<Sharon promised to rip down certain outposts illegal by Israeli law. He never promised to rip down everything built in the territories for the last two years.> Here's what the Road Map says Israel is supposed to do about settlements: Phase One: present to May 2003: GOI (government of Israel) immediately dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements). state.gov There is not one word about treating "legal" differently from "illegal" settlements. It's a distinction that is purely political. If the Israelis are allowed to decide, unilaterally, what is "legal" (i.e., what they will be allowed to keep), then they could decide that all of them are "legal". One of the characteristics of intensely partisan people, is that they ignore all inconveniant facts. Over and over, I have read your posts, where you make statements that are easily proven to be wrong. Not matters of interpretation, but factual errors. And, when presented with the counter-evidence, you simply ignore it, and later repeat your incorrect beliefs. So, I expect you will continue to say Sharon isn't breaking his promises, by refusing to take down everything built since 3/01, even though that is explicitly what he has promised to do, by accepting the road map.
