it is as if the israelis hope to add fuel to the fire of a possible civil war, in order to use it as a pretext to *really* crush the palestinians militarily, politically
at which point sharon's older objectives can re-emerge: to advocate the "greater israel" as de facto already extant because there is no cohernet political entity amongst the palestinians with which to negociate.
it has informed sharon's treatment of the plo already.
against the backdrop of a brutal occupation.
