So where are those who said that Sharon was an obstacle to peace just like Arafat?
 

I'm not saying that this cease fire will actually succeed in the long run for sure, but look at the facts... right after Arafat died, there are suddenly peace talks, the other side is actually doing SOMETHING to prevent terrorism... Sharon is INVITED to Egypt after a very long time of tension for the summit in Sharm El Sheikh and suddenly things seem better then they used to be...

again, I'm not saying things are perfect... Terrorist organisations are still doing their best to kill civilians, and the PEOPLE in gaza are in favor of Hammas and Islamic Jihad while Abu Mazen is believed to be a weak leader by many palestinians...

but I think what is happening these days is a full proof of the idiocy of those who said things like 'Arafat is a criminal and Sharon is not any better'... You shouldn't have anything to say now that the disengagement plan from gaza is about to start and negotiations are in process with the same Ariel Sharon, but with a new palestinian leader...

I bet this thread will reach at least 2 pages

and the average words per post will be much higher then gfy's overall average...

this thread is usless

here's a link with a pic: http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/...ast/index.html

The only PEOPLE in Gaza are the IDF soldiers keeping the animals from killing each other and those around them.

Arafat was a hardballer
Sharon is a hardballer
Abbas is a pussy that bends over to the power of Israel....
That is why it's more peaceful now.

if sharon is a 'hardballer' then why did he agree to this truce and to free hundreds of palestinian prisoners?

Because their terms are being met and they have tens of thousands more prisoners?

what terms? that israel will not tolerate the killing of civilians? isn't that a justified term?

and why did SHARON decided to step out of gaza? is that also not a give away?

You're a little bit biased dude, Palestinians wasn't the only ones killing civilians....

yeah, the old ignorant comment...

i'm going to participate in this old argument again..

I don't care about either side, I just judge them as I see them. Obviously you care a little more about one side.
