Image by delayed gratification via Flickr Sept. 28, 2000--- Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon visits the Temple Mount , protected by a several-hundred-strong Israeli police force. Palestinian riots erupt, leading to a full-fledged armed uprising (called the Al-Aqsa Intifada by sympathizers and the Oslo War by opponents). After this writing Sharon falls into a coma and is hospitalized. No further news on his condition.  Related articles Gates of Hell Still Too Narrow for Ariel Sharon to Pass Through (desertpeace.wordpress.com) Juliano Mer-Khamis (economist.com) "Our Problem Is Zionism - Which, like a virus, has infected all humanity!"
