Israel-Palestine
Sharon: Unlimited operations in Gaza
2005-01-17
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has given orders for troops to carry out unlimited operations against Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip. "The current situation is unacceptable and cannot be allowed to continue," Sharon said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. "The Tsahal (army) and the security forces have received orders to operate without any limits on time or their modus operandi to act against the terrorist organisations.

In the first Palestinian reaction to Sharon's new policy, Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath said the new military campaign under way in Gaza will only serve to further undermine the peace process,. "This policy will not serve the peace process and I ask the Israeli people to reject this Sharon policy," Shaath said after a meeting with his Japanese counterpart Nobutaka Machimura in Ram Allah.

#9  The BEST and ONLY Peace (where no-one dies) will come with the Total, Complete and PERMANENT separation of both parties. Build the wall HIGH, DEEP and THICK! Build it NOW!
Let the Palestinians live on their side as they choose. We will check back in 100 years.

#8   If Sharon can remove them for him, Abbas may have a chance to do what needs to be done.

If this is Mazen's plan, he'd best not make it knowledge among anyone, not even his inner circle. If word got out, his days would be numbered for sure.

#7  Hey Shaath! Every think the Paleo-bommers may be derailing the Peace Process?

Depends on your definition of the "Peace Process"

#3  Ya know, this may actually be a good thing for Abbas. He lacks both the political spunk and the firepower to take on the craziest of the paleo-crazies. If Sharon can remove them for him, Abbas may have a chance to do what needs to be done.

Not that I'm holding my breath.
