Hopefully the world such as the UN will be able to fully empathize with that and be able to establish a buffer zone The UN? What have you been smoking, Chinu? The UN HR Council condemned Israel eight times during its last session (following a long and disgraceful tradition), and fully affirmed its support for Palestinian resistance by all available means. We know what that means, don't we? I am curious about your take on Shimon Peres's current efforts to talk to the Palestenian leadership, Saeb Erakat in particular My take is that they are of no consequence, but are designed merely to keep Shimon Peres busy and out of mischief. Check out debka.com today. They say that the US has ambitious plans to replace the PA totally; Arafat and Erekat are history. I'm not sure I believe it, but very interesting if it proves true.

Jul. 22, 2002 Palestinians claim IDF set to withdraw from Bethlehem and Hebron By THE JERUSALEM POST STAFF AND ITIM "Israel promised to withdraw from Bethlehem and Hebron first," a member of the Palestinian negotiating team that met Saturday night with Israeli officials said Sunday. Taking part in the meeting were Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Minister-without-Portfolio Dan Naveh, and the Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Amos Gilad. The Palestinian Authority official added that both negotiating teams agreed that the IDF will begin a staged withdrawal from the major West Bank cities if terror attacks against Israel cease. The official maintained that the Israeli interlocutors promised that the IDF would withdraw its forces from Bethlehem and Hebron ahead of the next meeting between the sides, tentatively scheduled to take place next week. jpost.com
