Sunday - December 28, 2003 at 03:37 AM inIsrael Announces Bold New Peace PlanFutureNews - June 27, 2004, Tel Aviv - Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced a bold new peace initiative today. "Our
plan is simple," said Sharon at a news conference, "we will kill everyone who
doesn't like Israel. Then, everyone will like us, and there will be peace in
the Middle East."
Reaction was swift from around the world.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat derided the Israeli proposal as nothing new.
Said Arafat through a spokesperson, "This new plan from Sharon is nothing new at
all. The Palestinians have been pursuing almost exactly the same peace plan for
years. However, we welcome the new Israeli initiative and look forward to
pursuing peace in this manner
bilaterally."
In a later prepared statement, the Israeli government noted that while the initial focus of the peace plan would be on the Palestinians, it could be expanded to include other countries hostile to Israel, and possibly even domestic Israeli politics. "Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East," noted Political Science Professor Arthur Schaumburger of the Center for International Mortality. "Democracy is often a very messy form of government. I think this plan has merit for bringing calm, rational debate to the political arena, and I applaud the bold steps of the Sharon government." The Bush administration had no immediate comment, though sources close to the President say that the administration is studying the plan closely, noting that it could have applicability to the War on Terrorism, and the continuing process of rebuilding both Iraq and Afghanistan. -----FutureNews-----Bringing you tomorrow's headlines today----- Posted at 03:37 AM | Permalink | | | |
