PM Sharon opts to launch campaign with lie?
Excerpts:
“‘I do not plan to carry out any other plan. There is no plan of an
additional separation. There is only the Road Map.some settlements in the final agreement may be evacuated but until then there are no plans for additional evacuations.'”
“By telling the general public that he plans no retreats Sharon allows them to feel comfortable voting for his party while he can still enjoy the support of the media and intelligentsia (and perhaps most important what appears to be immunity from indictment as long as future retreats are in the offing) that knows he actually plans to retreat.”
“It remains to be seen if such an approach boomerangs as the public resents the insult to their intelligence.”
Not much that one can add to Aaron Lerner’s analysis. He’s right on the money! MB
