Dunams and wars

Abstract

Since the early 1990's, the Israeli society has been accustomed to a complex view of reality, which is highly confusing. In its core there was a tireless strive for peace, which somehow never materializes: We want to return the Golan Heights, but it doesn't work out. We finally withdraw from Lebanon, but leave a friction point in Mount Dov (Shebaa farm), which just might be what will ignite the next war with Syria. We agree to return to the Palestinians most of the lands occupied in 1967, but in the meantime we confiscate more and more lands and double the settlements. But now, all of a sudden, everything turned simple and clear. Sharon, in a surprisingly candid interview with Ari Shavit (Ha'aretz, weekend supplement, 13.4.01), decided to tell the people the truth.
