Sharon's Legacy

[muman613]

I am listening to Chaims latest Ask JTF and agree that he was very wrong to sell out the Jewish people. I take a more lenient opinion judging him at this time, he has suffered in this world in a coma for many years. We must acknowledge the good he did (whether it was for his own good, or not) because all the good a person does must be accounted for in judging them properly.

But he did a great deal of very bad by starting the expulsion of Jews from our land.

Here are some videos remembering this legacy...

Op-Ed: On Ariel Sharon - The "Bulldozer"
Published: Saturday, January 11, 2014 7:54 PM
Ariel Sharon was once the right's hero and anathema to the left and the Arab world.

“Ah, Ariel, Ariel!...” (Isaiah 29:1-2)

Ah, Ariel, Ariel! A stroke smote you on 4th of Tevet 5766 (4th January 2006), just weeks before your 78th birthday, barely a year after you first announced the “Disengagement Plan” at the Herzliya Conference.

You were a great man, hated by some, loved by others – but respected even by your foes. Feared by all, especially your foes. You were the man before whose name the enemies of Israel quailed, the man known as “the bulldozer,” because you would crush anyone who dared stand in your way.

And for decades, you always used that awesome power for Israel – and then you decreed the expulsion of 9,000 Jews from their homes.
 
Ah, Ariel, Ariel! You are a truly tragic figure, in the best traditions of classic Greek tragedy: a hero, larger than life, who made a tragic mistake at the end of a long period of leadership. If not for the unilateral disengagement– you would have been wept for and eulogised by every Zionist.

They would have remembered you only for your bravery as a war hero, a fearless warrior, a great leader – the man who fought for Israeli independence back in the 1940s, the man who won battle after battle in the War of Independence in 1948-49, the man who planned and commanded and won the Suez War (the Kadesh Campaign) of 1956, the hero who saved Israel from annihilation in the Yom Kippur War of 1973, the master strategist and tactician who defeated El Fatah terrorism in Lebanon in 1982.

Only a few would have remembered that you took part in the “Season” – the name given the activities of 1944, when the Haganah sent its soldiers out to hunt down members of the Etzel (the Irgun) and the Lehi (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel or Stern Group) and hand them over to the British occupation authorities. This was the period when Jews were being exterminated in Europe, when Britain’s Royal Navy was patrolling the shores of Palestine to ensure that no Jewish refugees would reach safety here, when Arab gangs were murdering Jews throughout the Land of Israel, when the British Army was forcibly preventing Jews from defending themselves, when the Etzel and the Lehi were battling Arab murderers and desperately smuggling Jews out of Europe.

Nationalist Israelis were convinced that you, of all people, would be able to defeat Arab terrorism! You were the great hope of the Israeli right.

 A time there was when Israelis sighed and said: If only Menachem Begin were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Begin will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But when Begin won the election to become Prime Minister he didn’t dare to annex Judea, Samaria, Gaza, or the Sinai Desert, neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.

Begin set the precedent for destroying Jewish towns and villages when he gave the entire Sinai Desert to Egypt in exchange for a scrap of paper, and Begin who set the precedent for Israel recognizing a Palestinian Arab nation which the Arab League (primarily Egypt) had invented just a decade earlier.

You,  Ariel Sharon, commanded the destruction of the Jewish communities in the Sinai Desert.
 
But we made your excuses for you then. After all it wasn’t you that decided on the policy – you executed the decision that Menachem Begin had made, and you did your duty with a heavy heart.
 
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Yitzchak Shamir were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Shamir will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But alas, Shamir didn’t dare to annexe Judea, Samaria, or Gaza (Begin had long since abandoned the Sinai Desert), neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount. When Saddam Hussein launched 39 Scud missiles at Israel during the Gulf War, Shamir set the precedent for absorbing a military attack from a hostile state without defending Israel.
 
And then Shamir initiated the Madrid Conference, which in turn led directly to the Oslo death process, the Oslo murder accords.
 
