Less than 10 minutes later, Maasdorp slammed another penalty corner past Vermont netminder Ariel Eber for the final score...
...this point, says the government of Ariel Sharon, either he does it, or we do it. The U.S. hopes to salvage its policy by pressing Abbas to take decisive action. The Administration made a gesture by slapping a freeze on the assets of six Hamas leaders and five Hamas funding organizations. But those groups are in Europe, and it's hard to imagine Hamas leaders' having accounts that can be easily frozen.

The new government was committed to settling masses of Jews in the occupied territories in order to seal Israel?s grip on territory it regarded as part of the Land of Israel. At the center of Likud?s settlement policy was its Agriculture Minister - Ariel Sharon. And Sharon made clear in the 1970s, and again in the 90s when he set out to challenge the Oslo process, that the purpose of settlements was to create "facts on the ground" that would impede the surrender of the occupied territories by Israel in any future peace deal...
