I don't think liberal US Jews like Sharon any better than Bush and doubt this will change much SJ.
Sharon is no fool, he knows Kerry is milquetoast and ineffective for Israel....not to mention the hard pro-Pali segment of the left.
You're right, it won't.
I don't see what Kerry is complaining about.
When Sharon was meeting with GWB in Washington, he refused to meet with Kerry. That seems perfectly proper to me, he shouldn't appear to be injecting himself in the campaign. That's not a knock on Kerry. And he's indicated if Kerry visits Israel he'll meet him there, perfectly appropriate as well, both as a candidate and as a Senator.
I don't see anything for the Kerry campaign to complain about, other than your observation Sharon is no fool, he knows Kerry is milquetoast and ineffective for Israel....not to mention the hard pro-Pali segment of the left., which is unspoken. The Kerry campaign can't blame Sharon for the perception that he's milquetoast.
