I don't think that it is gossip per se. Gossip is, according to
'wordnet' (try 'dict gossip' from the cli) is:
"a report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people;".

The article was exploring what the author supposed could happen based on
 political happenings that have already occurred in Israel.
In politics this is fair -- if there was any suspicion of [malicious]
gossip then Sharon would have sued already.

I found it quite interesting, but only interesting; certainly not
something to expect to actually happen -- well maybe ;-)

Blessings,

Nigel
