What was behind Sharon's warning to the West
By Reuven Koret October 7, 2001

Publicly the furor has subsided over Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's warning to the Western democracies, and the United States in particular, not to repeat the lessons of 1938 and appease the Arabs at Israel's expense. It was dismissed by the U.S. Secretary of State as a brief "cloudburst." America and its allies understandably want to focus their attention on the expected Afghan campaign. The Israel-American media war of words is over, for now.

But behind the scenes, the anger and suspicions on both sides have not subsided. The Israeli press Sunday morning was filled with stories and speculation about why Sharon decided to go public with his unprecedented caution to the Western coalition and his comparison of the situation of Israel with that of Czechoslovakia before the Second World War.
