Titolo: è un pezzo che dico che Barak è un sabotatore della pace

voglio il posto di Gideon su Haaretz, che arriva sempre in ritardo
rispetto alle mie brillanti intuizioni:
A minister of war
he has turned into the chief saboteur of any chance for a calm in the
fighting, a cease-fire or diplomatic progress. Barak has long forsaken
talk of peace. He certainly does not believe in Olmert's peace
initiative and istrying his best to destroy it.
If you fear Likud Chair Benjamin Netanyahu, how much worse can his
potential damage to the peace process be than Barak's? Their rhetoric,
as well as their actions, have now become indistinguishable. If calm
seems at hand, Barak gives the go-ahead for a silly and dangerous
assassination attempt in tranquil Bethlehem; just to rekindle the
fire, lest there be a lull.
If there's a lull in Qassams fired, then Barak does everything he can
to ensure their renewal to justify the "large-scale op" in Gaza he
intends to make. IF Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is
desperately trying to push forward talks, Barak eliminates any chance
of bolstering his support. If Hamas suggests a cease-fire, Barak
responds: "We will witness harsh scenes in Gaza before a calm is
reached." If all's quiet on the northern front, then Israeli pyromania
claims Hezbollah's Imad Mughniyah, according to allegations. The
security establishment does as it pleases: Killing; destroying;
barring; seizing funds; issuing orders
to close stores and factories in the West Bank; allowing construction
in West Bank settlements; utterly humiliating the Palestinian
Authority. It is oblivious to negotiations, Israeli commitments or
lofty talk of peace.
Barak, as vociferous as the most zealot settler or a Hamas leader,
bragged about the Bethlehem operation. "Once again, we've proved that
Israel will search and destroy murderers with Jewish blood on their
hands," he said. Once again, he has proved that he talks and thinks
only of revenge. Is he unaware of the 2006 High Court decision that
prohibits targeted killings intended to punish, avenge or deter? Or is
he simply ignoring it? One of the son's of those killed in Bethlehem
said IDF soldiers promised to put his father whom he had not seen in a
decade in a body-bag. Something for Barak to take pride in. He has
unleashed the Israel Defense Forces on the Palestinians and ordered
shows of force, including the failed Gaza op which killed 120 people
and produced zero results. Hamas had been talking about a cease-fire,
and who rejected it? Israel, the peace objector.
Instead of issuing a clear IDF order to calm the area to coincide with
the government's new initiative, he is doing everything he can to
disrupt it. And we have yet to mention morality: Long gone are the
days when targeted killings were disputed. When people argued they
were carried out only against "ticking bombs." Now, even retired
terrorists are being killed in cold blood in their cars. They are
charged with old crimes and executed without trial, instead of being
arrested, a method that would prevent the next outbreak of violence
while remaining moral.
Barak is not alone. Though his political party is small and ailing, it
is nonetheless a political party, and its silence is abominable. Shas
can milk more and more construction plans
for the settlements, but Labor is not even trying to obtain its goals.
Where have Amir Peretz, Ami Ayalon, Yuli Tamir, Shelly Yachimovich,
Colette Avital, Raleb Majadele and Ophir Pines-Paz gone at a time that
their party leader is leading them to oblivion? Why do they not raise
their voices in protest? And why doesn't the prime minister restrain
his defense minister?
When the conflagration begins, very soon, because of Barak's policies,
none of them will be free from blame. They will all be remembered as
full participants in the terrible disgrace. Then we'll remember how
there used to be hope, but that the Labor leader, of all people, did
everything he could to sabotage it. And no one did a thing.
