Sharon Moves Closer to Geneva Proposal on Territorial Exchange

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a Moroccan newspaper that if security and quiet are attained, he is definitely ready to recognize a Palestinian state and to “go a long way” in negotiations.
In an interview in Le Economist, Sharon said that while Israel would not return to the borders that existed prior to the 1967 Six Day War, it was ready to exchange territories with a Palestinian state.
The idea of retaining settlement blocs in Judea and Samaria, in exchange for other territories liberated by Israel in the 1948 War of Independence, is similar to proposals set forth in the “Geneva Initiative,” a draft agreement for a negotiated settlement which would set up a Palestinian state.
That initiative has been strongly supported by Meretz-Yahad leader Yossi Beilin, and provides for handing over the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, to Arab control. /
With whispers of the withered Sharon further drying up his soul by being ready to surrender Judaism's holiest site - the Temple Mount - officially to Ishmaelites, this should serve as a wake up call, a warning shot to every Jew and Israeli to reclaim the Temple Mount NOW! Israelis will never restore the Temple Mount as the Temple Mount as long as they're willing to accept the deplorable status quo that practices religious discrimination against them daily. Jews and Israelis must demand their religious rights upon the Temple Mount today or tomorrow will be too late!
