#Ariel_Sharon: International War Criminal Remembered

The eulogies for Ariel Sharon in the Western press are comparable to their eulogies of Nelson Mandela.

Israeli terrorism and brutality is portrayed as “strength” and “might,” and CNN invited the Israeli ambassador in the US to write an ostensibly objective eulogy for the man. Ethan Bronner, the former bureau chief of the New York Times in Israel and a former foreign editor of the paper, wrote a long eulogy that can easily be classified within the genre of “love poetry.”
