Even less legitimate is that attempt to provide an ideological gloss for Arab weakness with the claim that Sharon has changed and that now the Arabs have an opportunity they must not forfeit.
Because I'm sure hearing that meme, particularly in the comments about how since Sharon withdrew from Gaza that the ball is totally in the Pals court and that they virtually have to stop all terrorism before any other positive actions could possibly be considered. I've even heard that as a somewhat veiled justification for the continuation of the building of settlements, or of the appropriation of more Pal land, by the construction of the wall. Meanwhile, Israeli retaliation for any Pal violence makes sure the violence keeps coming. A very neat box the Pals have been painted into.
None of this is a big surprise, of course.
