Did anyone else wonder what Sharon meant by saying Israel will not be blackmailed for peace? Was he referring to US monetary aid and basically telling us to stick it? Could the US possibly have threatened holding back funds if Sharon didn't go along with a peace plan? Just a thought. Would be curious to know what you all think Sharon meant.

Blackmailed for peace = Will stop blowing up cafes if you exit the West Bank.

I think Sharon was referring to other Arab nations.

My guess is that he is re-iterating his stance that he will not negotiate with a terrorist regime (=arafart). Game over for 'fart.
