Well, like I said, it all depends on whether you think one side in this conflict is "the good guys". I don't. But I do think that all people are essentially more good than bad in their original true nature. Trouble is, their original nature is under a constant barrage from outside, and they don't react well to that. It brings out the worst in most of them.

I think that the Sharon government is carrying out a mistaken policy of regional aggression that is not in the true interests of Israelis. Sharon thinks otherwise. That's his privilege.

If I were an Israeli, I would be assisting his political opponents, looking for ways to achieve peace, and hoping for a change in government ASAP. The guy who killed Rabin must be the happiest man in Israel...he's gotten exactly what he wanted. Violence on a small scale has produced violence on a grand scale.
