Israel taking more Palestinian Land

Sharon is talking about taking more Palestinian Land. Why is Israel ethnic cleansing ok, but Serbian or Janjuweeds in Sudan not? I'm far more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israels. I am actually shocked more Palestinians aren't attacking Israel. Terror bombings are not acceptable but neither is tank assaults, helicopter or plane attacks in Palestinian cities. Exactly how many Hamas leaders are their for Israel to bomb. Obviously, that tactic ain't working because Hamas keeps getting new ones.I don't believe there will be a solution to the conflict. Many Palestinians and Israelis don't believe so either. Maybe the Israelis should have just took part of Uganda when it was offered.

During a visit to the West Bank settlement of Ariel yesterday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that in the future an expanded Ariel would be an integral part of Israel.

"I reiterate and clarify that this bloc is one of the most important. It will forever be part of the State of Israel. There is no other thought and no other direction of thinking.

"I came here today to see how the city can be expanded and the bloc strengthened, as I do and shall do in the other blocs. This bloc will forever be an inseparable part of the State of Israel, territorially contiguous with the State of Israel like the other blocs," he said. . .

During the meeting with Nachman and the council members, Sharon criticized Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, also a member of his Likud Party, without mentioning him by name.

"There is a Knesset member in our party who constantly, in a hysterical and shrieking tone of voice, announces the next stage of the disengagement, even though he knows it's a lie. I cannot issue denials all day long. I hear MKs saying that I'm going to divide Jerusalem, but I don't intend even to discuss Jerusalem. The incitement keeps recurring, and even those who incite know it's a lie and that there won't be a second or additional disengagement, and that Jerusalem will not be divided."
