And ditto-ditto the Europeans. Yes, yes, many Europeans really do just want an end to the Israeli occupation, but the anti-Semitism coming out of Europe today suggests that deep down some Europeans want a lot more: They want Mr. Sharon to commit a massacre against Palestinians, or they want to describe what he did in Jenin as a massacre, so that the Europeans can finally get the guilt of the Holocaust off their backs and be able to shout: "Look at these Jews, they're worse than we were!"

I just attended an Arab media conference and was on a panel with Eric Rouleau, the Middle East correspondent of Le Monde, who said he had recently spoken to some French generals who told him that what Israel did in Jenin was worse than anything France did during the Algerian war. One million Algerians were killed in that war and two million were made homeless. So far 60 bodies have been recovered in Jenin, many of them fighters. You do the math.

Frankly, I'm happy President Bush is getting more involved in Mideast peacemaking. But he'll get nowhere unless he can get the parties (including his own aides) to abandon all the other wars they're fighting and to tell their own people, and each other, that there's only one war left — a war to determine the border between a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. Anyone who's fighting any other war is an enemy of peace and an enemy of America's national interest.
