Sharon answers cease-fire offer with carnage
Rabin-Pelosof resigns from the government

Less than twenty-four hours ago, the Hamas leader Sheikh Ahamad Yassin made an
unprecedented public call for a cease-fire with Israel. That call was the culmination of long, patient negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas leadership, aimed at achieving a ceasefire between the Palestinians and Israel, putting an end to suicide bombings and paving the way to a resumption of some kind of political process

Saudi Arabia, too, is known to have made direct approaches to the Hamas leaders
in order to achieve the same result.

A government of Israel caring even a little bit for the well-being of its own citizens would have welcomed the opening. Not so the Sharon Government, whose response was to send an F-16 fighter plane on a bombing spree in Gaza. The effect of attempting to assassinate a senior Hamas leader was a carnage whose victims included many women and children.

Now, instead of offers of ceasefire the Hamas leadership is coming out with calls for revenge, which seems to suit Sharon much better. It is the PM, with his endless string of provocations, who bears the responsibility for this missed opportunity of ending the cycle of bloodshed.

Deputy Defence Minister Dalia Rabin-Pelosof resigned this evening, charging the Sharon government with destroying the life work of the late Yitzchak Rabin, her father.

Well done Arik. When your enemy uses civilians as human shields you can expect civilian casulaties.

Stop murdering Jews and the bloodshed will stop. The Arabs need to learn that Judea and Samaria are Jewish lands and not Arab. When they finally get the message, they can live in peace and prosperity under an Israeli government.

Peace will only come when the enemy is totally defeated. Keep it going Ariel and defeat the enemy so there will be peace and a united Israel.

I know I am fascist imperial aggressor and a fucking jew but what the heck I could call you names too!

The Palestinian people will never be defeated, Sharon is leading the Israeli people up a blind alley. If he seriously thinks that killing children will lead to a "VICTORY" for the Zionists, he should consult a shrink.

Israel is winning. Arafat is finished, the terror gangs will be extracated and the rest of the phantom Palestinian people can go back to being Arabs under Israeli rule, or occupation. Do not care what the anti jews like to call it. Democratic Arabs do not exist so a Palestinian State will never come into being. As prophecies of the bible suggest Israel will be untied under ZION. But the Indy leftists are all aethiests so the biblical truth is irrelivant. Don't count on it! Guys. Faith and truth is stronger than anarchy and communism. History is on the side of the jews and Zionists.

Lalric you've shown yourself as a bigoted hate monger unwilling to see the difference between criticism of the Israeli state and anti semitism.

Now we get to the good jibbering nonsense
"As prophecies of the bible suggest Israel will be untied under ZION"

You're insane. As is the fact that some toothless hermit scrawled his dream onto a dried goatskin is justification for the slaughter of innocents.

Lalric one last time "Condemnation of the brutal assault of the IDF is not anti semitism". "Criticism of the Israeli state is not antisemtism" "Sympathising with the Palestinians is not anti semitism"

You're insane Lalric don't make us think you're stupid as well

You have got more in common with Adolf than you might realise, he approved of ethnic cleansing and so obviously, do you. The appalling crimes committed by the Sharon regime bear a strong resemblence to those of the Nazis, given what happened in Europe during WW2, this is surely the ultimate irony.
