The Palestinian reaction to Sharon’s death highlights the necessity of the int’l community to clam down on the messages of hatred, destruction being taught in Palestinian schoolrooms.
Ariel Sharon was a fierce defender of Israel who fought valiantly and led Israel to victory in the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War and the Lebanon War, among others. He was a man who was willing to make incredibly significant land concessions for peace and was willing to engage with the other side, no matter how hostile it was at times. He was willing to evict 10,000 of his own people from the Gaza Strip in order to try to establish peace.
