Let's give Israel some credit! The Jewish extremists who wanted to storm the Dome of the Rock in order to disrupt the ceasefire were stopped by the Israeli police. Good for the Israeli government! I hate Sharon, but at least he is willing to reign in the most extremists factions of Israelis. I hope he follows through with moving the settlers who have threatened armed resistence. I bet they won't resist if the Israeli army goes in to move them. Sharon orchestrated the withdrawal of settlers from the Sinai so he CAN do it if he wants.
What the Israel/Palestine conflict needs is more restraint of extremists by both sides. I almost said by "moderats on both sides" but Sharon can't be called a moderate by any measure. We need moderates leading on both sides and a willingness to stop extremists on both sides.
