Those are two reasons among many as to why I not only did not buy a Boston Globe this morning; I am also not even going to do a tour or run down with you because it would just be a waste of your time and mine.
SDEROT, Israel — Ariel Sharon’s death Saturday elicited a wide range of responses from Palestinians, but sadness wasn’t one: Some cheered and distributed sweets while others prayed for divine punishment for the former Israeli leader or recalled his central role in some of the bloodiest episodes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I must admit, Sharon was the exception to the rule. I'm normally sad when anyone dies, but I was happy when I heard he was dead. The world is just a bit brighter today with that Zionist filth removed from existence.
Palestinians widely loathed Sharon as the mastermind of crushing military offensives against them in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza and as the architect of Israel’s biggest settlement campaign on lands they want for a state.
The news traveled quickly in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut, where Israeli-allied forces slaughtered hundreds of Palestinians in September 1982, three months after Sharon engineered the invasion of Israel’s northern neighbor….
Statements poured in from Israeli politicians, foreign diplomats, American Jewish leaders, Palestinian opponents, and critical human rights groups. The admirers, almost as a mantra, described him as a “brave soldier and military commander’’; detractors accused him of long-ago war crimes.
Many noted that his life and career had paralleled and been enmeshed with the development of his country, for better or worse.
“There are very few people whose actions have shaped and developed the state of Israel up until now in the way that Ariel Sharon did,” said Dov Weissglas, his former lawyer and adviser. “Today is the end of an era.”
(Cheers rise)
Tzipi Livni, Israel’s centrist justice minister and a Sharon protégé, described him as “a farmer, a fighter, and a prime minister who became a father of a nation.”
“But more than anything he was a man I loved,” Livni said in a statement. “We had eight years to say goodbye, and yet we couldn’t. We say goodbye to him now.”
Byyyyyyyyyyyyye!! Bub-byyyyyyyye…. shitter!!!
Sharon was expected to lie in state Sunday at Israel’s Parliament building in Jerusalem, where an official memorial is scheduled for Monday morning. Burial is planned for Monday afternoon here on Anemone Hill, overlooking the Sharons’ Sycamore Ranch, where his sons were expected to eulogize him in a private service.
Vice President Joe Biden will lead the US delegation.
In a statement, President Obama said Sharon had dedicated his life to Israel. “We reaffirm our unshakable commitment to Israel’s security and our appreciation for the enduring friendship between our two countries and our two peoples. We continue to strive for lasting peace and security for the people of Israel, including through our commitment to the goal of two states living side-by-side in peace and security.”
What a crock, and how can you speak with your nose attached to the top of the Israeli ass crack?

While Israeli politicians of all stripes found something to praise Sharon for, Palestinians and others were blunt in their criticism. Hamas, the militant Islamic faction that leads the Gaza Strip, called the death “a sign of God’s punishment and a lesson to all tyrants.”
Yes.
Mustafa Barghouti, a moderate member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s central council, told the BBC that Sharon had left “no good memories with Palestinians.”
“Unfortunately, he had a path of war and aggression and a great failure in making peace with the Palestinian people,” Barghouti said.
Yeah, strange how those things don't leave good memories of people no matter how good, great, or nice my newspaper thinks they are.
Al Manar, the satellite television station affiliated with the militant organization Hezbollah, used the headline “The Death of the Criminal of Sabra and Shatila” on its website.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, called it a “shame that Sharon has gone to his grave without facing justice” for, among other things, his role in the Sabra and Shatila massacres. She called his death “another grim reminder that years of virtual impunity for rights abuses have done nothing to bring Israeli-Palestinian peace any closer.”

