| | | | | Ariel Sharon: Encyclopedia II - Sabra and Shatila massacre - Belgian court proceedings After Sharon's 2001 election to the post of Prime Minister of Israel, a lawsuit was filed by relatives of the victims of the massacre in Belgium alleging his personal responsibility for the massacres, under a 1993 law first used against people implicated in the Rwandan Genocide.

| | | | | Ariel Sharon: Encyclopedia II - Sabra and Shatila massacre - Israel's role in the massacre In its initial statements, the Israeli government initially declared that those critics who regarded the IDF as having responsibility for the events at Sabra and Shatila were guilty of "a blood libel against the Jewish state and its Government." However, as the news of the massacre spread around the world, the controversy grew, and on September 25, 300,000 Israelis — roughly one tenth of the country's population — demonstrated in Tel Aviv demanding answers.
On September 28, the Israeli Government resolved to establish a Commission ...

| | | | | Ariel Sharon: Encyclopedia II - Centre Party Israel - Stalwarts in government The party joined Ehud Barak's One Israel coalition, ultra-Orthodox orientalist Shas, David Levy's social pressure group Gesher, the leftist Meretz, the National Religious Party, and immigrant sector faction Yisrael Ba'aliya in one of the least united governments in Israel's history. In retrospect Mordechai would have been one of the more outstanding ministers (he was both deputy premier and minister of transport) if a sex scandal from his years in the army hadn't erupted and brought him down. On May 30, 2000, Mordechai resigned from the Knes ...

| | | | | Ariel Sharon: Encyclopedia II - Israeli West Bank barrier - Opinions on the barrier
Israeli West Bank barrier - Israeli opinions.
Israeli public opinion has been very strongly in favor of the barrier, partly in the hope that it will improve security and partly in the belief (denied by the government) that the barrier marks the eventual border of a Palestinian state. Due to the latter possibility, the settler movement opposes the barrier, although this opposition has waned since it became clear the barrier would be diverted to the east of major Israeli settlements such as Ariel. According to Haar ...

| | | | | Ariel Sharon: Encyclopedia II - Haredi Judaism - Present day
Haredi Judaism - Israel.
In Israel, home to the most numerically powerful Haredi population, the situation is different. There, as in the United States, the community has adopted a policy of isolationism, but at the same time, it has also struggled for inclusion in dominant society, perceiving itself as the true protector of the country's Jewish nature.
The issues date to the late nineteenth-early twentieth century, with the rise of Zionism. Until the Holocaust, the vast majority of Haredi Jews rejected Zi ...
