| "Bibi, who tried to slow down the mad race, ..." (Xaxam) I wonder. Are you, by any chance, alluding to PM Benyamin Netanyahu, who, outside the White House, on Oct. 1996, was seen grasping Arafat`s hand and pumping it, adding his left hand atop the grip - and heard telling him "Mr. Chairman, you are a friend and a partner." ? www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,985298-2,00.html What a strange way, you will perhaps admit, "to slow down the mad race". "Netanyahu`s agreement [January 14, 1997] with the Palestinians on Hebron angered his own Likud Party, and he now faces threats of being overthrown if he abandons a planned housing project in Jerusalem ..." Zeev Schiff, March 24, 1997. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-19254700.html Speaking of Hebron, "Unlike many Jewish settlers, those in Hebron are almost all religious fundamentalists. Some openly venerate the memory of Baruch Goldstein, who killed 29 worshipers in a mosque in 1994, and some don`t conceal their admiration for Rabin`s assassin." http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D00E6DD113EF934A25751C1A960958260 |
