And thus, radar has spectacularly demonstrated while you'll never get a truly unbiased view. On the upside Radar will never have control over anything larger than a few hectares of farmland. Even if unlike Radar's frothing irrational ramblings a version appears to be unbiased, the chances are it's chosen to omit certain facts.
vsp hasn't done a bad job, it's too long since I studied it to fill most of the gaps but I will add these two facts.
Sharon was in charge of multiple operations that resulted in many deaths in Lebanese refugee camps, I believe in the latter half of the 70s, in the process almost killing arafat twice, the hatred between the two goes back a long way. Over these events Sharon was indited for war crimes in Belgium.
The second is that the currant uprising caused mainly by Sharon's visiting of holy sites. It is the 3rd such uprising.
It is also worth noting that the area that is no Isreal is not the only one that was proposed at the time. There is still a signifigant Jewish colony somewhere in africa (I forget) that was from an earlier attempt (that year or a few earlier) to create a jewish state.