"Ariel Sharon, 85; general, later prime minister of Israel" by Ethan Bronner | New York Times, January 12, 2014
This article is the unread obituary from Sunday that I never got around to; I have been watching the eulogies pour in at other places.
NEW YORK — In many ways, Mr. Sharon’s story was that of his country. A champion of an iron-fisted, territory-expanding Zionism for most of his life, he stunned Israel and the world in 2005 with a Nixon-to-China reversal and withdrew all Israeli settlers and troops from the Gaza Strip.
Which is why despite the control of western governments, media, and financial institutions, it is one of the most hated and reviled regimes in all history.
How strange to see the Z-word in my Zionist War Daily and bastion of Jewish supremacism.
He abandoned his Likud party and formed a centrist movement called Kadima focused on further territorial withdrawal and a Palestinian state next door.
Mr. Sharon was incapacitated in January 2006, and in elections that followed, Kadima still won the most votes. His former deputy, Ehud Olmert, became prime minister.
And he led a war criminal attack using chemical weapons on Lebanon soon after.
But the impact of Mr. Sharon’s political shift went beyond Kadima. The hawkish Likud party, led by his rival Netanyahu, was returned to power in 2009, and Netanyahu, too, said he favored a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
An architect of Israeli settlements in the occupied lands, Mr. Sharon gained infamy for his harsh tactics against the Palestinians over whom Israel ruled. That reputation began to soften after his election as prime minister in 2001, when he first talked about the inevitability of Palestinian statehood.
Israeli settlers, who had seen him as their patron, considered him an enemy after he won reelection in 2003. In addition to withdrawing from Gaza and a small portion of the West Bank, he completed part of a 450-mile barrier along and through parts of the West Bank — a barrier he had originally opposed. It not only reduced infiltration by militants into Israel but also provided the outline of a border with a future Palestinian state….
Ariel and the Apartheid Wall. Too bad Mandela died first.
Thick-limbed and heavyset, with blue eyes and a shock of blond hair that whitened as he aged, Mr. Sharon was the archetypal Zionist farmer-soldier.
I'm tired of the Jewish narrative and legend.
He was not religiously observant, but he was deeply attached to Jewish history and culture and to the land where much of that history had occurred.
Even though he and his ilk are Eastern European Khazarian converts, usurpers, land-stealers, and mass murderers.
He believed unshakably that reliance on others had brought his people disaster, and that Jews must assert and defend their collective needs without embarrassment or fear of censure….
(Cue the deep violin music)
He was dismissed as washed up in 1983 when he was forced to resign as defense minister after an official committee charged him with “indirect responsibility” for a Lebanese massacre of hundreds of Palestinians the previous year.
And never a war crimes charge from the U.N.?
Mr. Sharon survived that humiliation and remained active to take command of his rudderless Likud party after a 1999 rout by Labor. He was viewed as a seat warmer for younger leaders, yet in 2001 was elected prime minister in the biggest landslide in Israel’s history.
He entered office four months into a violent Palestinian uprising. Israelis hoped he would restore security.
Given how he had crushed the Palestinian guerrilla infrastructure in Gaza in the early 1970s, there was logic to his election. But there was a paradox, too. It was Sharon’s visit, in September 2000, accompanied by Israeli police officers, to the holy site in Jerusalem known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, that helped set off the riots that became the second Palestinian uprising.
That got him elected, huh?
Born Ariel Scheinerman on a semicollective farm about 15 miles northeast of Tel Aviv, Mr. Sharon joined the Haganah, the underground Zionist fighting brigade.
Translation: He was a Zionist terrorist.
