The Iraqi dictator incarcerates his opponents or assassinates them at will. The Kurds in northern Iraq have been systematically repressed and whole villages have been destroyed. Well, Sharon comes from a long line of prime ministers who have kept Israel's Arab citizens in second class, destroyed Arab villages, bulldozed Palestinian homes, laid siege to their leaders, assassinated their militants, and terrorized ordinary Palestinians.

This overlooks the massive numbers of Palestinians who have been incarcerated and "disappeared". It is estimated that 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians were taken away during Israel's 1982 invasion. They were taken to the Israeli torture chambers. Many were completely innocent, and simply held hostage as a threat to their families, so that they would not resist Israeli occupation.

Also, there are the Palestinian peace activists that Israel deports, as it desperately tries to avert the peace offensive.
