heard on the news today that the political machinery in Israel has taken an official stance that they are against the formation of a Palestinian state and against giving back even 1 inch of the territories they have taken and settled. It is obvious that Israel does not want peace of any kind

teevee, are you unclear on the concept of political parties? Bibi is making his move in the Likud party, and he's running to the right of Sharon. I don't think much of his timing, but you do understand that the US Government does not change policy every time the Republican party adds a new plank to its platform, it is a similar situation here.

Sharon said point blank that he is not changing his policy, and he regards a Palestinian State as inevitable. The Likud's new position is that Palestinians should be given autonomy, not full statehood. If Bibi does not trust the Palestinians not to enter a military alliance with Iraq, and invite Saddam's troops in, who can blame him for that?
