Capitulation
When Bush decided to deliver part of the Land of Israel into the hands of Yesha's Arabs, Israel raised 14 specific reservations. This topic has disappeared from the agenda together with perpetuum mobile and geocentric theories.
Then came the expulsion plan of General Sharon Bonaparte, which was supposed to indicate that in the absence of an Arab authority to crack down on terrorists, there will be no negotiated anything. That too has now disappeared, with the Arabs (as usual) getting everything for absolutely nothing. Here is the relevant AP news item:
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel is prepared to coordinate its pullout from Gaza with a new Palestinian government, officials said Sunday, a shift from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's concept of "unilateral disengagement" and a sign that cooperation may be restored in the post-Arafat era.
...
In separate interviews with Newsweek magazine, Sharon said he would be willing to coordinate the handover of Gaza with Palestinian forces
...
In the Newsweek interview, Sharon said Arafat's death made it possible to coordinate the pullout with the new Palestinian leadership and with Abbas, who said he is "against terror." [Clearly, Sharon doesn't read IsraPundit, which has shown the exact opposite. - Ed.]
...
In the interview, Sharon promised to help the Palestinians hold a successful poll in January by "opening the roads and taking our forces out of their towns."
Israel already has pledged to remove all roadblocks in the West Bank on the day of the vote and agreed to allow Palestinians living in disputed east Jerusalem to vote.
Gissin said Israel also has scaled back military activity in Palestinian areas and security cooperation between the two sides has quietly resumed.
In the final analysis, it is up to the people of Israel to safeguard the integrity of their land, just as it is up to the people of the Ukraine to ensure that their electorate prevails.
