Edition #62-1/2006
January 19, 2006

Dear Friend,

There have been a myriad of editorials and op-eds describing Sharon's role and influence in Israel for many decades providing a variety of views. Rather than overwhelm you with articles specifically about Sharon's actions and legacy, I am providing here only three op-eds which happened to originate in the Washington Post and then were published in many other newspapers. The remaining editorials deal with the new political realities facing Israel and the Palestinians.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
