Sharon: Israel Will Continue to Build Security Fence

[lanlady]

(Note to mods: Since this relates to Sharon's summit with Bush, I thought it belonged in LBN --- please move to FA if you disagree.)

Israeli Prime Ariel Sharon said Tuesday he would continue building a security fence separating Israel from Palestinian areas, despite President Bush's admonition that he must consider the consequences on the Middle East peace process.

"We shall continue building the fence. But I shall choose ways which will disturb the Palestinians as little as possible," the Israeli leader said.

Sharon, standing alongside Bush in the Rose Garden of the White House, also insisted anew that all terrorism by Palestinians come to an end.

3. Sharon treats Bush with the contempt he deserves.

Bush will continue to support Sharon and blame the Palestinians for failing to "keep the peace". But at least Sharon doesn't pretend to respect Bush. I give him that much.

5. Hated

Israel was hated either way. It's not like the world has embraced the Jewish people, so they are used to it.
