I really hate to come off as a total heartless bastard but I fear it seems like a done deal when I exhibit such schadenfreude at the plight of a sick man. Yet I can't help myself. Well, honesty compels me to say that it isn't that I can't help myself but I choose not to.
Ariel Sharon
Justice for Ariel Sharon
I wrote earlier about Ariel Sharon seemingly getting away with murder; killing thousands of Palestinians then dying a short and merciful death from stroke.
Fortunately he yet lives.
His capacities will be diminished and he won't regain his seat as Prime Minister. I can only hope that it leaves Israeli politician now fighting a three-way battle for Prime Ministership: Kadima, Labour and Likud. If we are extremely lucky there will be no strong enough Prime Minister and Israel is paralyzed politically as government after government fails.
I hope Ariel Sharon will have enough mental abilities to see all this happening while remembering that he could have pulled off a great political coup with Kadima and failed at the last minute. I hope he sees every failure of Israel and Israelis and it makes him bitter until the end.
Disappointment for a few months doesn't make up for the disappointment Palestinians have suffered for the last 57 years, but beggars can't be choosers. I hope his conscience weighs heavily. I hope our dead come to haunt him.
Getting Away With Murder
It appears that Ariel Sharon has suffered a massive stroke and cerebral hemorrhaging. I suspect that he'll be dead soon and good riddance.
I am saddened though. That the terrorist responsible for killing thousands of Palestinians in Sabra and Shatila as well as killing thousands of Palestinians as a result of his rule between since 2000, not to speak of the thousands of Lebanese deaths he is responsible for gets away with a stroke and general anesthesia. It is not fair that he gets spared the pain and suffering that my people, Palestinians, have suffered, and suffered at his hands. This monster is getting off easy.
My only consolation is that he doesn't get to beat Bibi Netanyahu in the polls for Prime Minister. His death will leave a fractured and weak Israel which makes me happy.
If I could get one wish in the world is that the fat, sorry carcass of Ariel Sharon gets buried face down at a cross-road, his body sprinkled with garlic and salt, and a stake driven through his back. Let no one remember him, and let those who stumble upon his grave wonder what kind of monster this was to deserve such an ignoble fate.
