Palestinians Killed in Gaza Clashes

CNN is reporting at least 10 dead and yet, on the same page, it seems mystified that PM Ariel Sharon is receiving death threats.

I stand by my assertion from early on that Sharon's reappointment in Israel was every bit as bad for his people and for the world as a whole as George W. Bush's was here. These two men do not know the meaning of peace or shalom. And while I'd happily include Arafat in this mix, Sharon and Bush have spent so long pretending Arafat no longer exists that it's difficult to summon up his name.
