Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Zeev Hed]

Sarai, I think you are wrong, look at who signed a peace agreement with Egypt, if not that "old terrorist" Menahem Begin (head of Etzel and then leader of Herut and later Likud). Just as "only Nixon" could open China, "only Sharon can make peace may turn out to be right. Golda Meier tried for years to make peace with Sadat but to no avail, only after she let Sadat and Assad attack without preempting them in the Yom Kippur war, and then defeated them again, did Sadat finally come to the peace table.

If Arafat really want peace, he could have had such many times over. It seems he still believes himself his own demagoguery that he can get it "all", namely from the river to the sea.
