Building a freedom fence

[Herschel]

In a stunning policy reversal, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has announced a unique plan for unilateral disengagement: If the Palestinian leadership does not make good on security pledges within a few months, Israel will evacuate virtually all of its settlements from the Gaza Strip and another group from the West Bank.
This proposal has convulsed Israeli politics. But Israel had essentially only two choices: preserve the siege with all of its terrorism, violence, checkpoints and retaliation - or proceed with the construction of a security fence and withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank territories.

Sharon has chosen the latter course. His judgment that a negotiated partition is out of reach is a reasonable, indeed inescapable, conclusion. The Palestinian response to the unprecedented offer of 95% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, at the Camp David summit, was terrorism.

7. I don't need to elaborate

It's biased garbadge.

The word terrorism is abused by those who don't want people to fight back

As far as I'm concerned every time the IDF bulldozes another home it is an act of terrorism. You can't use this word selectively and not expect someone to point out what you are doing.

flame away i don't give a shit

2. It's a good strategy ...

It puts an element of finalization to the conflict. It leaves the Palestinians to their OWN devices.

Finally, the fact that Arafat and Hamas will go apeshit because THEY weren't included in the discussion is proof that the WORST thing that could happen to them is being ignored.
