Less than 10 minutes later, Maasdorp slammed another penalty corner past Vermont netminder Ariel Eber for the final score...
...Bush administration approach has been to act as if Arafat simply didn't exist - although it continued to restrain Ariel Sharon from expelling the Palestinian leader from the occupied territories, mindful of the regional crisis that such a move could trigger. Instead, Washington would simply ignore the elected leader of the Palestinians and deal only with the prime minister designated by the U.S. as Arafat's successor.

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...
