Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22:118]

re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

Controversial figure to say the least and no matter what you think of him you have to agree he re-shaped the middle east,

"As one who fought in all of Israel's wars, and learned from personal experience that without proper force, we do not have a chance of surviving in this region ... I have also learned from experience that the sword alone cannot decide this bitter dispute in this land," Sharon said in 2004


Personally I think Sharon created more enemies and ideological hardliners but afer 8 years in a coma and a lifetime of fighting I wish him peace.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

They kept him alive for quite a while. He has been brain dead for a long time. I wondered why they did that.

Yeh strange one isnt it, if I'm honest until recently I thought he was dead.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

I won't miss him, like I didn't in last 8 years. eace

May Prime Minister Sharon rest in peace. In his years of public service, he courageously worked to advance Israel's interests and one can't expect more from a statesman than that.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

good for his loved ones, the man was already dead but his body was being kept alive and now finally he has his peace.

I will not go into his role in history because I am not a fan of Sharon (quite the opposite). All I will say is that he was not a friend of peace.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

One of the most influential characters in the history of the state of Israel.
Has done more than anyone else to ensure its continued existence and prosperity.

May he rest in peace.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

RIP. He was a very divisive and controversial figure for whom I've never had a vast amount of respect, but there have been worse, and he's dead, so RIP.
 
re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

RIP, Mr Sharon, and my condolences to the family.

re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

I don't think any of us can really imagine what it was like for his family and friends to see someone they care about laying in a vegetative state, and not being able to communicate with him for 8 years.

He's finally at peace now and may he RIP.

He was in a coma for 8 years. There have been no advancements in the peace process during that time. It serves no purpose to point blame at events of the past, we have to look to the future. Keep living in the past and there will never be a positive future for ALL the people there.

Keeping looking for reasons to hate each other and the song remains the same.

Re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

He'll go down in history as one of the great enemies to tyranny and oppression; a hero to freedom and liberty. General Sharone planted thousands of terrorists.
 
Re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

great person
he is one of the only modern leaders of israel that i liked
 
Re: Ariel Sharon dies.[W:22]

May he rot in hell and shame on his family for keeping a brain dead man alive for 8 years.
