Ariel Sharon is taking power at a time when Israel is wondering what kind of 'partner' it has in Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasir Arafat. He may have been elected as a 'punishment' to the Palestinians to let them know just how annoyed the Israeli public is because they could not accept the most generous offer any nation has ever offered under any circumstances. Despite what the Palestinian leaders may say about the offer, many Palestinians on the street are wondering just what their leaders were smoking. This isn't the first time their leaders have given a song and dance about how they would accomplish everything and the kitchen sink, but deliver absolutely nothing. It was the same way in 1947-48.
Meanwhile, Hamas, the terrorist organization that has been blamed for numerous bombings, had their website bombed by some group of intrepid hackers. The conflict between Israelis and Arabs has gone to the Internet - a possible sign that some are tiring of the incessant violence or perhaps an extension of the violence and sign of more mayhem to come. Hamas has blamed Israeli intelligence agencies for the attack on its website that redirected traffic to a porno site. This attack was just the most recent in a string of attacks against both Israeli and Arab website that has included the official government websites for the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
