Ariel Sharon, who was aggressive since childhood, was born in Moshaf, Caffard Malal, a Jewish peasant family in Sharon Valley, 0/0 mile from Tel Aviv/Kloc. This is one of the earliest Moshaf (an agricultural cooperative based on private land lease farming system) established by Jews in Palestinian areas. Sharon's family name was originally Schneemann, but later it was changed to Sharon Valley, where the family lived.

Sharon has been aggressive since she was a child. 1942, Sharon, who was only 14 years old, joined the Jewish youth paramilitary organization "Gardena". While studying in Tel Aviv High School, Sharon majored in agriculture, politics and military affairs. During this period, he became a member of HAGGANAH, a Jewish underground armed group. From 65438 to 0945, Sharon, as the training object of future Jewish officers, began to receive formal military training. From 65438 to 0947, Sharon became the instructor of Hagana, responsible for the security of Jewish settlements and collective farms.

"Growing up" in the war1May 1948 14, according to the relevant resolutions adopted by the United Nations1947165438+1October 29, the British mandate over Palestinian areas came to an end and the State of Israel was proclaimed. Less than 24 hours later, the Arab Coalition forces composed of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and other countries launched an attack on Israel. The newly formally established Israel Defense Forces immediately engaged in fierce fighting, and the first Middle East war broke out. At the beginning of the war, Sharon was promoted to platoon leader of the Alessandroni Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces. In the war, Sharon showed his extraordinary military talent.

From 65438 to 0949, Sharon was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department of the Israel Defense Forces to collect information about Arab guerrillas active in Syria and Lebanon in northern Israel. From 1952 to 1953, Jewish settlements in Jerusalem were often attacked by Arab guerrillas from Jordan, and Sharon was responsible for directing Israeli commandos to take retaliatory military actions in Jordan. On this basis, Sharon was responsible for the establishment of the Israeli special commando 10 1. At the same time, Sharon entered the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, majoring in Middle East history and Far East history.

1956 When the Second Middle East War (Suez Canal War) broke out, Sharon, who was brave and good at fighting, commanded Israeli paratroopers to capture the strategic Milla Passage, which made great contributions to the Israeli army's final occupation of Sinai Peninsula. However, because he repeatedly violated military orders during the war, the Israeli military leadership was very disgusted with him and could not be promoted for several years in a row.

1957, Sharon, who felt unwelcome in the Israeli army, went to Britain to "change the environment" and studied military theory at Cumberland Military Academy in England. Sharon returned to Israel on 1958 and was appointed as the brigade commander of an army brigade. At the same time, he returned to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem to study law until he graduated in 1962. 1962, Sharon was finally promoted, was awarded the rank of brigadier general, and was appointed as the brigade commander of an armored brigade. 1964, Sharon was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Northern Military Region of the Israel Defense Forces. 1966, Sharon was appointed as the commander of the IDF training unit. 1967, Sharon was promoted to major general. In the same year, the third Middle East War (the Six-Day War) broke out, and Sharon commanded the Israeli army to regain control of the Milla Passage in Sinai Peninsula and capture the Suez Canal Corridor. From 65438 to 0969, Sharon became the commander of the Northern Military Region of the Israel Defense Forces.

Knowing that he was unpopular in the Israeli army, Sharon felt that he had little chance of being appointed as the chief of staff of the Israeli army. He couldn't help feeling a little depressed and applied for retirement in June 1972. However, after the fourth Middle East War (Yom Kippur War) broke out in 1973, the militant Sharon could not help but go into battle again and command the Israeli army on the front line of Sinai Peninsula. In this war, Sharon commanded 27,000 Israeli soldiers to cross the Suez Canal and invade Egypt, which stopped the passive beating of the Israeli army, turned the tide in one fell swoop, and drew a satisfactory full stop for his military career. After the Yom Kippur War, Sharon finally took off his military uniform and began to turn to political development.

From 1973 to 1974, Sharon was elected as a member of the Knesset with the support of Likud Group. 1974 12, Sharon resigned as a member of parliament, withdrew from Likud Group and became the commander of Israel's reserve forces. Six months later, he was appointed as his senior security adviser by former Israeli Prime Minister Rabin. 1976, Sharon formed the "Peace Zion Party" and won two seats in the general election, but this small party quickly disintegrated on its own. From 1977 to 198 1, Sharon was re-elected as a member of the Knesset and formally joined the Likud Group. During this period, Sharon was appointed as Minister of Agriculture by former Israeli Prime Minister Bei Jing and served as Chairman of the Resettlement Committee. He plans to build a large number of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, which has rapidly doubled the number of Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. Sharon's aim is to try to block the links between Gaza and the West Bank and the Palestinian autonomous territories, making it difficult for Palestine to survive.