In 1947, he was deployed in the vast stretch north of Tel Aviv that is called the Sharon Plain. From there, he took his new family name in the emerging Zionist tradition of Hebraizing the names brought from the diaspora. This was part of the plan to create a “new Jew” rooted in the homeland.
And a sanctuary from criminal prosecution and extradition.
During the war for independence in 1948, Mr. Sharon earned a reputation as an effective battalion commander who came to believe Israel had been timid in the face of Arab border provocation. Many of his superiors were wary, but others, including David Ben-Gurion, the country’s founding prime minister, admired his boldness.
In the 1956 Sinai campaign, Mr. Sharon commanded a paratroop brigade and violated orders by driving his men deep into Sinai to the Mitla Pass, where they were ambushed by Egyptian forces and sustained dozens of deaths. He had been unaware of a deal among Britain, France, and Israel regarding the Mitla Pass. He was not shy with his complaints or sense of betrayal, and when the war ended his career suffered.
It was a period of personal loss as well. In May 1962, his wife, Gali, was killed in a traffic accident. Mr. Sharon eventually married Gali’s younger sister, Lily. They would raise three sons, Gur, Omri, and Gilad.
When the 1967 war broke out, Mr. Sharon played a crucial role on the Egyptian front. When the war ended in a stunning victory for Israel — which had tripled its land mass and defeated the combined armies of Jordan, Syria, and Egypt — Mr. Sharon felt a euphoria nearly unmatched in his life, he wrote in his autobiography.
Personal tragedy struck again soon. In October 1967, Gur, 11, was killed while he and a friend played with a rifle.
His wife, Lily, remained Mr. Sharon’s loyal companion until her death from cancer in 2000. His two sons survive him, as do a number of grandchildren.
How many Palestinian children and parents did this war criminal not leave behind?
This "obituary" is disgusting crap.
In 1973, Mr. Sharon felt drawn to politics. With help from American friends, he also bought a large farm in the Negev Desert — it remains the largest privately owned farm in the country. But that October, a shocking invasion by Egypt and Syria, a war that Israel nearly lost, delayed his plans to retire.
He pulled off his most extraordinary feat of combat when he waged a daring crossing of the Suez Canal behind Egyptian lines, a move often described as brilliant or foolhardy, and a turning point in the war.
Mr. Sharon had been hit in the head by a shifting tank turret, and photos of him with his head bandaged remain a symbol of that war. After that, Mr. Sharon helped engineer the birth of the Likud bloc, a union between the Liberal Party and the more right-wing Herut Party of Menachem Begin.
Mr. Sharon joined Begin’s Cabinet as agriculture minister in 1977 and set about constructing Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He made no secret of his ambition to be defense minister but had to wait until the 1981 reelection of Begin. He said his biggest concern was southern Lebanon, where Palestinian guerrillas had taken advantage of that country’s chaos and set up a ministate, using it to launch attacks.
In June 1982, after Palestinian guerrillas tried to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in London, Mr. Sharon began the invasion of Lebanon, saying that it would last 48 hours.
But the invasion took on a punishing nature, including the saturation bombing of Beirut neighborhoods and delaying agreed-upon cease-fires.
The Israelis decided to secure several Beirut neighborhoods, including Sabra and Shatila, refugee camps where the Palestine Liberation Organization had arms and thousands of fighters. But rather than move in themselves, the Israelis sent in an allied militia, the Phalangists, who killed hundreds of civilians….
Israel sure knows how to get others to commit war crimes for them, I'll admit that.
After his election as prime minister in 2001, he brought in Shimon Peres, a Labor party leader, as foreign minister, and the two septuagenarians, who as young men had sat at the elbows of Ben-Gurion when he ran the newly formed country, found themselves back together. Their partnership thrived, and Peres left the Labor party to join Mr. Sharon’s Kadima Party.

