Tel Aviv, June 3 - Marwan Barghuti, the Fatah chief for the West Bank raised a brave defence in a Zionist court on Monday.
"How can you take us to court for our struggle against occupation when even your Prime Minister recognises its evil deeds?" the chief of Arafat's Fatah group asked the judges.
Barghuti demanded the Israeli government "apologise for the 36 years of occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories which the Jewish state seized in the 1967 Middle East war.
Sharon had said last week that Israel could not go on inflicting an "occupation regime" on 3.5 million Palestinians and warned of its negative effects on both sides.
Following an outcry his comments caused among his right-wing supporters, the Prime Minister revised his words and stressed the appropriate term was "the disputed territories".
