12:25Now PlayingUpon the death of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, we look at how his legacy of separating Gaza from the West Bank and building a "separation wall" to seal off Israeli settlements has impacted the peace process in the Middle East today. Noam Chomsky, worldrenowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University; and Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, widely regarded as one of the world's leading scholars on the IsraeliArab conflict. "What [Secretary of State] John Kerry should do is insist on implementing a very broad international consensus, virtually universal, calling for a twostate settlement on the internationally recognized border," Chomsky says. "This is supported by the entire world; it's been blocked by the United States for 35 years. We should shift that policy, join the world, and carry out measures which might conceivably bring a semidecent peace."
