In the past, and through his words and actions, Barak helped to set in motion the process of delegitimizing the Palestinians and the peace process, thereby enabling Ariel Sharon to deal with them as he saw fit

This gets to the core of the current conflict of perceptions. Can one speak of an "peace process" that co-exists with the suicide bombers of the intifada? Barak, Sharon, and the majority of the Israeli people say NO, this terrorism is unacceptable (unlike the Europeans, when they say 'unacceptable' they really mean they won't accept it). Arafat, Agha and Malley and the majority of the Palestinian people say YES, therefore they accuse Barak of "delegitimizing" a peace process which to Israeli eyes is utterly defunct.
