Unfortunately, no one was listening - Barak thinks he knows what is best, and yet everything he has tried to do has failed. It is a strange situation. Arafat tells Barak to go to hell, and Barak sends an emissary to pacify him. Arafat mocks Barak, Barak orders security forces to shoot at the ground and warns terrorists to kindly evacuate their command posts so he can attack. I am in support of unity.
Unity is vital.
But I am not willing to support the division of Jerusalem, giving up the Jordan valley, or allowing Palestinian refugees within Israel's territorial borders. The majority of the nation is against these concessions, as is the Likud. I do not see the Camp David brainstorms as even a basis for diplomatic dialogue. Arafat has violated every one of the Oslo Accord stipulations, reneged on all the obligations he made at the Wye plantation, and has made a mockery of all the ideas cemented at Camp David. If the prime minister thinks it is right to give in to Justice Minister Yossi Beilin and to Meretz Chairman Yossi Sarid and to continue with the Camp David lines we have no choice but to act as an opposition.
