Hi jcky; Re: "Nevertheless, the issue has again pushed itself onto the agenda, almost certainly because one of the candidates in the upcoming election, Labor leader Amram Mitzna, has signaled his intention to carry out a unilateral withdrawal and evacuate some settlements if renewed negotiations with the Palestinians fail to produce an agreement. ... So why bother treating this outburst any differently? The answer is that Mitzna's proposal might actually be implemented, at least in part, even if he is not elected."

I wonder how many people would have thought it possible that after nearly two years of Sharon as Prime Minister, not only would the Intifada be still in full operation, but that the 2nd largest political party in Israel would be calling for the abandonment of the settlements, whether the Palestinians agree to talks or not.

No wonder the Palestinians are fighting on. They can probably see the "light at the end of the tunnel".
