Ariel Sharon
Ariel Sharon was
called for action. He was asked to form a small special commando unit
that will present the Arab enemy (innocent civilians usually), with a the full
scale of Israeli conviction and determination to win in any condition.
In 1953, following a murderous attack of a mother and her two children by
Palestinian inflitrators that passed the Israeli Border near to the
Jordanian village of Quibya. Sharon's and his commando unit now named
"the 101", were called for action. Sharon was ordered to penetrate to the
village of Quibya, to blow as many houses and to inflict as many
casualties on its habitant. Sharon was the very right man for the Job. The raid was a
complete success. Very much like Jennie refugee camp that was completely
destroyed over its inhabitant, Quibya was reduced to pile of rubble, more
than fifty houses were destroyed. 61 civilians, most of them women and
children had been killed. UN observer that visited the site came to a
clear conclusion that the villagers were forced to stay in their houses while
those were blown over them....., In a radio
broadcast the day after, he denied IDF involvement in the raid, he lied
and blamed the action on Israeli villagers that retaliate beyond endurance. As
we know Sharon's military career was not affected at all, as a matter of
fact, very much the opposite. Sharon and "the 101" turned to be the symbol
of the new Hebraic military man, a murderous soldier that attack beyond
the enemy line, a soldier that represent the ultimate devotion to orders even
if it means divorcing himself from any familiar concept of mercy and
humanity...
