Did Ariel Sharon really say this?

Edited on Fri Dec-19-03 11:31 PM by syrinx9999

on edit: I didn't mean to put this in the Primary forum. I haven't got used to the new setup yet. Sorry.

I have come across this quote numerous times in the last couple of years, but only on "alternative" websites. Does anyone know if he really said it? I'm skeptical, but curious.

"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."

1. There is a ram file from a radio show floating around somewhere

on the net. Periodically, someone asks if he said it, regime loyalists deny it, and someone finds the ram file. Then everybody argues about whether the ram file is real.

I think his quotes from the 1956 interview are worse, he could have said this just goofing around, assuming he ever goofs around, which I acknowledge is a big assumption.

3. this sounds toooo much like a manufactured quote...

....
it is just what the haters of Jews and Israel would want --- tailor made. It's too pat.

put snopes.com on the job, but I'll bet my next paycheck against Pat Buchanan's this is a fake.

(P.S.: Pat makes a lot more than me.)

5. associating sharon with any religious or ethnic group is pretty hateful

Kind of like dissing Asians because Genghis Khan was a sonofabitch.

2. Could be.

I think it's safe to say that he is a Zionist. Something that some Jews virulently oppose, like Alfred Liliental for one . . .

4. "Did Ariel Sharon really say this?"

If it's on the internet it must be true.
