<< In reality, the violence of the Intifada began when Sharon went to the Muslim holy site with 1000 troops, in a display of aggression. >>

Not true. Arafat had been preparing for the Intifada months before the Temple Mount visit by Sharon. Palestinians were stockpiling arms, and had been going thru training for many months.

Arafat, and his thugs, had been told AHEAD OF TIME, about Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount. Not one Palestinian official objected to the visit. Sharon was blindsided, and the Palestinian thugs got their wish, a war against Israel, and they could blame it all on Sharon.

You support the terrorist side with lies. It is so sad that you don't use your writing skills for peace, rather than war and misery. In the meantime, while you rejoice, millions of Palestinians live in misery, and many Israeli parents are mourning the deaths of their children today.

Hey buddy, wake up, are you saying that sharon's widely announced vist to the muslim holy site was a justification for giving up negotiations to pursue terror. Doh! Sure sounds like it to me.
