Sharons own house is shelled from area he forced Israel to withdraw from
What ever happened to Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon? The answer to that question is nothing has happened to him, he is still in a deep Coma. But something has happened to his home in the southern Negev, It has been hit with a Kassam Rocket launched from The Gaza strip. The irony of Sharons farm being hit is extreme as the deep coma he is in. Sharons political career will forever be defined by the forcible expulsion of 8,000 Jewish residents of the Gaza strip. He had done many other things before the Gaza pull out but those have become insignificant compared to the Gaza disengagement debacle. He stated over and over again how important this would be and how this would improve Israel’s security situation and jump start the peace process. Despite grim predictions from the then head of the Israeli Army ( who was dismissed because of his opposition to the move ) and others Sharon was determined seemingly obsessed with the move. He was sure his instincts were pointing him in the right direction, this would turn out to be yet another brilliant move. He had dared on the battlefield and won, he was going to dare in the peace making process. As it turned out Gaza is controlled by the extreme Hamas Organization which won the popular vote because of the Israeli pullout .It now has complete defacto control of the strip after launching a military coup against the rival Fatah faction a few months ago. There are very few people in Israel that think the move in retrospect was a good one, many are very curios how Sharon would have reacted to all the justified criticism. Thousands of missile attacks that have come from Gaza into Israel because of Sharons pullout plan. Now one of them has hit his own house. What would he had said to that? We will never know. |
