The thought is that Sharon prefers Hamas, which wants war, to Arafat, who wants peace. If you get rid of the guys who want peace, you can happily make war against the enemies who'd rather fight than switch. There is no non-circumstantial evidence in favor of this hypothesis, but the circumstantial evidence is moderately compelling. jks
