Generally, I use whatever Terje Larsen says as a heurestic for deciding what is suicidal for Israel, so this statement makes me very suspicious:
United Nations Mideast envoy Terje Larsen on Wednesday praised Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan… During a closed Security Council session, in which he submitted a monthly report on the situation in the territories, Larsen said that no Israeli prime minister has ever had the courage and the vision to say that he would evacuate settlers.
Which of course immediately raises a number of questions* including but not limited to:
Israeli Arabs, on the other hand, are pissed that they may have to join a new Palestinian state. Maybe they should stop electing political representatives that advocate it, then.
*Answers: (1) There is not the slightest doubt, (2) 50/50, (3) Yes, although picking just one reason why Larsen is an utter and complete failure is a Sisyphusian task.
