I have brought an article by Henry Siegman in the past. His latest opinion piece is another strong indictment of Arik Sharon and his policies.
“Sharon is not about to agree to the most minimal conditions for viable Palestinian statehood. His unshakable resolve to avoid dealing with the Palestinians – even to prevent chaos in the wake of the promised withdrawal from Gaza – and to widen Jewish settlement activity throughout the West Bank gives the lie to such wishful thinking.”
“Sharon has candidly insisted that he intends to disengage from Gaza only because he believes it is the price Israel must pay for retaining enough of the West Bank to assure permanent Israeli control of the area. On Tuesday he announced massive new construction in the West Bank settlements.”
