Sarai, I suggest you read a book. it was written 20 years a go. its name is Why the jews by Prager and Telushkin. All the complaints that have been raised in the last few years are the same complaints by the same groups of people 20 and even 30 years ago. And you can go back 40 years, 50 years or even 100 years ago. It does not change.
Sharon is trying to make the best of it. If you read the news carefully you will find that very few PLO people are being killed by the IDF, but Hamas and Islamic Jihad are suffering. Consider why. Ask yourself where the Israelis miraculously get information about terrorists in the middle of gaza or jenin. then take a look at debka.
