True, Sharon is a military man, which is exactly why he was elected.

During Barak's time (another former General), as soon as there was a concrete peace plan in its final stages, the Palestinians decided to start a bloody terror campaign. This is what led Israelis to vote for Sharon who promised to take a harder line against terrorism (and rightfully so) than Barak. In essence, the Palestinian terrorists are who caused Sharon to be elected.

I think that it is the Arabs who are desperately trying to prevent peace, because if there is peace, then there is no more Israeli enemy. If there is no Israeli enemy, then the Arab people will start to focus on the brutality and corruption of their own governments.

That's why the Arabs are deperately trying to ruin any chance for peace, because one of the Arab cultural conditions is the need to blame others for their misery, and a scapegoat is needed. If that scapegoat is let free, then Arab society will explode.

Everyone would like to see peace. But most peace activists are a bit naive. There are very few examples in history of people just agreeing to end a war. Wars end when one side wins and the other loses.

The purpose of Israeli military action, however imperfect, is to defeat the terrorists and rejectionists. The purpose of Palestinian terror is to poison the atmosphere so that there is no chance of a negotiated settlement.

If Israel agreed to withdraw to the '67 borders the Arabs, sensing Israeli defeatism, would simply step up their demands to "return" hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to within Israel. This is simply a scheme to carry the battle to deep inside Israel.

I think Sharon's plan can work: just wear them down with continuing military actions. The only thing that could defeat that plan is the Israeli public running out patience -- which is understandable.

There is never going to be "peace" with Militant Islam. But with the US now committed to wiping militant Islam out, it can be defeated once and for all.

I've heard figures of 3.6 million Palestinians that Arafat wants to resettle in Israel.

But even 100s of tousands of enemies being injected into Israel would be devastating.

Great first post, btw.

Welcome.

Ah yes the 'concrete peace plan'

This was one of the core myths circulated by the Israeli media. What concrete peace plan? Essentially Arafat and Barak went into their little conference room and discussed nothing. It was a farce on both sides to keep the public happy. And anyway, can you really imagine the Israelis giving up the entire west bank to the palestinians? And yes, that means destroying the existing settlements. It was always a fantasy. And because of this myth about a 'generous peace offer', we come to hear that every single living Arab in the Middle-East is a blood-hungry monster intent on Israel's destruction for no apparent reason.

What is done by Israeli army in the occupied land against palestinians is anti humanity and anti all religions
The random killing of palistinians and atrocities against them
will stir world opinion against Israel

Yes, there was a very specific and concrete plan, that's exactly right. The Israeli media circulated it? Who are you kidding?

In case you've forgotten, the Clinton administration spent nearly 8 years working out this plan and the white house itself announced that Palestinians were the cause of the problem.

This is not the Israeli media reporting this, it is the White House and the people who slaved away for so many years, just to be blown out of the water and humilliated by the Palestinians' terror policy.

What was a actually a farce was anyone thinking even for a moment that Arafat would accept ANY peace plan that would not guarantee the complete and utter destruction of Israel.

not only a farce, but probably more like outright fraud perpetrated by Arafat against the world (and the US taxpayer in particular) who invested tons of time and resources on making believe that the Palestinians culture would even allow for a thing such as peace.

Anyone who would like tos ee the concrete plan which was, IMHO, way too generous and was of course rejected by the Palestinian in favor of mass murder, here it is:

Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza after repeatedly being attacked by Arab armies. What is being done by the Israeli army is in response to Arab aggression and militant Islamic hate.

Random killings? I am tempted to say that Palestinian terrorists take the prize here. But then I remember: Palestinian terrorists actually target Israeli civilians. There is nothing "random" about their attacks.

The "world" does not have a good record regarding fair treatment of Jews. But the civilized world can see that the PA's leader is the pioneer of methods used by Osama bin Laden to massacre thousands of Americans.

Israel tolerates and tries to accommodate Muslims living in Israel. The PA demands all Jews out of the West Bank and Gaza. The "world" can see this by merely looking.

[fair]

What is done by Sharon in occupied land against Palestinians is the same like What serbian Melosivic has done in Kosovo and Bosnia
America is encouraging Israel to overact against arab the original owners of the land
America supplies Israel with every thing from food to Rocket and fighter
Barak was greedy , He wanted to keep and take some palestinians land

[Ezra]

Just to remind you Mr. fair, The US also built the WHOLE Egyptian army! Right?

Or are you claiming that your technology built the F-16 and the M1A1 tanks?!

This is not true. There was systematic killing of civilians in the former Yugoslavia. In the Israeli-Palestinian conflcit, the side that purposely targets civilians is the Palestinian side.

Israel does not demand that all Muslims leave Israel, but the Palestinians demand all Jews leave the West Bank and Gaza.

The claim that Israel is propped up by US aid is another falsehood. Israel did not receive any US military aid until 1973. So she won multiple wars without it. And the aid the US provided Israel starting in 1973 was actually payment for services rendered; the Arab-Israel conflict was a testing ground for U.S. versus Soviet weapons.

Sorry Fair, but the fact is that tiny Israel has designed and built its own fighter jets in the past -- something no Arab country seems capable of. Though Israel stopped building planes (as far as I know) she continues to modify them to her specifications.

The dispute over "stolen land" is another matter. Personally, I agree there was some unfair displacement of Arabs. However, the Palestinian side has distorted even this, and insists on fighting over land that changed hands more than two biologic generations ago. If you can go back two generations, we can go back 2,000 years and say we were just reclaiming what was ours.

fair I think you read the same history books as takeo, justsad and a few others.

Israel isn't propped up by US aid, but it needs it to stay in the game. A bit of a two-edged sword though. Israel was effectively forced to give up making its own aircraft and buy American instead (the US aid has to be mostly spent with US companies). Also when Israel steps out of line, there is a leash to pull it back in - note the US treatment of Israel over the Phalcon system sale to China. If you take Uncle Sam's dollar you pretty much have to dance to his tune.

Re stolen land, the Palestinan title deeds are as good as anything that European Jews have in their case against the Swiss banks. Israel recognises that a final settlement with the Palestinans will involve compensation.

Israel needs to decide what it is going to do with the occupied territories, either:
Incorporate them into Israel proper (demographic and political suicide).
Exterminate and expel the population (international suicide)
Withdraw and allow the creation of a Palestinan state (a slim chance of peace, but I'd be sceptical)

Otherwise it's just more of the same.