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Binyamin Netanyahu were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Netanyahu will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But Netanyahu didn’t dare to annex Judea, Samaria, or Gaza, neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists politically as he had done militarily in his younger days, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.

 And it was Netanyahu who gave away Hevron, our second holiest city, to Arab terrorists. Netanyahu shook Arafat’s hand (and smiled while he did it!) and hugged that mass-murderer just as enthusiastically as Yitzchak Rabin and Ehud Olmert had done.
 
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Ariel Sharon were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Sharon will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! Sharon, who built the settlements! Sharon, whose very life’s work was settling the Land of Israel! Sharon, who had inspired generations of Jews to defy the world, defy their own government, and restore Jewish sovereignty throughout the Land! Sharon, who would eliminate every last terrorist from Gaza, if only given free hand!
 
You were, after all, the only Prime Minister since Rabin whose hand was not defiled by shaking Arafat’s bloodstained hand.
 
But you didn’t dare to annex Judea, Samaria, or Gaza, neither did you dare combat Arab terrorists politically as you had done militarily in your younger days, neither did you dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
 
Just two days before Rosh HaShanah 5760 (28th Sept 2000), you went up to the Temple Mount. You defied world opinion and the Israeli Government, forcing the Israeli Police to send over 1,000 police officers to enter our holy site. How we Zionists cheered you on! You showed the world that you, of all people, would return Jews to their holiest area in the world!
 
And less than half a year later you received your prize when the government fell, Prime Minister Ehud Barak fell from office, and you – at long last! – became Prime Minister of Israel. And how we nationalist Israelis rejoiced! Now it was you, Ariel Sharon, “the bulldozer”, who would decide Israeli policy. Begin, Shamir, Netanyahu – they all buckled. But you – never! You would stand firm, you would never waver or compromise.
 
And then, almost 11 years ago, on the 25th of Sh’vat 5763 (28th January 03), the Israeli electorate rewarded you by sweeping you into power. You led the Likud to victory with 38 seats in the Knesset – twice as many as its closest rival, Labour-Meimad.
 
How the Left quailed! And how all Israel’s other enemies despaired! And how the right-wing, particularly the National-Religious camp, rejoiced!
 
But ah, Ariel, Ariel!! Faced with the threat of legal proceedings against you, suspected of fraud and bribery on a massive scale, you – who dared to take on armies vastly bigger than yourself – collapsed. Less than a year after that election, just two days before Hannukah 5764 (18th December 2003), you announced that you would give the Left what they wanted: you would throw every last Jew out of Gaza and northern Samaria.

By capitulating to our Left and the Hamas, by bringing Hamas missiles within easy striking range of every Israeli city, you destroyed the last great idol of the Israeli Right. You, and only you, were capable of smashing the final delusion that a great secular nationalist would defend Israel.

Ah, Ariel, Ariel! You were a great soldier, a great politician, and a brave man. But for us,all your previous magnificent achievements were eclipsed by your last great betrayal.

This written by Chamish already in 2001! Interesting is that Sharon always used to meet NWO-kingpin Kissinger on his regular visits to the US, and his meets with Peres every Shabbos afternoon!





No Reason To Celebrate Sharon's Victory
By Barry Chamish


My message, to those who respect it, is clear. The Israeli political leadership has been corrupted from abroad and no one running for Prime Minister is exempt. And that includes Ariel Sharon above all. I can understand the widespread celebration of his unprecedented rout of Ehud Barak. Finally, those elements determined to drag Israel into a suicidal pact with the PLO have been given a resounding message that the people have had it with them. As a temporary relief valve this election served a most therapeutic function. Unfortunately too many people think Sharon's victory means the war has been won and they are about to be very disappointed because Sharon will betray them just as much as Barak did. Only the style will change.
 
Here's how we got the elections in the first place. On a Wednesday six weeks ago, Binyamin Netanyahu was in the middle of a lucrative American speaking tour. There, he met two members of the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR), George Shultz and Henry Kissinger. In Netanyahu's own words, they told him the time was right to run for prime minister; a very noble message except elections weren't planned for another two years.
 
