"Sharon: Israel Must Make Land Concessions"
- headline on AP article, November 27
Unfortunately, the "concessions" turn out to be only that "Israel cannot hold on to all of the West Bank and Gaza." Some concessions.
In fact, Sharon apparently envisions a Palestinian state considerably smaller than the one suggested three years ago when peace talks broke down, with no concessions on Jerusalem. He also said he will not dismantle all the West Bank settlement outposts because "what is necessary [for "security value"] will remain," refuses to freeze new construction of such settlements, and asserted that Israel will continue to build the so-called "security barrier."
If this is what he means by "concessions," I'd hate to think what he means by "being stubborn."
