We mark with some regret the passing of Ariel Sharon in Israel who has been surviving in a vegetative state since 2005. The regrets are not because the world has lost a person of any value but because he died in a long-term care facility rather than the prison cell which he deserved.

Sharon was born in Palestine in 1928 to Belarusian Zionist Jews who fled the Russian Revolution. His parents were a contentious couple who, it appears, reared him in the psychopathic spirit. He came to young manhood embodying the highest ideals of Zionism, in particular its antisocial character. By the age of 14 he was already involved in Zionist paramilitary groups that used terror and massacres to drive Palestinians off their lands.

He is of that generation that founded the illegal state of Israel and because of his renowned aggression and ruthlessness, is considered one of its preeminent military leaders, practiced in the arts of massacre, revenge slaughters, paramilitary raids. He is, in short, a war criminal whose battlefield barbarism put even the likes of Moshe Dayan on edge.

There is hardly a single Zionist policy he is not associated with, beginning with terrorism to dispossess Palestinians and including promoting the barrier wall, Zionist settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, personal responsibility (as Israel's defense minister) for the massacre of thousands of Palestinian civilians in the refugee settlements of Sabra and Shatila (in Lebanon in 1982). Although he doesn't appear to have been personally religious, he also played a notorious role in inventing Jewish religious mythology particularly around the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

Although he is credited with removing Zionist settlers from Gaza in 2005, his policies retained Israeli control of Gaza's coastline and airspace and led to the embargo of Gaza which has made it the largest open-air prison in the world. Zionist disengagement from Gaza was not a humanitarian policy, but to facilitate apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians within Gaza.

We would wish no harm on anyone (with the possible exception of Henry Kissinger), but it seems Sharon brought out the worst in everyone who knew him, even among his Zionist allies, and including his own sons who are notorious for sharing his insatiable financial corruption. (The whole family just loved to steal.)

After Sharon removed the Zionist settlers from Gaza, a group of the most right-wing, crazy-assed rabbis in Israel hexed him with an ancient curse known as the 'Pulsa diNura' and called on the 'Angel of Death' to take him out. Soon after, he suffered a stroke and entered his vegetative state. The medical examiner might consider checking for polonium in an autopsy.

Zionist media reported in 2005 that Sharon is considered the "8th-greatest Israeli of all time." That "all time" is only 65 years and includes some of the most dangerous sociopaths in human history. So when all is said and done, our man gets the indignity and opprobrium he deserves. Good riddance to his worthless ass! And may he RIP in that special circle of hell specially reserved for war criminals and God's misbegotten.
