Columnist Dr Abdulaziz al-Makaleh says in his article that following his return from Washington, the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon said he had not offered any concessions. It is well-known for all those who have followed up the ‘’road map’’ it calls on both Palestinian and Israeli parties to offer concessions. Although the Palestinians have now nothing to concede but their lives. Nevertheless the road map still urges them to offer more concessions against a total refusal by the other party that impudently declares it would not concede anything now or in the future. This is the declaration that none of the Arab leaders mentioned about it and sponsors of the road map, mainly the White House that did not feel that Sharon’s statement was in fact an outrageous offending of the White House itself.
Sharon is an apparent aggressor and a killer and does not equivocate in his hostile policy and those who double-cross are those who pretend that they do not understand him, whether they were Arabs or foreigners.
