Sharon Seen as War Criminal by Arab World
The Arab and Muslim world portrays Ariel Sharon as a war criminal for the 1982 Lebanon invasion, Gaza pacification in the 1970s, and the Sabra and Shatila massacres. Western reaction is muted, while supporters question Israelis’ choice and the peace process. Palestinians demand a viable independent state with Jerusalem as a capital and the right of return for refugees.
