Document Summary
Lecture 24: the sharon years: ariel sharon became pm, was a war guy, expected to be all muscle/fighting, but turned into a funny type of peacemaker. Second intifada involved a lot of suicide terrorism. Sharon & others felt peace process going nowhere, brute force as well. Legacy of sharon written about by aronoff, sharon went from warrior to advocating withdrawal (insisting israelis exit territories to give them to palestinians) Likud regained political domination in 2003, sharon elected, but likud not what it used to be: kadima formed, the forward party, dues ex machina. Strong feeling in buffer areas that there is a war: february 2001 pm election: ariel sharon (likud) 62. 38%, ehud barak (labor) 37. 61, stark statement by israeli people clear that they didn"t want to continue with oslo, Camp david: recall that sharon was forced to design after palestinian refugee camp massacre that. Irony that person vilified in 1982 elected by a lot.
