Ariel Sharon dead at 85, and I'll shed no tears
Predictably, the MSM is having their field day with this news, using labels like "extremists" in their coverage:
Five years later, Sharon was again barreling headlong into controversy, bulldozing ahead with his plan to pull Israel out of the Gaza Strip and uproot all 8,500 Jewish settlers living there without regard to threats to his life from Jewish extremists.Neither of these arguments makes any sense, because in the end, it only enabled the Hamas to launch rocket attacks more easily.
His allies said the move was a revolutionary step in peacemaking; his detractors said it was a tactical sacrifice to strengthen Israel's hold on much of the West Bank.
Plus, he also had a record of what would today be considered aggravated assault, among other offenses like accepting bribery from the Austrian businessman Martin Schlaff, violent suppression of democratic protests, and even a casino scandal.
Joel Pollak is a bit more honest in his coverage of a man who, after the horrific way he behaved in his advanced age, I cannot and will not talk about in respectful terms, because he doesn't deserve it. His negative actions make it impossible.
