How right you are! We need more "eye-openers" like you. Arik Sharon saved our beloved Israel. Like you, Jim, I hope the PM Netanyahu will not spare any effort to protect the integrity of our country. AMEN!

for his errors of judgment,. let us remember him for his military genius What's more,he was a commander who cared like a father for his soldiers. May he be an example for the IDF commanders R.I.P.Sharon.

rest in peace , he was IL hero

An intelligent, brave, humane man who like his parents built this country from scratch. Worked the land and made it bloom. What did you Arabs ever did to the land? Hiow did this land looked like before Sharon's parents and the other pioneers started building a modern state here? What you gave yo the land is one big desolated desert.

a million thanks for your truthful, beautiful words.

to Israel and his family. Israel lost a great leader. Rest in peace.

The generation of heroes that built this country is leaving us one by one. Do we have giants like them who can enter their shoes?

The Arabs have managed to distort everything that has to do with Israel. People like Ariel Sharon who took part in building this country against all odds, son to pioneers who are the fathers of our country was a man with stature and values and humanity that the blood thirsty Arabs who ARE the real killers will never match. NEVER.

You will soon be at rest. Please continue to watch over Israel. From warrior to shomer.

Thank You very much for your condolences... With All due respect to your true feeling of symphathy, Mr. Haddad, I beg to differ... If Arik Sharon wouldn't be exactly, who He was, (the "Buldozer" ) we wouldn't achieve the victories in all our defensive war's and anti terror actions(Chamas, Fattah,Islamic Jihad,etc.) In order to keep our little sovereign and lawful "spek" of land for the true and rightful owners,Israel did not have the luxury of being "less tough" 66 years ago can't efford it to this day...Can you give an example of his violence?

BDHE. He passed on a Shabbos. There is no Beis Din on Shabbos. Only Hashem judges.

cheering at the triumphal entrance of Arik Sharon into the heavenly Jerusalem. It is the most joyous and wonderful sound and happy beyond words. He won't miss us. He is where he is greatly loved and appreciated, like he should have been during his lifetime. Even the newspapers of the Earth have his death as frontpage news in tribute to his greatness to HaShem and the Earth's great loss.

with all due respect to the (late) Mr. Sharon-may his soul now rest in peace- It strikes me odd that he was in a coma for 8 years and for what reason? we may never know the truth!- the family should have allowed him to die in peace instead of suffering for all those years.

Dear lady, you are welcome. I know, as I commented, that "war is war". I do know Israel has been obliged to fight against awful enemies since its independence. I think Sharon was violent one time, in South Lebanon, 1982, when several Arab Palestines were killed in "Sabra" and "Chatila". I remember US President Reagan called up Israeli Premier M Begin, who warned Sharon about it. But nobody is perfect. He is with our same God Unique. Warm Salutes.

Enjoued ro find your reply, Mr. Haddad... In 1982, IDF had no choice, but go into Lebanon and stop the PLO from relentless shelling of Israeli towns...We sufferred 270 terror actions by a force of 18,000 plo terrorists in WB, Gaza and along the Lebanise/Jordan borders...29 Israelis died, more then 300 injured and Thousands of Galilee residents were forced to flee their homes.. Arik Sharon was our "Knight" in Shining Armor..A man of high Values and superb morals: soft, kind & determent to defend the Nation and our sovereignity.. My search on the subject of Sabra & Shatila, revealed, that it was the Lebanese Phalangist militia, who were responsible for the masacres of the innocent unarmed people...No Israeli Jew, epecially Sharon, could or would ever commit such an atrocity to unarmed and innocent civilians... Please do your own search on the subject... All my best and warmest wishes to You, my friend...Hope you are enjoing a great summer in your beautiful country...Best regards and many blessings in the New Year....Thank You for being a friend of our "Tribe"...