Netanyahu then hopped on a plane to Israel, he claimed to attend a Bat Mitzvah, had a few words with Barak and flew back to America to continue his lectures. Two days later Barak, who Kissinger and gang put in power beginning with a New York meeting in May 1995, resigned and called for elections in which he would remain a candidate.
 
Now why would he do such an insane thing unless told to? He was losing badly in the polls and began the race in a hopeless position. Then he continued with a campaign guaranteed to get him trounced at the polls. The CFR determined that it was Sharon's turn to drag Israel into war. Barak had prepared the path and now Sharon would lead the war. And the world and its Jews, getting dumber by the day, believe that all these events will be explained by random actions.
 
A few years back I received a phone call from New York from Joel Bainerman, who was attending an Israeli economic conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan. Excited, he said, "I was walking through a hall and guess who I saw come out of a conference room? Sharon and Kissinger." Joel told the same story to journalists covering the conference and at the next morning's press conference Sharon confirmed the meeting adding that, "In order to achieve peace, concessions will have to be made." He was asked if he meant territorial concessions and he refused to answer. Kissinger's talk had moulded the man.
 
Meanwhile, I called Sharon's spokesman Raanan Gissen and asked him what was discussed at the meeting. He replied, "They met to discuss overall Middle East security issues." I asked why Sharon, the Infrastructure Minister should be discussing security matters at a trade conference. He answered, "You're right, of course. They were discussing economic matters." I persisted, "Why was Sharon meeting Kissinger in the first place?" The reply was boggling; "Minister Sharon has met Mr. Kissinger every time he has flown to America since the end of the Yom Kippur War."
 
This was way too much to digest so quickly. I blurted out, "What do you know about Kissinger's leadership in the Council On Foreign Relations?" Gissen paused and answered, "Mr. Sharon has left instructions that this topic will only be discussed when he writes his diplomatic memoirs."
 
Ariel Sharon was born and raised on a radical-Left Mapai moshav, Kfar Malal. In early 1973 he quit the IDF and formed a political party, Shlomzion, whose followers were anticipated to be from the Left. Sharon even invited the extremist Yossi Sarid to join him in the party leadership. In October of the same year, war broke out and Sharon emerged the national hero. Now his political career would rise and the CFR decided that he had to be on their side.
 
He met with Kissinger and his proteges in early 1974 and received their power and blessings for a rise to the top, but with conditions. The first was that he become a mole in the Israeli Right and that he destroy the Herut movement. He returned to Israel, built up his party and proposed a united Right wing party to run in the 1977 elections. He amalgamated the Liberal (Gahal) Party with his own and Herut to create the Likud.
 
The election of the honorable and independent Likud leader Menachem Begin sent the CFR into a tizzy and Sharon was called on to neutralize and ultimately remove him. Before that could be done, Begin was outflanked by Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat and with all the power of the CFR behind the Egyptian position, Begin relented and withdrew from the entire Sinai Peninsula. The withdrawal could only proceed because Sharon was leading it. When one stubborn town, Yamit refused to be obliterated, Sharon sent in the bulldozers to do the job, one reason he is known as "the bulldozer," and a better reason to fear his real policy on uprooting Jewish homes.
 
On June 6, 1982, my army unit entered the Lebanon War. Following a trail of battles, we finally arrived at our position on Jebel Barauch, high in the Chouf Mountains, 80 km. from the safety of the Israeli border. We gathered around the tv set for the evening news and we heard Defence Minister Sharon's lie to Begin that the troops would stop advancing once they had reached the 40 km. line in Lebanon. We were stunned. The nation and its Prime Minister were being given a totally false picture of the war by Sharon. We all asked why and no answer was satisfactory.
 
