sharon wins israel loses, page-3

b&b sharon wins israel loses Spot on. It means that they don't tust the Left, the labor party to do a meaningful deal with the Palestinians that will put an end to this current Intifada.

It also meanst that they don't want to negotiate with Arafat particularly under fire and that was a major plank in the Leftist (peaceniks) camp.]

Arafat will have to go and they believe that Sharon is the best person to cut a deal with new, moderate Arabs that the Israelis and Arabs can live with.

Cheers
