<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two weeks ago, while I was moving apartments,
someone broke into my old apartment through a window and stole some boxes of my
stuff, including my computer (plus my Israeli and American passports, drivers
liscence, etc.) It took until two days ago to get my girlfriends old
computer updated with more memory and such, so that I could use it. Finding the
thousand some e-mails (moslty LBO) was real fun. Sorry if I don't read all
of them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, here is a decent article from
todays Ha'aretz which explicitly points the finger at Sharon for actively
provoking an escalation in the violence. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3>From Ha'aretz, Jan 23:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3>"There is mounting evidence that Ariel
Sharon is in the middle of a plan for major escalation. And it won't be over
until he's more than partially satisfied. "<BR><BR>"This dangerous leader ups
the ante in his poker game every week. Israel failed to meet the conditions for
renewal of the talks after a period of quiet. That period came and went while
Sharon kept upping the ante. Let's remember, for example, that in the three
weeks before Arafat's cease-fire speech on December 16, 44 Israelis were killed,
while only one was killed in the three weeks following the speech.
