Now I know that you have a good insight into this mess were having in Israel! ""history of the Palestinian people will one day be summarized.." !100% right, as Aba Aban said, Palestinians never loose an opportunity to loose and opportunity! Israel don't trust the Arabs and the Arabs don't want peace that Israel will give them! Arabs do not only want the milk, they want the cow, the blond mild-girl, the milk jar, the mild truck and the money for the milk! In short they want to see Israel disappear, and that is not possible! I don't like Sharon, and most Israelis didn't want him either, Araft forced him upon the voters. There were closed contacts between him and Sharon before the election! I don't want to go any deeper into this subject because what I say may be damaging to the interest of State Israel!However, Arafat is not what he seems to be! Sharon maybe mad, and I don't approve of the man, but let me say that he is a Patriat! He will start a war and very soon! He will strike Syrians in Baaka, and invade Syrian proper, he will smash the Syrian military and cripple their economy, he will give them something to remember for years to come! He will invade Lebanon and will put them 50 years in time! Egypt, and Jordan will not get invovled. Then there will be a great peace conference "without" Arafat! At the end Palestinians will loose! Jews have no friends out side of US, and Isreal know that! Therefore, in the forthcoming war, the publice opinion will not be of any consquence! Last but not least, Iraq has been put on notice. One missle carrying nerve gas against Israel and Bagdad and Bassora will be nuked! Tit-for-tat! So the dice has been cast,)it maybe too late for peace!
