Israel sticks up for itself

Via lgf, the full text of Ariel Sharon's recent speech. Finally Israel is sticking up for itself against Bush's "demands" that Israel pull back and is calling the administration on its double standard:

From here, I address the leaders of the Free World. You must remember that leniency toward terrorists is the same as a green light to terrorists, who have already proven that they do not distinguish between blood and blood, between a Jewish victim and any other victim. You cannot fight terrorism on the one hand, and condemn the victims of terrorism on the other. There is absolutely no equivalence between those who send teenage suicide bombers to kill and maim, and those who take self-defense actions and try to uproot the infrastructure of terrorism. Only your stand against terrorism and actual sanctions against its perpetrators in the Palestinian Authority, and primarily Arafat, will enable you to make a real contribution to the advancement of peace in the Middle East.

Do whatcha gotta do, Israel.

Ok, so if Sharon does not like double standards then we should treat Israel as any other occupying force who does not listen to UN and US requests to pull out? Cause I am all for bombing the hell out of the Israeli army forces in Palestinian camps.

The double standard is that we'll do anything we have to do to combat terrorism, but we won't let Israel do what they have to do.

Ok, but how do you define the difference between those fighting for their land and their lives and terrorists? The line is a little blurred in my vision. Do you also condemn those who fought against Slavery? How about the Jew's in Poland and other Nazi held territories in WWII? I mean those in Poland were doing bombings and fighting for their land, but yet they are freedom fighters and the Palestinians are terrorists. Go figure. If the Israeli's would get out of Palestinian cities and bargain in fairness this would not be a problem. The one reason the bombings ever began is because Sharon instigated that damned stuff! He is as much to blame as Arafat. He knew what he was doing back in the election. His advisers warned him over and again not to do what he was doing. Instead he ignored them and instigated violence and then campaigned on eliminating it. Talk about a make work project!
