Far-right Israeli activists put out a bumper sticker threatening Ariel Sharon’s life. Police sources said Sunday the distributors of the sticker, reading “Sharon: Lily Awaits You,” could be probed for incitement to murder. The slogan refers to Sharon’s wife, Lily, who died in 2000. According to media reports, at least 5,000 of the stickers were issued by the outlawed far-right group Kach.
