Israel: Man of Conflict (Ariel Sharon)
14 minutes, 2000
Ref: 82

It seems certain that Ariel Sharon, the scourge of Palestinians and universally known as a warmonger, will become Israel's prime minister this week. He has a 16-point lead in opinion polls over the current PM, Ehud Barak, and Israelis feel he offers them the best chance of security after the recent cycle of violence with the Palestinians. However, many Israeli leftists are panicky that, the day after the elections, Ariel Sharon will start a war. We profile the most controversial man in Israel and one of the most controversial in the world.
