Sharon, too, says he to wants a cease-fire. But the main theme of his entire career has been settlement-building, continuing right up till a few days ago, when his government announced new building in Palestinian E. Jerusalem But Jacob, if Sharon stops building in Area C, then all of Arafat's cronies will lose big bucks - who do you think has been doing the construction work? Actually, Abbas' main demands have been for lifting of curfews and an end to Israeli assassinations of Hamas figures, items of more immediate concern to most Palestinians. I know it's an article of faith with you that settlements are the heart of the problem, but actually they're not. Just one issue among many.
