Jeroen <<(Something I believe Sharon to be capable of as well, and something I believe he would immediately do if he could get away with it.)>>
Ilana <SIGH> Will it help to ask again why you believe so? Jeroen <<The man is a war hawk with a very strong hatred of Arabs.>> Ilana Facts, pls. When he said something like this and what it was? Jeroen <<He did nothing to stop the massacre in Shaaba (sp) and Shatila (sp).>> Ilana He didn't prevent Christian Palestinians from butchering Moslem Palestinians. Why should he? He is responsible for well being of Israelis! Jeroen <<He provoked the Palestinians into starting the second Intifadah.>> Ilana Intifada started two days before he entered Temple mountain, which is holly place for Jews. Jeroen <<His aggression against Palestinians is becoming more and more ruthless.>> Ilana He protects his people. Us! He was elected Israeli Prime Minister not Ashaf Prime Minister. Jeroen <<Nothing he has done indicates that he wants to make peace with the Arabs.>> Ilana 23 kids were blown up in disco. There was no retaliation. Jeroen <<Even Israel's only friend and ally (the US) is criticising him.>> Ilana And suddenly we are popular with ex-SU. <SHRUG>. This is no survey. Do you choose *your* opinion according to how many others think so? I should tell you about vote in SU one day. Jeroen <<All in all, I think there is plenty of reason to believe that Sharon would commit genocide if he could get away with it. The only reason he has not done so is that the rest of the world will not let him get away with it.>> Ilana No. You didn't give any objective reason at all. Nothing beyond wrong facts and "others think so" Ilana from Israel
