"My Dad was born and raised in Israel and served as a soldier in the military there. His perspective on the current situation:

'I remember Sharon well from the time I had served in the IDF and he was commander of the paratroop brigade. He is a man who has devoted his entire adult life to killing Arabs. Does not make any distinction between armed men, or women and children. A butcher through and through.'

'As long as Israel occupies the West Bank, Israelis would have no peace and no security. Such a simple concept, and my landsmen just can't grasp it. The Palestinians may be the only people in the world today who are ruled by another people. Anyone who is familiar with apartheid cannot fail to see the similarity between the two situations.'

'Israel has three choices: Land for peace, genocide, or ethnic cleansing. With Sharon, there's no way of telling which they would choose. What a horrible prospect.'"
