Amna,
The Majority of people in Israel do not agree with you. They support Sharon. They also know its not been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that he was responsible for what happened in Lebanon. I have read plenty about it, but the evidence is still not 100% conclusive. The Israely people knew all about it before they had the opportunity to vote for him and they decided that Sharon would make a good leader. So far Sharon has maintained his support.
If Israel is not a democracy then there is no such thing as democracy anywhere. Most people including most Israely's consider Israel to be a democracy.
Israel today has the 22nd highest standard of living in the world, while the Occupied Palestinian Territories is at #98 and Syria is at #110. Israel continues to defend itself against Barbaric acts which target innocent civilians. Palestinians and Syrians continue to support these Barbaric acts despite the fact that their people continue to live in poor conditions relative to Israel. When are they going to focus their energy on improving the Standard of Living where they live instead of wasting their energy on trying to kill Israely teens in disco's. Where is the Arab and Palestininian NON-VIOLENT movement? 50 years of war and terrorism has not achieved anything for the Palestinians and Arabs. After 50 years of no progress and in fact, having loss ground, isn't it time they adopted a new strategy that actually has a chance to achieve their goals of and independent Palestine and a better standard of living for their people. Israel has achieved its goals of an independent state. They have one of the highest standards of living in the world. When are Arabs and Palestinians going to realize that if they want to achieve their goals, they will have to switch from the 50 year policy of war and terrorism to a policy of non-violent protest and investment in their childerns future instead of using them to blow up Disco's in Israel.
Arabs and Palestinians can achieve an independent state for Palestine and a better standard of living for their people, but it means giving up investing in the failed policies of the past 50 years and investing in policies of non-violent action that actually have a chance of achieving their goals. It means educating their childern instead of brainwashing (75 Virgins) them to commit suicide while in the process of killing innocent people.
The arguement that they commit suicide bombings because of the conditions they live in is a flawed one, because most people in Sub-Saharan Africa live in far worse conditions, yet they don't strap bombs to themselves to go kill innocent people.
