It is done behind the scenes, a diplomat tells another diplomat that the order for the f16 parts might be shipped in late and the diplomat gets the threat. The point is, as far as I know it, Bush started up this talk about a peace plan(created with Saudi Arabia I think), not sharon. This is just another U.S. president trying to win a noble peace prize.
He should have just left this situation alone, it is not his business to fix everything that is messed up.

Illusha,
It's called the Road Map to Peace, not Peace Plan. You should do some research beyond whatever sites you are currently using. I'll help you out
Road Map to Peace Next, if you look at the some of the more prominent members of the Bush Administration, there have been several Jewish Neo-Cons - are they anti-Semetic? Does that demonstrate anti-Semetism by Bush in appointing them? If you doubt this, type in Jewish Neo-Con and I would be willing to bet money that you'll come up with dozens of leftist conspiracy websites that will list all of them. Of course, that will kind of zap your argument.
Next, so what if the Road Map to Peace plan was helped to be developed by Saudi Arabia - does that automatically taint it in your eyes? Don't you think that's rather bigoted to dismiss something you seemingly know very little about?
It's probably a good thing that you're joining the military, as it should help you overcome these prejudices once you're forced to work with others you may not normally associate with.
Finally, what is your argument then on the way forward to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? The status quo certainly hasn't been successful given that we are on the second intifada. Remember, if you invoke God, your are using the same ideology that Al Qaeda is using to justify their terror campaign.
