Had to give up posting stuff about Palestine. It is so depressing - but I can't pass this up. Blisset

'Don't worry about American pressure, we control America.'

JERUSALEM: Wednesday, October 3, 2001
--An acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his foreign Minister Shimon Peres during which Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying, 'Don't worry about American pressure, we control America.'
According the Israeli Hebrew radio Kol Yisrael Wednesday, Peres warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and turn the US against us. At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying
'every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do
that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about
American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and
the Americans know it.'
The radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon against saying what he said in public, because 'it would cause us a public relations disaster.'
