Eric: I don't recall hearing about this remark on the news at the time, and I suspect I would have. A Google search turns up a number of cites, but they are all on white supremacist or anti-Isreal sites. The original source is the Islamic Association for Palestine site: http://www.iap.org. The message is archived at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iapinfo/message/2132 Are there any major media citations in any country? If not, I suspect that this is a manufactured quote, like the ones we saw a few years ago where Janet Reno was alleged to indicate that Christians weren't good citizens. Regardless of what Sharon may or may not believe, I don't think he could have said this without the major media jumping all over it, in the way that Bush recently got pinged for referring to the people of Pakistan as 'Pakis' (a racial slur in Britain). Of course, one could take the self-fullfiling viewpoint that the fact that this quote only appears in extreme fringe publications is simply proof of total Jewish control of the major media. I prefer to apply Occam's Razor.
