"Sharon and Arafat" radio episode

Title

"Sharon and Arafat" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the topic of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the early 2000s. AuCoin discusses the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas; sharing his opinion that Yasser Arafat should not be the only one held accountable (by whom is unclear), but Ariel Sharon as well. He states "the bottom line is, of course we can't absolve Yasser Arafat of all responsibility for this crisis; at the same time, it's dangerous to condone Sharon." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2001.
