Ah, it's just too exhausting to really care

The Likud party is all about peace. From The Financial Times:

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's former finance minister, yesterday denounced his long-time rival Ariel Sharon as a "dictator" a day after the prime minister quit the Likud party to form a new centrist movement to stand in the next elections, scheduled for March 28.

There's more.

The Likud party, which Mr Netanyahu hopes to lead, would move away from the "one-man rule of Sharon, who apparently doesn't recognise democracy and is setting up a party of puppets", he told Army Radio.

And of course, buried in the story's penultimate paragraph:

Meanwhile, Israel yesterday approved the construction of 350 new homes in one of the biggest settlement blocs in the West Bank, Maale Adumim. The Palestinians say such expansion, opposed by the US, encroaches on land they need for a future state.

I'm thinking of posting everytime Israel approves new settlement developments. I don't understand how anyone could seriously mouth the words "Israeli withdrawal" in reference to what they did in Gaza.
