Sharon Peace

The election of Ariel Sharon as Prime
Minister of Israel by that nation's Jewish citizens
does not come as a surprise to the Palestinian community.
Israel has revealed its true intentions for peace today
as it voted into office a murderous war criminal. Being
faced with the reality that it must restore Palestinian
rights, Israel has opted to hide behind a warmonger,
whose life-long career has been stained, over and over
again, with Palestinian blood.

SHARON'S BLOODY
PAST:

1945
Prior to the establishment of the Zionist state, Sharon
was an active member in the Jewish terrorist group,
the Haganah, which carried out bloody campaigns of terror
in the name of Judaism.

1953
Sharon lead a military operation into the Palestinian
village of Kibya, laying siege to the city, killing
67 innocent civilians, and destroying dozens of homes,
as well as the local mosque.

1982
As Israeli Defense Minister, Sharon ordered the invasion
of Lebanon. Thousands of civilians were massacred. The
most horrific massacre having taken place on September
16th of that year when Israeli forces and their allies
invaded the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla.
Over 2,500 innocent refugees were slaughtered in the
subsequent genocidal rampage. An Israeli commission
would later find Sharon responsible for the atrocity.

2000
In an intentionally provocative move, Sharon,
accompanied by 1,000 security officers, penetrated the
sacred Muslim shrine, known as the Noble Sanctuary,
or Haram al Sharif. This move, as Sharon hoped, sparked
the now four-month-old Intifada which has claimed the
lives of over 400 Palestinians, including 13 who were
citizens of Israel. In addition, over 10,000 Palestinians
were wounded, many of whom have become permanently

disabled.

It is ironic that Sharon has been
elected Prime Minister after the Kahan commission recommended
that he could never be even Defense Minister again.

The Palestinian-American community
is very concerned about the near future in the Middle
East now that the "Butcher of Beirut" is in
power. Our position does not mean that we preferred
Ehud Barak over Sharon.

Barak's hands are just as bloody as
Sharon's. In fact almost every Israeli Prime Minister
has been a military leader responsible for the death
of innocent Palestinians. All Americans should be concerned
due to the fact that the US has aligned itself with
Israel, giving the state over $4 billion per year
in military and economic aid. We call on our government
to finally halt US aid to Israel, and state that it
is clearly not interested in true peace. If Israeli's
intentions weren't clear before, they are surely clear
now. Israel's idea of peace is war.
