He told Bush that after the "glamorous" victory of the U.S. in Iraq and before pulling out American troops from Baghdad, he just wanted to keep the American president posted on the situation in Israel.

The Israeli journalist said Bush has now become the talk of the Israeli people, who call on him to "pass by and impose discipline."

He recalled that two friends of his told him that Israel would have witnessed an economic boom if the Israeli government had not "wasted" its budget on the military operations in the Palestinian territories, citing the towering death toll of Israeli soldiers in Natzarem settlement.

He said the people of Israel are waiting eagerly for Bush, hoping that he would not fail them, adding that the U.S. troops in the Middle East had matched now the number of the Israeli military and were equipped with the state-of-art weaponry in addition to a team of arms inspectors.

The Israelis, said the journalist-cum-analyst, suffered from a "regional scar" that threatened the world security as much as the toppled Iraqi regime did, asserting that anarchy had swept his country.

The Israeli journalist told Bush that the "Sharonite" Israel was a mirror image of the "Saddamite" Iraq and nothing compared to the "Rabinite," "Perezite," "Beginite," or even the "Shamirite" Isreal. (In reference to Sharon, Saddam Hussein, Yitzhak Rabin, Menahem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir respectively.)

He said the "Sharonite" Israel has revolved into a mix of democracy and dictatorship, led by a "ruler" who sees nothing but military power and who had "poked his son into politics."

The journalist said Sharon is flanked with "fake" reporters, who "extract" false statements from him about the so-called "painful concessions."

He accused Sharon, who is wanted by the Belgian courts to stand trial on charges of war crimes, of fooling the entire world.

The Israeli "ruler", continued the Israeli journalist, occupied a neighboring autonomous territory, besieged its leader (Palestinian President Yasser Arafat) and liquidated other (Palestinian) leaders.

This "ruler" intimidates his media, is accompanied by a number of hypocrite ministers and runs a huge army that is out of all proportion to the small size of the Israeli population, he said.

The Israeli journalist told Bush in his message that this "ruler" was exploiting the insecurity felt by the Israelis to solidify his rule.

He said the Israeli economy has taken a downward trajectory, charging that Israeli opposition figures are not vocal enough and that Israel's Supreme Court cannot even stop the policy of "target assassination" adopted by the Israeli government.

The Israeli journalist-cum-analyst further said that the Israeli information minister was becoming a replica of his former Iraqi counterpart Mohamed Saeed al-Sahaf.

Add to all that, he said, this place (Israel) provokes feelings of revenge and hatred in the Muslim world and possesses weapons of mass destruction that could be easily found by chief U.N. arms inspector Hans Blix.

But the Israeli journalist told Bush that there was no pressing need to send U.S. troops to Israel, which was already crowded with its soldiers, joking that the two sides could suffer fatalities with "friendly fire."

He appealed to Bush to help them "remove this mine, which is more combustible than the Iraqi one." (In reference to the occupation of the rest of the Palestinian territories in 1967."

"In a nutshell, just help us," he said.
