Jewish radicals gunning for Sharon, al-Aqsa?
Almost 30 years ago, I visited Ariel Sharon at his ranch, an isolated spread not far from the Gaza Strip. There were Arab workers all over the place. "Aren't you worried about your safety?" I asked. Sharon gave me a look I've never forgotten. Worried? He was a warrior in his prime, the toughest Israeli of his generation. Who could hurt him? Sharon is an old man now, surrounded by a thick cordon of security. Hamas terrorists in Gaza routinely threaten him, but he's still not afraid of Arabs. It's his own countrymen who want to kill him. The irony is obvious to Sharon himself. "I've been defending the Jews all my life," he said in July. "Now, I have to be protected from the Jews."Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-09-20 |
