Thats half of the sources from the first page-with 10 more to follow it. The mans actions appear to follow his philosophy.
"I don't know something called International Principles. I vow that I'll burn every Palestinian Child born in this area. The Palestinian Woman and Child is more dangerous than the Man, Because the Palestinian Child existence refers that Generations will go on, but the man causes limited danger. I vow that if I was just an Israeli Civilian and I met a Palestinian I would burn him and I would make him suffer before killing him. With One hit I've killed 750 Palestinians ( in Rafah, 1956). I wanted to encourage my soldiers by raping Arabic Girls as The Palestinian Woman is a slave for Jews, and we do whatever we want to her and Nobody tells us what we shall do but we tell others what they shall do".-----Ariel Sharon
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001
I will rephrase myself: I was not personally there to witness Sharon say these things, so its my belief based on the whole picture (US-Israel/UK/UN/OTs) details I wont go into becasue frankly its getting old. Its also getting hard not to say exactly what I percieve is happening.
You really see this man a hero?
Heres the big question: Its obvious the now infamous settlements arent going anywhere. (The dog and pony show was OK for the media for a couple of days-- a few abandoned outpost and small scale one taken down: the settlers even started resisting those) and new ones are going up.
Two populations expanding within a designated boundry. Basic mathematical projections easily show whats going to happen. The old "this town aint big enough for the both of us" the big difference is settlers that are there illegally have the full protection of the IDF. WHen clashes occur (they happen from both sides) its the Palestinians who are given the label "gunmen" terrorist. SO what it appears to be coming down to is Palestinians either better join the majority of their fellow populus in Jordan; or . . .
GWB Im not trying to be a smart ass here. If what Im interpreting appears as though Im missing something help me to see it, because this is an issue that truly is effecting my day to day life. Im tired of feeling pissed about this so guidance is welcomed.
I'm not asking for a history lesson- Im very familiar with it with various perspectives in historical documentation and record as well as having been there personally 27 times. I want to see how someone that doesnt see what Im seeing has given them whatever perspective they have.