Raanan Gissin, a close aide, said the main reason Mr. Sharon had gone from a champion of the settlements to an advocate of territorial withdrawal was growing international pressure for a Palestinian state….

"Israelis reflect on Ariel Sharon and his legacy; Former leader recalled as bold, decisive" by Jodi Rudoren | New York Times, January 13, 2014
JERUSALEM — In life, former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was a polarizing figure, particularly after his turnabout from a builder of Jewish settlements to a man who forced their evacuation.
But regardless of their political views, many Israelis who came here Sunday to view his coffin admired Sharon as a bold decision-maker unafraid to take risks, something they are yearning for in the nation’s current leadership….
Ariel W. Bush.
The body of Sharon, who died Saturday afternoon at 85 after eight years in a state of minimal consciousness after a stroke that felled him at the height of his power, lay in state outside Israel’s Parliament building here Sunday in a gray chill.
The lack of sonshine should tell you something.
Soldiers in berets murmured Tehillim, the Psalms Jews recite over bodies until burial, beside his flag-covered coffin, which was encircled by nine wreaths of orange, yellow, red, and fuchsia flowers.
A military funeral is scheduled for Monday afternoon on a hill overlooking his sprawling sheep farm in the Negev desert, after a morning memorial service at Parliament. Former prime ministers and presidents of Israel are exempt from Jewish law requiring that funerals be carried out as soon as possible.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with Vice President Joe Biden, is to be among the eulogizers; the prime minister of the Czech Republic and leading politicians from Russia, Germany, Spain, and Canada are also expected to attend.
War criminals honoring one of their own and paying worship to the Jew World Order.

Stinks like you wouldn't believe as the jewsmedia just dropped it (more of a tell than if they were investigating).
On Sunday, thousands of Israelis filed past Sharon’s body, pausing to say a prayer or to snap a picture with their smartphones. Among them were old soldiers who had served under the former general known as the Bulldozer and a busload of high school students who had learned of him in history class. There were religious Jews and secular ones, right-wingers and left-wingers, natives and tourists.
How appropriate seeing as that was the Zionists main tool to displace Palestinians.
A Belgian businessman with a velvet skullcap who despised Sharon’s late-in-life moves regarding the Palestinians said he had come “to make sure he’s dead.”
Orit Struck, a member of Parliament from the right-wing Jewish Home faction, wrote on Facebook, “We must also thank God that Sharon was removed from our public lives” before he might have uprooted Jewish settlements in the West Bank as he had done in Gaza.

But somehow they are not assholes like the ones we have here.
Am I ever sick and tired of the Zionist rot passing as news. Just wanted to get that sentiment out there again.
And Baruch Marzel, a religious settler in Hebron, wrote on the Hebrew website Srugim that Sharon “will be remembered in eternal disgrace in the book of traitors against the Jewish people.” '
Fine, eat yourselves, you f***. Do the world a favor and vanish from the pages of time.
The Palestinian news media reported that people in Gaza burned pictures of Sharon and distributed sweets in the streets to celebrate the death of a man they called “the butcher.” Human rights groups denounced Sharon as a war criminal for his role, as defense minister, in the massacres in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982.
I'm celebrating! Can't tell you how happy I am this Zionist filth is now burning in hell.
But most Israelis mourned Sharon as a man whose imprint on their nation had been indelible, nearly the last of its founding generation.
“There hasn’t been a leader like him in Israel since the days of the Maccabees,” said Omri Cohen, 27, referring to the rebel Jewish army that seized control of the land more than 2,000 years ago….
As you can see, not much has changed in the Holy Land despite the false narrative of Jewish history in the region.

"Israel bids farewell to defiant defender; Biden among eulogists before Sharon’s burial" by Jodi Rudoren | New York Times, January 14, 2014
SDEROT, Israel — Ariel Sharon, the fighter and farmer from Israel’s founding generation who became a prime minister both revered and reviled, was buried here Monday on a hill overlooking his family ranch. In twin ceremonies, he was eulogized as a courageous commander and pragmatic politician who relentlessly defended the land he loved….
Said Vice President Joe Biden.
Nicknamed in life both “the Bulldozer” and “the Butcher,” Sharon was remembered Monday not only for his bravery and boldness but also for his humor and sensitivity….
All right, that's it. No more of the shit swill.
The Israeli military said that shortly after the funeral, two rockets fired from Gaza struck open areas on the Israeli side of the border; two rockets were also launched in the morning. The Israeli air force said it hit what it called “two terror sites” in Gaza in response. About 800 police officers had been deployed to secure the funeral location, along with the Iron Dome missile defense system….
Oh, I see the Zionist Zettlers are up to their old false flag tricks again.
This is really getting old, and is so damn obvious once the veil of Jewish media control is lifted and once one comprehends what a false flag is -- something missing from my history books of ejewkhazion.
