I get information about the Middle East from a couple of different news sources. Ariel Sharon has broken from Likud and Peres has left the Labor Party to form a new Kadima party which seems to be trying to incorporate Palestinians. Here’s today’s headline. There is an article that follows but it is a bit long.

“Sharon Seeks Out Extremist Arab Mayor for New Party
An Arabic-language newspaper in the Negev reports that Ariel Sharon offered the mayor of the Arab city of Rahat a place on his new Kadima party list for the Knesset”

This comes to me by way of email and It hasn’t yet appeared on the Israeli News source to which it’s linked. I will pass on the link ASAP.

Like all Israeli politicians they must walk a fine line between the defense of an Israeli homeland and peace with their neighbors. Israel could Nuke them all but there might not be much left of the region if they do. Iran has nuclear weapons and I’m fairly certain if Iran seriously threatened to use them on Israel Israel would hit them with a preemptive strike.

In your opinion is Sharon’s attempt at inclusion worth the effort?

Thanks for the link. Do you have thoughts about the events?

No it doesn’t.

The evidence against pre-emptive strikes being a bad thing continues to mount.

Yes. This is how barriers get broken down and people see that those on the other side are humans too.

I would like to try but I think that Islamic Yihad and Hamas will think and will say to palestinians, that thanks to terrorism, they are free, and I am against this.
 
IF Sharon is trying to avert WWIII, I certainly hope he succeeds !!!

That’s my concern as well. Nevertheless, what is an Israeli PM to do? I wonder what the breaking point will be? I.e., I wonder when Israel is so threatened that it must choose or think it must choose between attack or die?

Palestine does not want peace. See for yourself- here are the translations of the Israili and Palestinian national anthems:

Palestine

My country , my country
My country , the land of my grand fathers
My country , my country
My country , my nation , the nation of eternity
With my determination, my fire and the volcano of my revenge
The longing of my blood to my land and home
I have climbed the mountains and fought the wars
I have conquered the impossible , and crossed the boarders
My country , my country , the nation of eternity
With the resolve of the winds and the fire of the guns
And the determination of my nation in the land of struggle
Palestine is my home , Palestine is my fire , Palestine is my revenge
and the land of eternity
My country , my country , the nation of eternity
I swear under the shade of the flag
To my land and nation , and the fire of pain
I will live as a guerrilla , I will go on as guerrilla ,
I will expire as guerrilla until I will be back
My country , my country , the nation of eternity.

Israel

As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

What sounds better? “I want revenge- I’ll be a guerilla to get it” or “Our hope is not yet lost- the hope of two thousand years- to be a free people in our land- the land of Zion and Jerusalem.” I don’t have any religious reasons for supporting Israel- but it’s quite obvious to me who wants peace- and it’s quite obvious who’s going to be friendlier if they win the conflict. Arabs have all of North Africa, and a good chunk of Asia too (where Christianity used to be the predominating religion- e.g. the seven Churches in Asia- the Jews have one tiny country in the middle-east- and that’s it.
