"I felt pain after the agreement was signed; pain caused not merely by
the government's mistaken, irresponsible decisions, but chiefly by its
ministers' devilish joy at the "defeat" of their foes -- the settlers.

that's entirely yours with cries of joy -- the joy of retreat -- is a
sick phenomenon." -- Ariel Sharon, The Jerusalem Post, Sept 29, 1995
