MP Jumblatt: Israel's former PM Sharon is similar to some Arab leaders

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt said on Tuesday that late Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was " similar to some leaders in the Arab world who mistreated their people, displaced them and committed numerous massacres against them.”

“It seems that 'Sharonism' is an Israeli policy implemented in Israel and the Arab countries,” he added.

Jumblatt's comments were made in his weekly editorial in his party's al-Anbaa newspaper.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the trailblazing warrior-statesman who transformed the region and was reviled by Arab foes over generations of conflict, died on Saturday at 85 eight years after suffering a massive stroke.
