I'd love to agree with u. Support the peace makers and ignore Sharon and Arafat. But 1000 pounds of TNT is hard to ignore. They need to be condemned. Both Sharon and Arafat are feeding off the violence. But Arafat is an irrelevance. The Palestinian authority has been decaptitated. There is no one left to point the finger at on the Palestinian side. You think peace has any chance in that region? I dunno. Call me cynical, but there's an ideological issue with the very nature of Israel (both a theocracy and a secular - often socialist - democracy) that is an antagonistic presence in the region. I dont see how, unless Israel fully secularises and accepts that there are many different ppl of different faiths living in the region, who have EQUAL claim over the same land - that there will ever be peace. Maybe that's an option too hard for Israeli's to bear. I know it's an option that's too hard for large groups of Palestinians to bear.
