Does this mean they're now finished scrambling for the money?

... my country having as usual distinguished itself by its craven willingness to go ahead with the conflicting lies spun by the unlovely bunch gathering around the deathbed.

Only good thing about this death, the timing, just as Sharon won a difficult Knesseth debate to evacuate Gaza, with his party voting against and Labour supporting him. So that gives an opening of sorts for further negotiation, assuming everyone is grown-up about things - and how much of that have we seen in the Middle-East in the past 50 years?

That's a good thing, seeing as how they were planning his funeral earlier in the week...
