Sharon: Expelling Arafat not 'good for Israel'

[Herschel]

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a leading newspaper that expelling Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat "would not be good for Israel" although he still considers Arafat to be an impediment to peace.

"The likelihood of expelling without harming him is low," Sharon told the Jerusalem Post. "The opinion of our intelligence services is that expelling him would not be a good idea."

Sharon added that Israel's position not to expel Arafat is not new. "Our calculations for years have been that expelling him would not be good for Israel."...

So the old warrior was just rattling the weasel's cage. If Arafat could kill Sharon, would he? I think you know the amswer.

1. If he's serious about "removing" Arafat...

which he isn't, since most reactionary right-wingers need something to blame everything on, he'll kill him, not expel him.

That was rather clear.

btw, the proper term is war criminal.
