36. Sharon not just guilty for Sabra and Shatilla, as agriculture minister
in the mid-late 70's he ordered military tanks to squash into the ground living quarters (tents, etc) of nomadic Bedouin folks who lived in the desert. I lived on a Kibbutz in the fall of '78 that had had members who laid their bodies in front of Sharon's tanks to stop that inhumane assault when it was going on. He was always known for his temper and arrogance.
There's obviously been some shift in his position--for practical purposes-- due to his grasp on reality that endless violence would only hurt his beloved country -- but he never renounced any of his atrocities. It IS such a SAD state of affairs that with HIS potential passing the "peace process" will be severely hampered.
