All this incredible, expensive hoopla for a man who was not only an arab bone crusher, but also responsible for destroying lives of thousands of Israel's best in 2005. In a lTorah-less Israeli government and establishment, Sharon has become just another idol to worship - idol that that could do no wrong. Our valiant police will "investigate" a sarcastic remark in a Yeshiva, but completely ignore blatant celebrations by thousands of Israeli arabs. A morally bankrupt Israeli establishment cannot do better.

It is a shame , that even though he was a fighter , he betrayed his people in his last years. Jewish Law is clear. He lost his share in the world to come. (Shulchan Oruch - Hoshen Mishpat 388)

This is the first I heard of it. Can you mention even one "war crime" Sharon did?

like HaShem in many ways, being a fighter one of the foremost ways of being similar to the Creator of the Universe.

which is the work of men, not of Adonai. The ELS Scripture codes in the Torah and Tanakh are HaShem's writings and the matrix on Ariel Sharon says, "HaShem LOVES A(riel) Sharon." Why would HaShem turn away from His eternal kingdom someone He loves that He says He loves in His Torah? You err.

Irrespective of reasons, it is a fact in equity that, Sharon’s lone initiative during the Yom Kippur war, determined whether the State of Israel shall in future exist or not. As such, had it not been for this resource, it is doubtful whether any of us would be living in a Jewish State today, to criticize, scold or sit on the proverbial Fence whenever the name ‘Arik Sharon’ arises!
