Sharon visits Hatuel family in Ashkelon One of the more difficult jobs that a leader has to do. We witness the level of hatred against another race or religion, by those who feel nothing for these victims. But it is difficult to understand how humans can hear about the story of a pregnant mother and her four daughters being brutally slain, and not feel anything because the victims were of another religion. What type of a human being cannot feel compassion towards the Hatuels??? Those that read the story of these brutal killings, and don't feel for the victims, have some serious mental disturbances. jpost.com "Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited relatives of Tali Hatuel at their home in Ashkelon, Channel 2 reported Saturday. Tali Hatuel was killed with her four daughters last Sunday when Palestinian terrorists opened fire at their vehicle in Gush Katif. During his visit the prime minister said that the process of unilateral disengagement is difficult and vowed to proceed with it. "We have to disengage, in order to build and help other places in Israel," Sharon said. The visit was closed to the media, but it was recorded by members of the Hatuel family and distributed to the media. Labeled "our father", in reference to his persistence support for settlers throughout his military and political career, the prime minister was asked about the circumstances that caused his change of position. Sharon replied, "I thought the opposite during times when it was possible to choose another way. If we want to endure very difficult situations, which cannot be solved with slogans, we must fortify ourselves in positions that can be defended." The PM added that he intends to visit Gush Katif in the near future. "I'm able to come and look anyone in the eye," he said. Meanwhile, speaking at a conference in Tel Aviv on Saturday, Labor Party Chairman Shimon Peres said that the Likud has become an extremist right-wing party that is pursuing a dead-end path. "If Sharon were ready to give Netzarim to [Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas] Abu Mazen, the situation would have been different," the opposition leader added."
