Palestinian leaders are appealing for American intervention to stop the collapse of the Middle East peace plan, known as the roadmap.
| Piss off. You broke it. You fix it. |
Two Palestinian militant groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have ditched a seven-week-old ceasefire following an Israeli air strike on a Hamas political leader, Ismail Abu Shanab. He died when Israeli helicopters fired missiles at his car in Gaza City. The White House says while Israel has a right to defend itself, the Sharon government needs to take into account the effect its action may have on the peace process.
| If I was Sharon, I'd pull the plug on the peace processor and kill every Hamas and IJ thug I could find. Then I'd shoot their dogs. |
Palestinian leader Saeb Erakat says the situation is critical. "This will only add fuel to the fire, this will only just deepen the cycle of violence and we need a third party intervention," he said.
| That's what the road map was. The Paleos treated it with contempt. Go whine to the EU. |
