Sharon's Phoney War

    Sharon's Phony War


        By Henry Siegman <http://www.nybooks.com/authors/7175>

In recent weeks, cracks have appeared in a three-year-old Israeli 
consensus that there is no Palestinian partner for a peace process, that 
the Palestinians' real goal is the liquidation of Israel, and that to 
negotiate with Palestinians before terrorism is ended is to "reward 
terrorism."

This consensus has enabled Prime Minister Sharon's government to 
maintain that its only option is to wage an unrelenting war against the 
Palestinians that, in the words of the Israeli Defense Force's chief of 
staff, Lieutenant General Moshe Ya'alon, will "sear deep into the 
consciousness of Palestinians that they are a defeated people" before 
any political process can begin.
