The (Evasion Of) Peace Process
What I dig about the far right in most countries is that they're honest. Horrifically honest.
Here's Dov Weinglass, Ariel Sharon's senior advisor, in a very important interview with Ha'aretz:
... this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission. All with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress... there will not be a political process with the Palestinians.
I also appreciate that Weinglass explains Sharon's strategy is in response to various threats. Not threats from Palestinians, of course, but threats from Israelis who'd like peace:
Time was not on our side... Domestically... the Geneva Initiative had gained broad support. And then we were hit with the letters of officers and letters of pilots and letters of commandos [refusing to serve in the territories].
The supposed "peace process" has always been about evading peace. But it's progress to have it out in the open. Just like it's progress to have it out in the open that our only agenda with Iraq since 1991 has been ousting Saddam, rather than all the bullshit about WMD, human rights, etc.
