وصف الكتاب:
The large victory of Ariel Sharon in the elections of February 6 and the constitution under his rule of a government of national unity, with Shimon Peres, his former contemptor, as Minister of Foreign Affairs say a lot about the conscious or unconscious motivations of Israeli political society. After the procrastination of Ehud Barak, unable to honor his own commitments, after the brutal repression of the Palestinian popular movement, after the shameful rout of what was called "the peace camp", these two events confirm that Israel is not ripe for peace. Worse still: send a message of hatred and contempt to the Palestinians, Arabs and international public opinion. For the man whom the electors, out of dismay or out of spite, have brought to supreme power is not just a sober old adventurer, as we are complacently portrayed, but a war criminal. What is more, he is a repeat offender, whose "career", from the West Bank to Lebanon via the Sinai, is no less dreadful than that of Pinochet or Radovan Karadzic. His crimes, like theirs, certainly fall within the jurisdiction of an international criminal tribunal.
