From an MSNBC story about Sharon’s saying Israel is at war with terrorism and the latest military incursions by Israel into Palestinian areas,
Palestinians immediately criticized the latest Israeli military move. Also speaking to the “Today” show, Hassan Abdel Rahman, the chief Palestinian representative in the United States, accused Sharon of “driving Palestinians into violence.”
“The war Mr. Sharon is waging … is [being waged] against the Palestinian people. He is not trying to achieve security for Israel. Peace cannot be achieved by killing more Palestinians.”
The real problem, of course, is that the Palestinians — including Arafat — seem to be under the impression that victory can be achieved by killing more Israeli civilians with suicide bombers.
Besides, if peace cannot be achieved by killing more Palestinians why does the Palestinian Authority openly tolerate the lynchings of Palestinians suspected of being Israeli collaborators?
