October 5, 2001, ABS-CBN / Reuters, Sharon says Israel won't roll over for US,
7:05 AM ZE8, Friday,
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli leader Ariel Sharon said after a Palestinian shooting attack that US efforts to win Arab support for a war on terrorism would not stop Israel from taking "all necessary measures" to defend its citizens.
"Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense," the prime minister said at a news conference on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after a Palestinian gunman, posing as an Israeli soldier, killed three people at a bus station in the northern Israeli town of Afula.
Israel's national mood darkened further after an Air Sibir plane with 66 passengers, many of them Russian-born Israelis, and 12 crew crashed in the Black Sea on a flight from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, Siberia.
