Arab leaders are hoping for Sharon's death and Palestinians are rejoicing over Ariel Sharon's stroke, and why shouldn't they? After all, he represents the hard line of Israeli politics, a "Bulldog" who has relentlessly opposed Palestine at every stance.
Except for agreeing in principle to a two state solution.
Except for withdrawing unilaterally from the Gaza Strip.
Except for forcibly dismantling Israeli settlements in the occu[ied territories.
Except for allowing Palestinian self rule in former occupied territories.
Except for splitting from the conservative Likud he co-fouded to form the moderate Kadima party to continue working to find peaceful solutions to the conflicts.
Yep, he's a hard liner all right.
