Ariel Sharon, interview with Fox in August 2001. This the result of 25 second on Google.
I suppose you would call him Sharon, that miserable jew-hating terror-sympathizer. Given how he seeks to generate sympathy for the people who kill Israelis.
PRIME MINISTER SHARON: Look, usually I think that one should look not at what one says, but at what one did, or does. Not the declarations, but deeds. Since Arafat's statement three days ago in Rome, we had 88 acts of terror already since then.
So I think that we have to look not at words, but at deeds and acts. By now, we don't see any change whatsoever. Myself, I asked Arafat, I sent him a message, I sent him a list of names of terrorist -- those who were preparing acts of murder and terror and violence,
those who are preparing suicide bombers, those are preparing the car bombs. I asked him to arrest them. No steps have been taken by him. And I made it very clear that we have to defend our citizens. We have to defend our lives. And that therefore, we had to take counterterrorist steps. That's what we have been doing.
It's not a cycle of terror here. On the one hand, we have murderers, killers,
suicide bombers. On the other hand, we are taking defensive counterterrorist measures. That's what we are doing.
...
PRIME MINISTER SHARON: Again, I would like to say that I think there's an entirely different situation here. We have, on the one hand, we have terror mostly carried out by the Palestinian Authority - terror acts, murder, assassinations,
suicide bombers.
On the other hand we are taking defensive means.
We are intercepting suicide bombers on the way to commit their crimes. And of course, the question is, what the United States would have done if the United States would have known that a group of terrorists were on their way to commit a terrible crime in the center of civilian populations. Would they have sat waiting until that will happen? I don't think so.
...
But of course, one must understand Arafat could avoid it. That's in his hand. He got the list of about 100 terrorists, who are preparing now all those car bombs and roadside bombs, and are
mobilizing those suiciders, are preparing them, are sending them to commit their crimes. What he has to do is just to stop them.
