A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Guardian Interview With Sharon

Prime Minister Sharon gave an interview to the (London) Guardian, which appeared in yesterday's paper. The article is typical of European malice toward Israel:

Some examples include the following excerpts. Italics are added:

- "When he turns on his charm, you can see the point of him. Even with the knowledge of all his bloody history, of all the dead left in his wake, you can see why he has carried it off for so long... Even as his powers fail, you can still see how he has managed to connect. When he talks about the land and its history, he radiates a kind of heat. There is a love there that you can see, for all that it is brutal, selfish."

- "his powers are failing. Ariel Sharon looks all of his 75 years. Despite his famous bulk, there is a frailty about him, a passivity... he is an old man. His skin has the translucent sheen of age. When his face becomes still, his eyes disappear beneath the weight of his sagging features. He knows it. And seems to fear it as a sign of weakness."

- "He reminds us this is the Promised Land. Promised to the Jews - no one else."

- "while Sharon has signed up to the US-inspired 'road map' ... it is not the vision of the document that Sharon has really embraced, but the mechanism that, one suspects, he regards as a useful tool for getting the international community off Israel's back. And it is here that his repetitions are not folksy or confused, but cynical."

- "In Sharon's mind, all the onus is on the Palestinians, because that, too, is where all the guilt resides."

- "If there is another absolute constant in Sharon's universe, beyond his identification of his own and Israel's destiny, then it is in his obsession with his great enemy - Yasser Arafat."
