Date: 2003-05-11 10:51 am (UTC)However, the biggest obstacle in the path right now is Ariel Sharon. Every concession I've seen over the last couple of months has come from the Palestinian side, random violence aside (which have also been mirrored by Israeli violence). I've been following Ariel Sharon's career ever since Lebanon - how as Minister of Housing he pursued an agressive settlement policy - conquest by architecture, I called it. I've seen how he goes out of the way to antagonize the Palestinians and try to provoke them into positions where he can claim justification to use extreme force. There are other Israeli obstacles to the peace process, but like I said, he's the biggest one, weight jokes notwithstanding.
Show me Sharon has given any indication he's serious about peace and I'll ease up on the man. Yes, removing him won't guarantee peace, but I am quite certain it will guarantee some kind of progress down that line.
