Much as I dislike and mistrust Arab News Service, they may be right about Sharon. The US News Media Has given Sharon a virtually free ride. They have not told or shown clips of Sharon's blowing up arab housing some years ago (pre suicide bombings) with 69 Palestinian civilians inside. They have not shown Sharon's troops escorting vengeful militia members to the Shatila and Sabrha Camps in Lebanon, then standing on the walls firing in, or Sharon's troops blocking Lebanese Government Police and military while the killing of 700 Palestinians went on.
Nor have our media reminded anybody that in order to facilitate weapons shipments from the US, Sharon gave his word that Israel would refrain from further settlements in Palestinian territory, yet he has simply ignored his pledge and has established 32 settlements since coming to office.
Interesting - well, if our news media hasn't shown these things, how did you find out about them?