A decade later Joel Bainerman and I spent an afternoon interviewing Menachem's son, Benny Begin. He was very coy with the facts we sought but, nonetheless, provided vital testimony. His father's war had been fought mostly to reverse a deal reached by Kissinger, Rabin and Syrian President Assad in 1975. Assad wanted Israel off the Golan Heights, Rabin couldn't deliver so Kissinger came up with a neat idea. Syria wanted Lebanon just as much, so let's give her it. We'll ignite a civil war and Israel will allow Syrian troops in to bring peace.
 
Benny Begin recalled. "Rabin laughed when he told this story and I said, 'Why are you so happy, 300,000 people died in that war?' He smiled and answered. 'Don't worry, it was a good deal.'" Menachem Begin's goal was to reverse the Middle East of murder organized by the CFR and Sharon's task was to stop him.
 
Benny Begin stressed one point without adding the precise details we sought; Sharon deliberately ousted his father from office.
 
We now recall the 1983 massacre at the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps. On a Friday morning, Sharon gave permission for Phalangist forces to eliminate remaining PLO snipers in the camps. The Phalangists had been victimized by savage PLO massacres and Sharon must have known how they would react if given a free hand to operate in the camps. Word of the massacre reached him by the night but he did not order the Phalangists removed for two more days. Sharon suffered a temporary career setback for his negligence but this was the beginning of the end of Menachem Begin.
 
Sharon has been a magnificent performer, building on his deserved reputation as a daring commander, since 1974 he has been the darling of the Right. And since his rise, the Right has been slowly disintegrating. When Netanyahu was ordered by his CFR masters to sign the upcoming Wye Agreement, which gave the PLO more territory than Rabin or Peres ever handed over, both they and he understood that a huge ploy was needed to prevent massive protest against the outrage. So Netanyahu appointed Sharon his Foreign Minister, and barely a week later, Sharon gave his seal of approval to Wye. How could anyone protest when the militant, darling of the Right authorized all its clauses?
 
Early on during the recent election campaign, numerous Israeli journalists wrote that Shimon Peres and Sharon were plotting against Barak. The goal this time, was to have Sharon's buddy Peres replace Barak as the Labor candidate.
 
However, Barak caught on and fought back with the strongest weapon in his arsenal; Peres's organization of the Rabin assassination. The far left Meretz Party was about to back a motion led by Yossi Sarid, to make Peres their candidate for the elections. Their central council was all ready to approve Peres when according to Yediot Ahronot, "Rabin sent a messenger to remind the council members about Yitzhak Rabin." Meretz then changed its mind about Peres. The media speculated that Barak reminded the Meretz members that Peres snitched on Rabin about an illegal bank account in 1977 that drove him from office or that Rabin called Peres, "a relentless conniver," as if those facts weren't known and that they could turn the party against Peres.
 
Despite the Meretz rejection, Peres called out all his forces, especially in the media, to mount a campaign to replace Barak with him. Then Barak appeared on a morning radio show on Reshet Bet and said that if Peres didn't stop his campaign, he was going to talk to the Rabin family about the assassination. Peres's campaign to replace Barak came to a grinding halt.
 
Every available Saturday afternoon, for over twenty years, Sharon and Peres meet at Peres's home for what they call "social visits." At Peres's 70th birthday party, Sharon was placed in the seat of honor beside him. They are the closest of friends and their "vicious" rivalry over the years has been brilliantly stage managed.
 
Do not be surprised if the happy couple come out of the closet and into the Knesset. If Sharon has his way, Peres will be his Foreign Minister. Yes, he knows about Rabin, all the insiders do. So Sharon will fight any legal action which could bring justice to the memory of Rabin by trying his real murderers. He'll protect his buddy Shimon with all the considerable powers he has just received.
 
And Israel will go to war under Sharon, not because of him, he is just the right "hard-line, militant" pawn to justify bloody violence against the Jewish nation, but because the real powers who rule this planet have planned it that way all along.

Yerusha,

I do not consider anything written by Chamish to be truthful. I did not read what you posted...
