Sharon grandson of an early migrant 6"ssian Jewish family to !alestine was born in #7%8 in -far .alal ten miles from 3el A(i(. 3his was one of the first Jewish settlements in !alestine "nder the ,ritish Zionist conspiracy to dri(e o"t the !alestinians and create in their lands an e9cl"si(e racist of state Israel for Jews. 'is family name Scheinerman was changed to Sharon. 'is father a farmer ga(e him not a book to learn b"t a knife when he was only #: to kill !alestinians to grab their lands. 3h"s since early in life hatred towards !alestinians was ingrained into his blood stream.

Since then Sharons history was nothing b"t genocides massacres and destr"ction of !alestinian (illages and cities.

Sharon formed an elite gro"p called <)nit #$#= nicknamed <the a(engers= in the #7>$s and killed !alestinians in (illages and ref"gee camps with instit"tional s"pport .In A"g"st #7>: he massacred %$ "narmed !alestinian ci(ilians in ?l@,"reig ref"gee camp so"th of +a;a. 3wo months later he was selected by the Jewish state to kill the !alestinians in the (illage of Aibya. Sharons order to his gangs was <ma9imal killing and damage to property < 3here Sharon and his Jewish th"gs massacred B$ !alestinian men women children and the aged on the night of /ctober #& #7>:.3wo third of the (ictims were women and children. All of them were ci(ilians. 3hey mo(ed from ho"se to ho"se broke open them and <systematically and senselessly sla"ghtered= the residents before blowing "p their homes and <clearing them= with fire and grenades. A )nited *ations report said <b"llet@riddled bodies near the doorways and m"ltiple b"llet hits on the doors of the demolished ho"ses indicated that the inhabitants had been forced to remain inside "ntil their homes were blown "p o(er them. 1ommander ?.'. '"tchison a ).S. na(al officer ser(ing on the ).*. armistice monitoring commission who in(estigated the sla"ghter wrote <'ere and there from between the rocks yo" co"ld see a tiny hand or foot protr"ding.= Sharon later said in an Israeli tele(ision doc"mentary that <the raid was necessary and that he wo"ld do it again. In fact he did it on a larger scale.

?(ery fall in Aibya d"ring the oli(e har(esting season the memory of this genocide is kept ali(e in a mo"rning ceremony. A memorial plaC"e behind the (illage mosC"e honors Sharons (ictims. /nce Sharon killed two women from the Arab (illage of -atama to pro(oke a Jordanian military response. 'is plan workedD #> !alestinians made ref"gees by Jewish terror gangs were killed. 3here were instances when he was seen la"ghing as a 2"nior Jewish terrorist tormented an old Arab and then shot him at close range trapped and killed a peacef"l ,edo"in boy shepherding his flock and cens"red a 2"nior officer for failing to kill two elderly Arabs enco"ntered d"ring a raid. 3his is not something done by a normal h"man being. 3he c"lmination of Sharons crime against !alestinians was when he in(aded Lebanon in September #78% and killed more than %7 >$$ peopleEmost of them ci(ilians@ and laid ,eir"t and m"ch of the so"th of the co"ntry to waste. ?laborating this genocide !alestinian website <3he ?lectronic Intifada= stated thatD As minister of defense Sharon orchestrated Israels in(asion of Lebanon to destroy the !alestine Liberation

'owe(er all these cherished (al"es are not applicable to Zionist Jews as political establishments in all these co"ntries are s"bser(ient and the politicians there ha(e been the prod"cts of Jewish lobbies.

Instead these (ery same leaders recei(ed Sharon with warmth .In other words it was b"siness as "s"al for )S )- France and other Western co"ntries with Israel. 3he pinnacle of this collaboration was when Sharon was in(ited to address the )nited *ations 5$th +eneral Assembly where he also recei(ed the appla"se @ blackmailed by the )S. 3his smacks of the most stinging hypocrisy and shameless disregard for international law. 3he occ"pations daily (iolations of international law and the complete ref"sal to accept the decision of the International 1o"rt of J"stice to tear down the apartheid wall were downgraded to minor details. A 1airo based col"mnist pointed o"t that the )*s mo(e to host Sharon is as m"rdero"s as the state and the career he represented. ,y accepting to s"pport Israeli ploys go(ernments and the media carry the same responsibility for the destr"ction of !alestinian li(es and land as the occ"pation army that protected the !halangist militia and pointed the flashlights for the b"tchers of Sabra and Shatila. As prime minister he contin"ed his killing spree "nabated with the complete backing of +eorge ,"sh.

In fact more than si9 months before Sharon s"ffered his heart attack mediae(al rit"als were cond"cted on him by Jewish e9tremists. For e9ample in J"ly %$$> Ariel Sharon was targeted

by Jewish e9tremists with an ancient kabbalistic death c"rse known in the Aramaic lang"age as a <p"lsa den"ra= or <lash of fire= showing the combination of politics and religio"s e9tremism at the heart of the c"rrent .iddle ?ast crisis. 3he p"lsa den"ra like most c"rses is "nderstood to be dangero"s to the person who casts it as well as the person at whom it is aimed. 3he ceremony took place at midnight on the e(e of the Sabbath performed by a -abbalist who led %$ men in prayer. /ne participant described itD <It was done in a bea"tif"l cemetery with a thick forest aro"nd it "nder a F"ll .oon.