198 1 year, Sharon was appointed as the minister of national defense by Bei Jing, the second prime minister. 1982, Sharon, who had been fighting for many years, took an adventure and sent troops to Lebanon with the intention of driving all Palestinian refugees in Lebanon into Jordan. As a result, two Palestinian refugee camps, Sabra and Chatila, occurred in September that year, and hundreds of Palestinian women and children fell at the gunpoint of Israeli soldiers, which made the Israeli government unanimously condemned by the international community. 1983 after investigation, the investigation Committee of the Knesset concluded that Sharon, as the defense minister, was directly responsible for the two massacres in Palestinian refugee camps, so Sharon was forced to take the blame and resign and was transferred to the position of minister without portfolio.

During the period from 1984 to 1990, Sharon was appointed Minister of Industry and Trade by Simon Perez, then leader of the Labor Party, who was then Prime Minister of Israel. However, due to opposition to the policy of Likud leader Chamir to promote the Middle East peace process, Chamir resigned as Israeli Prime Minister on 1990 and was appointed Minister of Industry and Trade in the same year. During his tenure as Minister of Construction and Housing from 1990 to 1992, Sharon tried his best to build Jewish settlements in the West Bank of the Jordan River to accommodate Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union who poured into Israel after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union.

1June, 1992, the Likud Party suffered a crushing defeat in the general election, the Labor Party government led by Rabin came back to power, and Sharon and his Likud Party turned into the opposition. 1996 Likud won the general election again. As a "new force" of Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu defeated Simon Perez, a senior politician of the Labour Party, and became the Prime Minister of Israel. After Netanyahu took office, he customized the position of "Minister of Infrastructure" for Sharon, a veteran of Likud Group, and appointed Sharon as Foreign Minister on June 9, 1998. 1May 1999 17 Likud Group lost again in the general election. Netanyahu resigned as the leader of Likud after being defeated by Barak, and Sharon was elected as the new leader of Likud on September 2 of the same year.

■ Unique personality: push your luck. Some Israeli political commentators believe that Sharon's personality characteristics can be summarized in one word-push your luck. After Barak took office, he took drastic measures to promote the Middle East peace process and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which made Sharon extremely uneasy and tried his best to obstruct and destroy it in the Israeli parliament and the media. On September 28th, 2000, Sharon's action of sabotaging the Israeli-Palestinian peace process reached its climax-under the protection of bodyguards, he forcibly went to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was regarded as a "holy place" by Palestinians, thus triggering the latest round of bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. The conflict lasted for several months with no end in sight, resulting in nearly 400 deaths.

Regarding the Middle East peace process, Sharon has always adhered to the position of "peace for peace" and opposed the position of "land for peace". In Sharon's view, all Arab countries pose a threat to Israel's security. He resolutely opposes "the establishment of an autonomous Palestinian state on Israeli territory". Sharon showed unusual enthusiasm for building as many Jewish settlements as possible. He believes that if more than 2 million Jewish settlers are placed in the West Bank and Gaza, Israel will be able to obtain sufficient security. Sharon has always been proud of never shaking hands with Palestinian leader Arafat, and publicly denounced Arafat as a "liar and executioner" in an interview with The New Yorker magazine.

■ Attitude gradually changes to pragmatism. However, after Israel and Palestine signed the Oslo Peace Agreement, Sharon still adopted a more pragmatic attitude, admitting that he "cannot change history" and accepting the reality that Palestine will eventually establish a state. In order to win the support of the Israeli people as much as possible, Sharon repeatedly stressed that he hoped that Israel and Palestine would "live in peace". As for Barak's government's failure to make progress in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, Sharon believed that it was all because Barak "made too many concessions" that the appetite of the Palestinian people was too high. Sharon resolutely opposes Barak's plan to hand over 95% of the land in the West Bank and almost all the land in the Gaza to Palestine, claiming that he will never give another inch of land to the Palestinians after he takes office.

Sharon has always suspected that the United States is keen to intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, and thinks that the wishful thinking of the United States is to force Israel to return to the sideline of the third Middle East war. Sharon also resented the United States' excessive interference in Israel's internal affairs, ridiculed Americans for not treating Israelis as "family" too much, called on Israelis not to "condescend like beggars" in front of Americans, opposed Israel's excessive dependence on American aid, and advocated that Israel's economy should develop and grow independently as much as possible. Sharon's hostile attitude towards the United States makes it difficult for successive American governments and most American politicians, whether Democrats or Republicans, to have a good impression on Sharon. During the period of 1983, Sharon was forced to resign as defense minister because of sending troops to Lebanon to make trouble, and many officials of the US government even applauded. 199/kloc-When Sharon visited the United States in May, American government officials even refused to meet Sharon at the White House, which made Sharon lose face. But interestingly, the wealthy Jewish group, which has a strong influence on American politics, is a staunch supporter of Sharon.

For Sharon's coming to power, the international community generally distrusts the aggressive and adventurous Israeli "hawks". Many people who care about the Middle East peace process are worried that Sharon's coming to power will add fuel to the fire in the Middle East, and its disastrous consequences will be far more serious than those brought by him as a general, a member of parliament and a minister. Palestinian negotiator Erekat said: "For any Arab and Muslim in the Middle East, it only means one thing." . "That is, the door to peace in Israel has been closed."
