...Israelis. And then the beginnings of a process in which the President I think frankly through the confidence that he built with Prime Minister Sharon you began to get a shift in Israeli politics from the center being for a greater Israel to Likud under Ariel Sharon in the famous Herzliya speech saying we have to divide the land. That's a big shift because it's not Labor saying we have to divide the land; it's Likud saying we have to divide the land, the father of the settlement movement...
