Girlie-Name Sharon Forgets History

How quickly we forget important goings on and one of the worst examples of someone who's stuck their head up their own orifice is Israeli Prime Monster Ariel Sharon.

Now despite having two girlie names - and one of those is that of a cartoon mermaid - this hardman of the Middle East has got stuck into his near-neighbours with a military invasion of Palestinian lands.

His motive was to stop the wave of suicide bombings that has killed hundreds of Israelis in recent months and no-one can complain about Israel's right to defend itself.

But ...

History Lesson 1: In order to get the British out of Palestine in the 1940s the Jews used terrorist campaigns and bombings - much like those they bitch about coming from the Palestinians.

Now, old mermaid-name has pushed things a bit far and has gone feral when outside observers have got stuck into Israel for heavy-handed tactics and the we-can't-prove-it-because-you've-locked-us-out stench of massacre in the air.

He also refuses to stop building Jewish settlements in Palestinian lands occupied by Israel - a move that makes you wonder if he just wants a war to clean out all non-Israelis?

But now, Sharon is throwing high-octane on to the already-roaring fire by moving to annex up to half of the Palestinian lands on the West Bank.

It will all be in the name of Israeli security - but the battles that idiot will spark will not only lead to many deaths, but the complete destruction of international sympathy Israel has enjoyed since the end of World War 2.

The world community has closed its eyes to some of Israel's past indescretions but the time is coming when enough is enough.

How dare the leader of a nation - born out of the mind-blowing genocide of the Nazi holocaust - treat its neighbours in such a way.

How dare he start annexing lands belonging to another displaced nation - the Palestinians - and pushing the region into what will be a very bloody war.

History Lesson 2: Adolf Hitler's Nazis set off on their murderous path with a few invasions of neighbours so they could get Lebensraum (living space) in the east.

How much different is Sharon's move to grab the West Bank?

He has ignored the terrible tragedy that overtook his people between 1933 and 1945 and is ready to dish out brutality to another easy kicking-boy.

History Lesson 3: All bully boys eventually get flattened.
