide aspirations.

"We say to the entire world: Today Gaza, tomorrow Jerusalem. Today Gaza, and tomorrow the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital."

These are the words of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei Wednesday while addressing PA forces in the Gaza Strip. He also announced to the press that Israels withdrawal must be followed by the same action in the west bank (biblically known as Judea and Samaria) and East Jerusalem.

This announcement is certainly nothing new and was Yassir Arafat's mantra with Mahmoud Abbas and Qurie at his side throughout his reign of terror.
