Israeli historian Tom Segev said that Mr Sharon would be remembered as a founding father of the

nation but that many of his actions, as a soldier and statesman, remained highly controversial.

"Sharon was a political soldier and a military politician and I think it's this combination of militarism

and nationalism which forms his legacy, a legacy which many people here - me included -

find more harmful than useful,"

His involvement in the 1982 massacres of Palestinians in Beirut refugee camps

and his controversial visit in 2000 to Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque Compound :

known to Jews as Temple Mount.

The walkabout on the contested site infuriated Palestinians, who launched the second intifada  !

"He went further than most in his crimes against Palestinian civilians, and further than others

in his deception; he showed Israeli leaders that they could retain the tactics of war while

calling them efforts for peace, and this is his most corrosive legacy,"

"Every Palestinian, all refugees and families of martyrs and prisoners should celebrate

the death of this criminal as many were killed by his hands "

"We will never forget those who occupied our land and committed the most heinous massacres

against our people."

In the Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza, news of Mr Sharon's death :

triggered a party where pictures of him were burned....

that was a terrible fella ever. pheeeeeeeeeew :o :o :o

May he burn in Hell Fire !    >

i like the guerilla.  she can fight my wars anytime ::LOL:: ::LOL::

Every thing stated above is true but remember Monachem Begin was also equally a war criminal.
However those two men realised that you make peace with your enemies not your friends and they were on the verge of making a lasting peace with the Palestinians ,
The powers that be wanted to maintain hegemony  and continued occupation  over the Palestinians and  thus  Sharon and Begin were eliminated
