LLCF,
I've looked at the map of Israel's overt aggression in the Palestinian territories since the Yom Kippur War and I find that Sharon and his right wing thugs are completely indefensible. They are among the vilest of human beings.
From the NY Times article on the WEF:
nytimes.com
Davos was on the road to pessimism even before this year's session. At the last meeting in Switzerland, Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian leader, turned what was supposed to be a rapprochement with Shimon Peres, then the former Israeli prime minister, into an ugly confrontation accusing Israel of "fascist military aggression," that was built on policies of "murder, persecution, assassination, destruction and devastation."
Mr. Arafat is surrounded by Israeli tanks this year, and did not make the meeting. Mr. Peres is scheduled to participate in three sessions today.
Everything Arafat said is true. Israel is an out of control fascist bully, magnificently supported by largesse from the U.S. war industry at taxpayer expense. This is totally unacceptable to me. Not that anyone is asking.... <sigh>
There now. I Boomed on, Busted that emotion, and I'm feeling a Recovery coming along.....
