Does that explain why the Isaeli government keeps stealing land from Palestinians in order to found new Jewish settlements on them?

Flame of the West
Yes. The Likud party wants to annex the land slowly and quietly, as we all know.

The pace has *increased* since Sharon became PM.

That always happens when Likud is in power. It slows (but doesn't stop) when Labour is in power. Nevertheless, it shows why Arafat was insane not to deal with Barak.

Agreed. He really blew it that time, something certain people forget now. The fact that Sharon and Netanyahu are assholes does not make Arafat a good guy. Pity the Israeli army insisted on turning him into a "martyr" by keeping him locked up at his office, refusing to let him go to Bethlehem for Christmas and soon.
