When Even An Ari Shavit Begins To See The Light

From Haaretz:

By Ari Shavit | 09.08.12

Soul-searching on Syria

If we'd given the Golan in return for peace ["Peace" means "Peace Treaty" and "Peace Treaty," with those who are either Muslims or want, like the Alawites, to pretend to be, means -- when Israel is the other party -- the Treaty of Hudaibiyya]. in the 2000s, then today we'd already have bloodshed. If we had gone to bed with Assad a decade ago, today we'd be waking up with jihad.

No one likes to admit they were wrong. I don't, either. But sometimes you have no choice.

[for now the full article is apparently available only to subscribers --when it appears in full, I'll post it]
