Is Sharon trying to incite suicide bombings?
September 9th, 2003


It has been almost three weeks since Israeli helicopter gun-ships
assassinated Hamas leader, Ismail Abu Shanab formally ending the shaky
ceasefire sustaining the US-backed peace plan.

The fact that the ceasefire was littered with Israeli violations,
including 16 killings of innocent Palestinians, barely made the news.

The fact that Israel has continued its siege and military closure of the
West Bank and Gaza, maintained its policies of assassinations, home
demolitions, military checkpoints, the building of illegal settlements,
the uprooting of trees, the seizure of land and the horrific
construction of an Apartheid wall, actions that completely violate the
Road Map, have also been largely ignored. As will the 17 Palestinian
deaths of the last three weeks, through extra-judicial assassinations,
along with those of a further six Palestinians randomly targeted by
trigger happy Israeli soldiers, including 3 children. There will be
little coverage of all of this in the world’s press, that is of course
until the next young Palestinian, downright desperate with the situation
in which he, his friends and his family find themselves in, and, filled
with hatred of the Israeli occupier, he walks into a busy street café,
or steps on board a crowded bus, and blows himself up.

1. Yes. This has been his strategy since before coming to power.

He and Hamas/Hezbollah have the same goals: keep the cycle of violence going, prevent productive peace talks, prevent an agreement that serve most in the region but mean giving up on partisan demands.

2. Sharon is nothing but a gangster and a thug. He NEEDS violence.

Without it, he has nothing with which to stay in office.

While I deplore the violence enacted by the radical Palestinian groups, I find Ariel Sharon to be the vilest person in the entire grand tragedy. He is a butcher who should be in prison rather than at the head of a supposed democratic state.

5. Look at who Eggs Sharon ON

Robertson, Falwell, every TV Preacher is urging him on and on in his insatiable blood lust.

They want Armageddon and they don't care how many Jews and Palestininas die so Jesus will return.

EARTH TO TV PREACHERS...

Jesus remembers what was done to him the first time. He's NOT coming back, PERIOD!

3. United States is as guilty as Sharon

The US doesn't have much time for the step child of the middle east.

4. The "Road Map" calls for a Palestinian state.

Does anyone actually believe that Sharon would permit such a thing, let alone work towards it?
