That is complete bullshit that the Palestinians tried to do without suicide bombers. The only reason there werent any bombings was because there were bombers caught or prevented from entering Israel. When the Palestinian groups decide to call off violence and stop their calls for destroying Israel, and take a real break for 3 months, then Israel would pullback. Should America leave Afghanistan and stop hunting BinLaden because there has been no terrorism on American soil for a year and a half.

you forgot one important fact - the Israelis stopped (arrested) no less than 100 attempted suiciders during this period

I think you should take back your accusation here that the Palestinians are killed even when bombings stopped. Whatever the number is, you have seen continued attacks and instances where explosive belts were seized.

You said
". During the past 2+ months they tried with no suicide bombers. Yet the killing of the Palestinians continued. And there is only so much women and children you can burry before you say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". Sharon is NOT a man of peace. He is a butcher and he proved it during the last 2+ months. His aim is the methodical and continued extermination of Palestinians."

That is unfair, untrue, and plain wrong
It comes down to Sharon upholding his duty to protect his people sometimes by use of force against evil terrorists. Arafat is the one who is not a man of peace when he turned down a settlement.
