Commentary on Prime Minister Sharon's Speech...
from the always interesting
Little Green Footballs comes a link to David Warren's
website with some commentary on Israeli P.M. Ariel Sharon's speech from a few days ago...
One paragraph:
bq. But as the Israeli experience in Gaza has shown, a security fence can be made to work. There have been no terrorist operations mounted from Gaza into Israel over the many years since the Israelis erected the security fence around Gaza.
Another paragraph:
bq. A Palestine deprived of options to antagonize Israel and externalize all failures must then choose between beggary and enterprise. The Palestinians themselves must eventually confront social, economic, and political problems which, once Israel is disengaged, can no longer be blamed on "the outsider". The West Bank has land as arable as any in Israel, and (after subtracting the Negev desert) no greater population density. What can they do with what they have?
