MY SHARONA IS WRONGA



Poor old Ariel Sharon. His stupid plan to bring the ultra-liberal self-loathing Labour Party into his Government - when the Israeli electorate rejected it so thoroughly at the polls last time round - deserved to be rejected by his fellow Likud party members. The prospect of serial Palestinain apologist Shimon Peres back in power horrifies me! Sharon is now well out of step with public opinion and will pay the electoral consequences. Not one millimetre (or inch) of ancient Jewish land should be handed over the terrorist godfather Arafat. Sharon should focus on some of the progress he has made in dealing with Arafat instead of trying to curry favour with US State.



The ever alert Stephen Plaut makes a great point when he says,



"The simple fact of the matter is that no physical barrier yet really stands between Israeli cities and the terrorists. So why the sharp drop off in suicide bombings and similar attacks against Israeli civilians?The answer is the other major change in policy by Sharon. Sharon ordered the Israeli military and intelligence services to liquidate the leaders of the terrorist organizations, other than Arafat and his immediate sidekicks. Lower PLO officials and military commanders of all the terror squads have been hit and killed, over and over. Just last week, Israeli troops decapitated all three main terrorist organizations (or what the CNN and BBC call "militants and activists") operating out of the West Bank city of Nablus, this in an operation resembling the climax of a Godfather movie. Israel also repeatedly killed the heads of the "Hamas" movement, which was left in such desperation that it refused even to name its next chief, lest he be targeted as well."
