Isn't Sharon just taking advantage of the " window of opportunity " afforded by the upcoming US elections ? Knowing full well that there's no way anyone standing's going to outright condemn any " ani-terri's " measures, never mind risk losing " the Jewish vote, " he must feel around now he can do what he wants. And so he does. Until someone in power in the USA makes it graphically clear that this kind of behaviour from right wing elements in the Israeli government ( and let's not forget that Sharon is a convicted war criminal, never mind, less overtly, but also equally clearly about the worst kind of racist, the type that doesn't just sit there and mouth off in the pub - if there's a country in the world that you wouldn't expect to put up with that style of leadership, then for God's sake, then surely... but, um... apparently not, ) then the UN and so on, worldwide condemnation, these things are a joke.
Essentially, Sharon and his guys have a long-term agenda, they'll watch and they'll wait, but it roughly translates as any time soon they can murder some arabs, you can be damn sure they're going to seize that opportunity, of which this is one.
Anyone who's casually licensed the " tactical necessity " of upwards of something like two thousand ( non-combatant, civilian deaths, that's a conservative estimate, if you look at the records, ) is simply in no position to hold public office.
Which is not to say Hamas and so on are doing the right thing, but these are are fringe groups, marginals, not democratically elected, they don't really have any popular support.
Though they will do shortly, if this carries on, as Sharon pretty clearly knows better than anyone. |
