Pillock.

Rami G. Khouri in the Daily Star shocks Belfast by comparing Ariel Sharon to George Best.

It is too early to judge - and in any case we should not judge Sharon on his style or goals

Sharon shows signs of brain activity

It's a miracle ! He didn't show signs of any before.

Pat Robertson, the American televangelist, today appeared to withdraw a diatribe against Ariel Sharon in an attempt to salvage his $50 million plan for a biblical theme park in Galilee.

Ministers in Jerusalem were furious after the millionaire preacher suggested that the Israeli Prime Minister suffered a stroke in divine retribution for carving up the Holy Land in withdrawing from Gaza.

The future of the project, nicknamed Jesusland and criticised by some for commercialism in an area of undeveloped rolling hills, is now hanging in the balance.

Mr Robertson released a statement saying that he was merely pointing out the Old Testament perspective on the division of Israel.

Avi Hartuv, a spokesman for Israel’s tourism minister, said: "We can’t accept this kind of statement. We will not do business with him."

I think it's actually some kind of rightist virus, possibly "GOPitis", where whatever your age, you're prone to spewing up crap!

Tu as un raison, monsieur.

The Washington Realist on Israel after Sharon.

 

[moono]

Sharon has bequeathed to his sucessor his own "roadmap" for peace:
--Israeli-defined borders for the West Bank
--consolidation of the Israeli hold on Jerusalem
--extension of Israeli sovereignty over the large settlement blocs on the West Bank

All illegal under international law and treaty.

Not long to go....

It looks like Sharon is about to breathe his last.

Thing is, I thought he was practically dead anyway.

Sharon emergency op 'a success'

This is a new use of "success" to me - he's no use to man nor beast, having been in an almost certainly irreversible coma since 4 January.

But still they hoik out a third of his large intestine, for why?

Are there that many voters who'll put a tick next to his party 'cos it has a vegetable at its head?

 

[moono]

for why?

Perhaps they are simply more inhumane and sadistic than he was.

There's a rumour that they're frightened to turn off his life support machine-

- in case Washington grinds to a halt.


PS. Happy birthday, Ariel. Yasser says hello.

There's a rumour that they're frightened to turn off his life support machine-

- in case Washington grinds to a halt.

I thought it was because they're worried that a bunch of ultras are waiting to capture his soul using cabalistic alchemical methods and install it in a big fat golem?

That way he'll have no moral constraints on him...


...oh, hold on...

Is he dead yet? *yawn*

Not until after the election, it seems.

Or is that just before - will people vote for his memory?
