Early last decade there were peace negotiations Ehud Barack and Arafat. Barack asked for a pause for the election. Arafat agreed. Sharon won and declared Arafat has broken off negotiations. Worse for peace the Sharon lie was adopted as a propaganda point by izziehugging liars everywhere.

The old election gambit goes as follows

1. Plead time to campaign for election
2. Plead time to form a new government
3. Plead time to handle pressing business
4. Plead time to formulate a negotiating position
5. Celebrate second year in office
6. Invent another unacceptable demand
7. Declare Palestinians are delaying negotiations

It isn't really necessary to argue over this. Religious segregation is already official policy of the government of Israel. The issue is whether the Palestinians should accept the crimes against their relatives in Israel.

As documented by Israeli professor Schlomo Sand, the idea of a "jewish people" was invented by the zionists in the late 19th c. Which hardly matters as "people" has no legal meaning in international law. So why does Israel demand it? Because it is politically unacceptable for Palestinians to say it.

As usual the izziehuggers have adopted this refusal as evidence against the Palestinians. Izziehuggers may not be very intelligent but they are clever.

At first calling elections appears reasonable but that ignores Israeli politics. Labor threw the chance to form a government in favor of second ranked Likud to avoid continued negotiations. Netanyahu's new government hit most of the steps in the election gambit.

Some point to the Palestinians demand that Israel cease one aspect of its war crimes in the occupied territories, ending criminal construction for criminal squatters. Some suggest Israelis have a right to be war criminals. Again izziehuggers are only clever not intelligent.

Ariel Sharon is Eric Scheinerman. 
Do not be deceived by strange names.
