They'll Put Anyone on TV
The washouts and terrorist sympathizers (I'll leave it for you to figure out which are which) of the Geneva Accords are back:
On the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Geneva Accord, an advertising campaign is being aired on Palestinian television, featuring Israeli and Palestinian statesmen voicing their support for the venture... Six short films, one minute each in length... are broadcast by local television stations in the territories, and the speakers stress their support for the idea of two states for two peoples.
All it took was six badly-produced infomercials for Ha'aretz to breathlessly declare in a fawning 1800+ word piece that The Geneva Accord moves to center stage". If Sharon gave up Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem tomorrow, these people would headline it with "Sharon begins negotiations on limited Palestinian demands". And yet, quietly and without ceremony, even Ha'aretz is celebrating Sharon's historic determination:
a few facts are becoming evident. The main one is that the prime minister, in a series of well thought-out moves, has for the moment achieved most of his complicated goals. He's the knight of disengagement, but he manages to get along with his own unruly party... In a remarkable historical irony, there is nobody in the arena nowadays who speaks so loudly and effectively in favor of the values of the withdrawal and evacuation like the champion of the settlement movement, Sharon.
