Yes, I read the link. It was interesting, the Ben Ami part anyway. Finkelstein is predictable: international law is all that matters and international law says Israel bad! US bad! bad! bad! bad! Ben Ami is a rather extreme dove (the Barak govt was one of the most dovish in Israeli history) who has been rather mugged by reality. He thought that if Israel made real, good faith, painful effort at reaching an agreement with the Palestinian, it would at least win some positive response from the other side. It didn't, just the opposite. Ben Ami tends to put the onus of that on Arafat's lack of judgment. Likudniks say that Arafat only expressed what Palestinians feel and what Arafat was paid by his backers to express, so what did he expect?
