Mark W. Prime Minister Sharon is doing his best to get the peace process underway, he is acting sincerely to put peace at the top of the agenda.
Two years have past since the Palestinian violence erupted in September 2000, some eight weeks after yasser arafat rejected the generous offers made by former Israeli PM Ehud Barak at the Camp David Summit, and chose violence over peace. In the past two years, the terror against Israelis has been of a kind and severity unknown in Israel. Palestinian terrorists have carried out over 6,600 terror attacks since September 2000, killing more than 620 Israeli children, women and men (80% of whom have been non-combatants and wounding over 4,500. The equivalent number in UK terms would be over 6,200 dead and 45,000 injured. There has been a clear effort by Palestinian terrorists to target unarmed, innocent civilians on the streets, on buses, in homes, at pizzerias and cafÃÃâ€*’©s, at a university campus and a Passover Seder. The impact of the terror on Israeli lives is unimaginable.
