...crisis, one thing has remained constant: supporting Israel is smart politics. The pro-Israel lobby, headed by the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), remains one of the most powerful in Washington. The Jewish community is as united as it has ever been in its support of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's hard-line policies. Polls show that most Americans agree. Half say they sympathize with Israel in the conflict, and only 14% back the Palestinians. Two-thirds say Sharon was justified in sending tanks into Palestinian areas in retaliation for suicide bombings. It is no surprise that Senators, including...

President Bush may be calling on Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon to lead the way to Middle East peace, but their progress will largely depend on the extent of Washington's own commitment to enforce a solution. The Bush administration has urged Arafat to end terror attacks on Israelis and warned this is his last opportunity for peace. Bush will host Sharon at the White House next week, hoping to generate momentum for an international peace conference to be convened during the summer. But despite official optimism about new prospects for peace, there's little evidence thus far of significant...
...domestic political restraints on Ariel Sharon are even more pronounced than those on Arafat. Bush wants the prime minister to enter negotiations over Palestinian statehood in the West Bank and Gaza, but what Sharon wants is to build buffer zones in those territories and enter only into "long-term interim agreements" - a notion dismissed out of hand by Palestinian and moderate Arab leaders, who have embraced a consensus for peace with Israel on the basis of some version of its 1967 borders.
