<<< ... Also efficiently "disappeared" are recent events that bear more than a superficial similarity to the Klinghoffer murder. The reaction was silence when British reporters found "the flattened remains of a wheelchair" in the remnants of the Jenin refugee camp after Sharon's spring 2002 offensive. "It had been utterly crushed, ironed flat as if in a cartoon," they reported: "In the middle of the debris lay a broken white flag." A crippled Palestinian, Kemal Zughayer, "was shot dead as he tried to wheel himself up the road. The Israeli tanks must have driven over the body, because when [a friend] found it, one leg and both arms were missing, and the face, he said, had been ripped in two." If even reported in the US, this would have been dismissed as an inadvertent error in the course of justified retaliation. Kemal Zughayer does not deserve to enter the annals of terrorism along with Leon Klinghoffer.

The conflict was named the "Al-Aqsa Intifada" by the Palestinians not because it followed Ariel Sharon's ascent to the plaza adjoining the mosque of that name, but because the subjects of Jerusalem in general, and the Temple Mount in particular, were central to the deliberations at Camp David. An article recently published by Moshe Amirav, one of the advisers to then prime minister Ehud Barak, states that without Israel completely relinquishing sovereignty over the Temple Mount, there may be no compromise between us and them. Amirav was right. The question of whether there could be an Israeli government capable of completely relinquishing the Temple Mount is a separate issue. However, as long as Israel's government insists on any degree of control of the holy site, there will be no agreement with the Palestinians, nor with the Arab world.
