Ariel Sharon

• August 16 -- Sharon’s
“Hysterical Opposition” to Hope in the Middle East?
James Bennet’s profile of Israeli PM Ariel Sharon reveals more of
Bennet’s pro-Palestinian tilt: “It was not so long ago that Sharon and his
memories of blood were the stuff of history and hysterical opposition to
everything that seemed hopeful….”
• May 28 -- Sharon
and Arafat, "Separated at Birth"
Columnist Nicholas Kristof lumps "right-wing jingoist" Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in with Yasir Arafat, snarling that both men share
"a bloodstained obduracy, suggesting that they might as well have been
twins separated at birth."
• March 29 -- Sharon
"Bent On More Violence"?
Neil MacFarquhar's story on an aborted Arab-nation summit in Tunisia passes
along this propaganda line: "Syria and Lebanon…[argued] that Arab public
opinion would not abide such an overture to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of
Israel at a time when he seemed bent on more violence."
