I'm no supporter of Sharon and I've posted that. But he's a piker compared to Arafat, Saddam and the other tyrants and OILogarchs of the Arab world. Arafat - has been estimated as pilfering a billion dollars from funds intended for the refugees he claims to love. Rather, it serves a dual purpose. 1) Enriches this slimey scum 2)Keeps them in camps so that the Arab world can pretend that it's Israel's fault.

WAIT!...DO NOT ABANDON GAZA YET! Lord Knows forbes.com People have used the Bible to predict the Second Coming and the end of the world. But John M. Brown is one of the first to rely on the Old Testament to hunt for oil in Israel, where others have tried and failed. "Over the last five years significant amounts of gas have been discovered off the shore of both Israel and Gaza," insists Brown, chairman of Dallas-based Zion Oil & Gas. Decoding verses from Deuteronomy, he is determined to look for black gold to the south of the Mount Carmel range, a region known as "the head of Joseph," and an area near the Mediterranean, a.k.a. "the foot of Asher." How to pay for this holy flyer? Zion recently went public on Nasdaq in a best-efforts offering for 1.3 million to 7 million shares at $5 apiece. The kicker: Brown must pay a hefty 8% to 10% of the proceeds to the underwriters--no believers, they. The money will support drilling on sites licensed from the Israeli government. And if the first efforts bear no fruit? Brown seems ethereally unconcerned. Many of his backers are evangelical Christians who want him to succeed. Besides, we are entering the season of miracles. Here is your opportunity of a lifetime Gus to get on the ground floor of the latest miracle. len
