Sharon Says He's Unswayed by Arafat's NY Times Article JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) said he was unswayed by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites)'s offer in a New York Times article Sunday to end the conflict with Israel and rein in militants. In an interview with Israel's Channel Two television, Sharon signaled he wanted deeds and not words from Arafat, whom he again branded ``irrelevant.'' ``He talks incessantly. Certainly the comments were written in softer language, but he is excellent when it comes to talking,'' Sharon said. Asked if he found Arafat's article persuasive, Sharon replied: ``It didn't persuade me and I propose no one else be persuaded.'' Arafat -- besieged by Israeli tanks and under U.S. pressure to crack down on militants -- pledged in the article to put an end to attacks on civilians by Palestinians he described as terrorists. He also said: ``Palestinians are ready to end the conflict.'' dailynews.yahoo.com
