What Sharon should do RIGHT NOW
Forget about the past. Sharon has an historic opportunity here:
Do not respond with force this time (for the pool hall attack). Instead, issue a statement via every medium, that essentially says "the people of Israel will exercise restraint in this case and not respond militarily"......"we will take the first step towards peace"
This would draw worldwide support. And, if attacked again, Israel will be EVEN MORE justified in killing or exiling Arafat....and using overwhelming military force.
What do you think?

Blow the mother****in' Hammas assholez off the map, including any arsehole with a pipebomb or fashionable C4 belt buckle.
Of course it is so completely politically incorrect to castigate anything Israeli or Jewish on account of the horrendous events of the past, so flame on.

SDW2001's plan for more dead jews.
<strong>Yeah, sure...that's the real way...MY opinion?

Instead, I think Sharon and Arifat should fight in celebrity boxing and whoever wins claims all the land.
Also, my addendum to the policy would be a change in dress code for all people who are on Israeli land. He should mandate that all people who are on Israeli land must wear skin tight clothing. Bikinis, speedos, thongs, spandex, and such. Hell, naked even. Also if possible, he should mandate that they must look like Natilie Portman as well, even the men.
<strong>Hey SDW2001. How about you tell us what Arafat should do. He's the one doing the bombings.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I don't know. The whole thing is a ****ing mess. I know we have to agree on that.
What is your solution?

You are such an ass. i agree Arafat is useless, but Sharon is partly to blame. His eye for an eye approach isn't working.</strong><hr></blockquote>
But doesn't the Old Testament call for an "eye for an eye"? So in essence, he is doing what his religion tells him and his people to do. Therefore it will never stop until the Palestinians cease the bombings. I know this is wrong but its true. Unless the religous doctorines of the Palestinians calls for the same "eye for an eye" type response to your enemy (ignorant on the subject). Then they will not stop either. It doesn't matter who started it and at what point, but it does matter that if this is the beliefs of both people/s then it is a never ending cycle of killing and it will never end. Am I wrong? Not trying to stir anything up but this is how I see it.

But, both sides likely follow the eye for an eye motto.

Mine? The arab/mulsim world enters the 21st century and acts like civilized people for the first time in 500 years. Simple.

Also...
You seem to know so well what Israel should do but have not one thing to say to Arafat. Blame the Jews only huh?
2) Your posts never contain any actual solutions. The bit about the arab world needing to join the rest of the world for the first time in 500 years may be accurate, but how do we accomplish that?
I'm serious, what is YOUR idea?

Civilization A promotes tolerance, personal freedoms, and democracy.
Civilization B promotes religious intolerance, inhumane repression of women, and breeds theocratic dictatorships.
Don't tell me that this isn't a clash of civilizations. If civ B wants to ever be respected, they need to leave the dated barbarism behind and join the rest of the world in the 21st century.
<strong>He should RESIGN and do both the Jewish, Palestinian, and rest of the Middle East a big huge FAVOR.By that I mean get out of politics altogether and for good. The world doesn't need him. Ever since that war-criminal was elected, the whole region has descended into chaos. He has no more pretence at decency or humanity, and no more moral justice to his actions and policies than Arafat, Hamas or bin Laden has to theirs: all these scumbags have huge amounts of blood on their hands. Palestinian blood = Israeli blood = American blood. Any group that suffers at the hands of warmongers and terrorists are no less special thsn any other group. Just because Sharon gets invited to the White House doesn't stop him from being a terrorist. Don't forget, Israel has an arsenal of 350+ nuclear weapons and any talk of "pushing Israel into the sea" is so much baloney. Israel could annihilate the entire Arab world at a stroke if it was pushed hard enough.
Of course it is so completely politically incorrect to castigate anything Israeli or Jewish on account of the horrendous events of the past, so flame on.

He was elected BECAUSE of the renewed violence. it didn't start after he was elected and in fact got worse when he didn't retaliate immediately after the first homicide bomber struck. You're right-whats past is past-get over it.
When the mood for peace increases, when israelis believe again that giving up territory is in their best interests, then a Labor Party politician will be elected. Thats how it works in a Democracy. palestinians have no such choice because to go against Arafat, the real killer with blood on his hands, they would be shot. Such is life as an Arab.............................................. .....
<strong>If Sharon were to turn into Gandhi tomorrow he would have a new fan.</strong><hr></blockquote>
And a Lot of dead Israelis. Arabs do not respect weakness, only power...............................
