Gila Svirsky argues Sharon knows exactly what he is doing:
“Sharon has sown chaos and misery, and, above all, has kept the Palestinian population in a constant state of turmoil. His scorched earth policy is not a mistake, but a deliberate strategy to grind the population into submission, to prevent the rise of a sovereign state, to allow Israel to continue its domination. And if these cruel measures give rise to belligerent, anti-Israeli activity, all the better. Palestinian terrorism is what gives legitimacy to Israel–both domestically and internationally–to maintain its brutal boot on the neck of ‘out-of-control Palestinians’.”
