“The Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, would turn over more territory to the Palestinians and accept an independent Palestinian state if elected to a third term, according to a draft platform of Mr Sharon’s Kadima party released yesterday.”
Sharon has not become a peace-maker, however. His definition of a Palestinian state is both inadequate and contradictory:
“But it still falls short of Palestinian demands, as Mr Sharon wants to keep control over all of Jerusalem, and has said he wants to retain large blocs of West Bank settlements. Yesterday Israel announced plans to expand two settlements there despite a ban on such construction in the US-led plan for peace with the Palestinians.”
While West Bank settlements continue to expand and checkpoints make life next to impossible for many occupied Palestinians, the SMH headline-writer clearly needs to read more widely than the syndicated news feeds.
You have to hand it to the “Palestinians.” What cheek! As if they have any legitimate right to make “demands.” They should thank their lucky stars that it was Israel they were dealing with post-WW2. Any other nation would have sent the “Palestinians” packing decades ago!
Put collective guilt and a bunch of self haters together… What are ya gonna do?
Looks like the SMH has embedded “journalists” also. - “Sharon may be ready to accept an independent Palestinian state”. Wow, the Pali’s must feel especially blessed, the great man may be ready to accept…
“The 77-year-old was released from hospital last Tuesday and remained at home for several days. Doctors said he was fit and would make a complete recovery.”
Only the good die young.
So much for you. Unfortunately, there has never been a “great” man on the Palestinian side.
If you count terrorists and war criminals, then both Israel and Palesitine are one a piece.
Not so.

“Not so.”
Yet another stunning scholarly rebuttal.
Took you 4 days to troll this thread? Eddie, are you still drunk? Nothing better to do and your hand has blisters?
