The status quo dies hard... The decoupling between Israel and the US is a tumultuous process... And Sharon's threatening tone doesn't bode well. After the Sept. 11 fiasco (by Russia/France/Israel "rogue" conspirators), the next step might turn out to be terrorist attacks aimed directly at US high officials --including President G.W. Bush. Security of Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice should be reinforced, don't you think? Those Israelis are so crazy... Long-term, the US will have to contain the emerging "Fascist Moloch" (ie Europe/Russia/Israel) just as it successfully contained the Communist one (USSR/China) October 5, 2001 Israel harshly critical of U.S. By Dan Ephron THE WASHINGTON TIMES TEL AVIV — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon issued a harsh rebuke to the United States yesterday, accusing it of appeasing Palestinians in an attempt to draw Arab states into a global anti-terror coalition. "Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense," Mr. Sharon said at an evening news conference, drawing a comparison between President Bush's policies and efforts by European countries to appease Adolf Hitler before World War II. "I call on the Western democracies, and primarily the leader of the free world, the United States: Do not repeat the dreadful mistakes of 1938, when enlightened European democracies decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for a convenient temporary solution," Mr. Sharon said. "Israel will not be Czechoslovakia. Israel will fight terrorism." The prime minister's remarks came in the wake of yet another Palestinian strike against the Jewish state, when a gunman posing as an Israeli soldier went on a shooting rampage at a bus station in northern Israel, killing three persons. The latest attack came just minutes after Israeli and Palestinian negotiators finished another round of truce talks. Mr. Sharon's remarks were among the toughest in years directed by an Israeli leader at the United States, usually Israel's unwavering ally. They appeared to reflect growing frustration here over Washington's unwillingness so far to lump violence by Palestinian groups with the terrorism perpetrated by Osama bin Laden and other radical Islamic organizations.
