I brought this over from Hank Roth's site. It was needed to provide "the other side of the story."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are FIVE parts to this set of articles on the Road Map, which is really much more than that. While it details aspects of a platform, it also includes reasons why Ariel Sharon has shown so much restraint and why it appears he isn't going to take it anymore and George Bush is pissed. Sharon has discovered, a bit belatedly, that George W. Bush has been putting the screws to him.....
It is a good idea to read this on the WEB because of the inline links to resources.
What Israeli leader has not tried to negotiate with Palestinians and failed? Now it is Ariel Sharon's turn. He talked to the new Palestinian Prime Minister, Mamoud Abbas, who has shown himself to be as irrelevant as Yasser Arafat has become irrelevant to any peace process. Meanwhile there has developed a widening rift in the relationship between Sharon and George Bush. Following the Bush "line of march" has been very costly for Israel economically and in Jewish lives. George Bush has not been good for Israel.
There has also been diplomatic pressure on Israel ever since the United States declared it's war on terrorism. In order to establish an alliance, countries supporting the U.S. have insisted that there be linkage with pressure on Israel, to pull out of the territories and establish a Palestinian state.

Islam and the Jews have had a very unsteady and troubled coexistence since the Prophet Muhammad began his rule of Islam at Madina in A.D. 622, at which time he had very few supporters. He tried to induce the Jews to adopt Islam and failed. He adopted Jewish customs intended to attract Jews to Islam. He included the facing of Jerusalem during daily prayer, which he later changed, and ordered his converts to face Mecca instead, when the Jews refused to accept Islam. He introduced fasting for Ramadan to coincide with fasting for Yom Kipper. Still the Jews refused to convert.

http://pnews.org/art/11art/2ROADMAP.shtmlIsraels' rights in the land are greater than anyone elses. Jews never left. They were there for thousands of years. While they have been expelled, many stayed against all odds, and they always returned. Most Arabs who live in the region do not hold legitmate title; nothing which is continuous or can be established by any kind of abstract of title or deed. Many Arabs acquired land from the Jews by stealing it and then when Jews purchased land from rich land owners, it was often their own land that they were paying for and buying back. Israel's rights in the land was eloquently described by U.S. Senator James Inhofe in an address to the Senate in March - (2002).

http://pnews.org/art/5art/ZIONghetto.shtmlThere has been among most Jews a commitment to "Klal Yisrael", the unity of the Jewish people. This has been an inherent and essential component of the Zionist ideal. And many Jewish people stand firmly behind this idea. Some non-Jews attempt to define Zionism for Jews and Anti-Zionists like to assume that Judaism is only just a religion. If Zionism was only a religion Eretz Yisrael and Klal Yisrael would not have endured for 2,000 years. Jewish unity lasted for that period of time because Jews were committed to the idea of "Jewish peoplehood." Zionism is the fulfillment of Jewish unity and it is the preservation of Jewish peoplehood in the State of Israel where Jews have always lived in spite of expulsions and persecution by waves of conquerors in that land.

http://pnews.org/art/10art/DECEIT.shtmlFrom "The History of Islam" (Another good reference from this same author: "The Arabs in History") - by Robert Payne, Payne writes: "By sabotage, by deceit, by the terror of Muhammad' s name, [Mecca] had been weakened, and it fell into his hands... like a ripe plum" (The History of Islam).
