UK and US press are not distorting the facts. It is the entire western world that is reporting accurately the evils of extremist Jewish leaders.

Clinton said it best a few months ago--neither side will get everything they want. Israel will lose East Jerusalem (which they took illegally anyway) and Palestine will not be a completely connected state and will be very dependent on Israel. Sharon simply reminds me too much of Netanyahu, and the peace process will again be derailed. But the Palestinians rioting in the streets will not help their cause either.
It would also seem that Israelis change their minds as often as Americans. From Netanyahu to Barak to Sharon in what? A few years? Less than that.
I don't know if you've already been there tw, but you might be interested in checking out Amnesty International's website. They have extensive documentation on Israel.
