De Volkskrant was on January 11, quick to place on the same day Ariel Sharon was deceased a message. That's actually less rapidly than it seems, because such pieces are finished in a newspaper, especially for someone who is in a coma for 8 years. For that reason considered picture of Sharon that comes from the piece forward is that of a 'quirky pain in the ass. " That's at least a mild judgment on someone who has multiple war crimes on his conscience. kb

Thus blew the command unit 101 which Sharon led in 1953 to several Palestinian homes in an act of revenge, in which 69 Palestinian civilians were killed. And so it was in 1982, responsible for the operation that led to the murder of hundreds of Palestinians in Lebanese refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila by Phalangists, who were under his command.

"The unpopularity of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak's political failure kb of the Labour Party in 2001, Sharon brought the premiership. Within a few years he put out the fire of the intifada and sang his growing following back 'Arik, Arik, King of Israel. "
At the end of the article, the Volkskrant close to a justification of Sharon's massacres: these would be handled by Arabs certainly appreciated. Approvingly cited an Israeli politician who claims
"That was born in the region and raised Sharon probably knew more of the" Arab mentality "than any other Israeli politicians together. "Teach me to know the Arabs," he said himself always and that was not just a colonialist cliché about 'natives'. No other Israeli politician enjoyed among Palestinians as much respect as Sharon, even if that respect for a good part was fueled by hate. " kb
It does not only convert as quirky troublemakers. "Down people who have repeatedly participated in civilian massacres Thus, Sharon is the conviction that he never even received his obituary wrong during his lifetime.
