    I have a great admiration for Rabin because he had the courage to talk and to seek a way out of the spiral of violence. Sharon is just reaping the results of his own actions. It is indeed easy to talk from the outside but then again we can talk without much emotional problems. Do you really think that waging war on the Palestinians like Sharon is doing now will solve the situation ?

      by "not funny" i mean he should not have say this. Its not a common-sense thing to say. You cant compare anybody to hitler. He was a pure racist murder. There is nobody like him. - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

      Pol Pot ? Anyway, Sharon may not be Hitler yet but he's getting there slowly but surely. PS : tell me, a long while ago footage was shown of Israeli soldiers breaking Palestian boys' arms with rocks. What is the military purpose of this ? Does it stop terrorism ?

The last few days we had about 8 bombs. Every bomb like that is tenth's of wounded (which usually some of them die later) and death. And I do see their pain. They have no country, no work, no nothing. But we cant just give them our land so they will be happy. think about that.

                    They never stated they wanted all. They want Jerusalem (or part of it) which apparently Israel is not prepared to share.

So way did Sharon declare him irrelevant. That was possibly the stupidest move he ever made. Sharon is letting his personal hate for Arafat rule his decisions and both Israel & the Palistinians suffer because of that.

                            First: I do NOT agree with murdering civilians on ANY side of a conflict. But while you cannot possibly accept the killings of a madman(or mad woman), then you MUST try to understand what drives them mad. Imran has a point when he argues that the Palestinians are virtually unarmed compared to Israel. The Israelian government has for years sought to eliminate the Palestinian problem by either termination or assimilation, people like Sharon are just as keen on driving what is left of Palestine into the ocean as the Arabian league is to destroy the state of Israel. The western powers that made the state of Israel a reality, have for years turned the blind eye to what has happened to Palestine ever since. So what can the Palestinians do?, roll over and play dead?... If we want to make a difference then we MUST give the Palestinians some better cards to play, otherwise we just do NOT have the moral rights to blame them for playing (really) dirty. Michael A.

                                Interesting perspective. Surely Sharon has self defence (if a little extreme) has an excuse. The Jews weren't much of a threat to Hitler apart from in his own head. Bottom line, a lot of people need to hang their heads in shame for their involvment in the Middle East problem. It's easy to place the blame, what the world need is somebody bold enough to step forward and make a difference. Michael :-)

                                      What part of share is difficult to understand ? Jerusalem is holy to three religions and in medieval times it could be shared (somewhat). Why not again ?
