You have it backwards. Too many are scared to ride the bus because of Sharon and Likud exist. These were not problems when Rabin was negotiating the Oslo Accord. Likud had to all but advocated the assination of Rabin because the Oslo Accords are the enemy of Likud. Sharon is personally responsible for creating Intafada 2 in Sept 2000 - as part of a greater plan to annex occupied territories. This violence and terror was started by Likud, in general, and by Sharon, in particular.
The first step in destroying the peace process was to murder Rabin - as all but called for by most every right wing extemist such as Sharon. The following violence was directly traceable to the right wing program to destroy the peace process. From the man who bangs pots in Arab neighborhoods on every Islamic Sabbath to the men who steal Arab land to build highways to illegal West Bank settlements. The total lack of judicial review or law enforcement makes violence inevitable.
Murder and death was always necessary in the possession of land. It is why we created court systems - to make that murder and death unnecessary. It is why the Israeli Supreme Court was all but gutted - so that land could be stolen without even a fair hearing. No legal protection means that murder and death will always be the only alternative.
Why does all this violence occur? We keep coming back to the same point - Pax Israel and a greedy right wing extremist Likud mentality.
They never forgot humiliation when their illegal settlements were removed, by force, by the Israeli Army, from the Sinai - as required by peace. Elimination of those West Bank and Gaza settelements are also irrefutiblely necessary for peace. Likud, et al will never let elimination of illegal settelements happen in the West Bank. Thereforewe have the current violence - in part so that you will forget how illegal every Israeli settlement in the West Bank and Gaza is. So will you not see the latest programs to steal possession of the land. So that you will not notice the extensive building boom ongoing in those occupied territories. These are why death rates should actually be higher.
Middle East violence is all about who gets the land - as it has been since before there was organized religion. A peaceful solution is clearly defined. But one party is doing everything it can to destroy that Internationally defined peace settlement. The one man most destroying an International peace is the same man who all but tried to get every reader here killed in nuclear war and who organized the massacre of 5000 women and children. Creating violence and war is a normal part of this man's life.
There is plenty of blame to go around - and it all now centers around Ariel Sharon. Sharon is in power because he wants to destroy peace. That peace sits directly in his path to stealing the occupied territories. One would have to be blind to not see that. Although others are culpable, there is only one man who is cuplable in every violent act today - Ariel Sharon.
