"Since Israel has effectively ended the “peace process” or whatever else it may have been called in different stages of its mutations, it desperately seeks new crutches to lean on."

"As long as the European Union continues to treat the "human rights clause" of its Association Agreement with Israel as a dead letter and fails to suspend the Agreement in response to Israel's crimes - possibly as the first step towards the imposition of full sanctions - the Union will be open to the accusation that it is sacrificing the Palestinian people on the altars of Mammon and bad faith."

"The violent events exposed the inherent paradox in Sharon's plan: in order to get out of the despised Gaza region, Israel is getting deeper into it. The unilateral idea of leaving a "security vacuum" on the other side, without a credible authority to assure security and quiet, threatens to turn disengagement into a bloody mess, with Hamas and others trying to hit at the departing Israelis. Keeping a "security zone" in post-withdrawal Gaza, no matter how narrow, is a recipe for ongoing violence, undermining Israel's claim to "end the occupation.""
