Ariel Sharon has been in a persistent vegetative state since 2004 ...
I've often wondered why he wasn't allowed to die.

Could this be the reason ?

If the leading Jewish Rabbi believes that the TRUE Messiah is Jesus, it completely undermines ALL Jewish teachings surely?

This Rabbi says that Jesus will return immediately following Sharon's death.

there are as many odd Jewish sects as there are Christan and Muslim. People make the mistake of thinking they all speak with one voice.

Hassidic Jews in New York (who basically run the diamond trade) believe Israel is an illegal country and do not recognise it.

There are Jewish sects that accept Jesus as a true prophet.

Hell, there are even some Tories who are sane and sensible.

... but NOT this one !

It undermines ALL their traditional thinking and ideology.

300,000 attended this Rabbi's funeral - showing he had enormous support.

also, hedda -

You fail to explain WHY Sharon is being kept alive when he is clearly dead (and has been for years).

I don't believe this nonsense - but I'm not entirely sure that the Jewish leaders don't believe it.

The condition of Israel's former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon - who has been in a coma since 2006 - is now critical, "with some danger to life", his doctors have said.

Mr Sharon, 85, is suffering from a malfunction of several organs including the kidneys, they said.

After a second, major stroke in 2006, he went into a coma and has been in a persistent vegetative state ever since.

"some danger to life" ????
He's been dead for years !!!

Everyone should have the right to die. Being a vegetable or being kept alive by life support machine, it's no life at all for them.

Rabbi's have always been odd, peculiar and deluded.

I have no idea but presumably his family are the ones who decide whether the machine is switched off.

doubt it's because of some weird plot.

100,000 attended the manic Rabbi's funeral - he clearly has some followers and believers !

"Palestinians remember him for Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982, during which a massacre of civilians was carried out by Christian Phalangist militia in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Ariel Sharon was found personally responsible by an Israeli inquiry for allowing the massacre to happen".

...... another war criminal bites the dust !

US President Barack Obama offered his condolences to Mr Sharon's family, saying: "We join with the Israeli people in honouring his commitment to his country."

Very terse response from Obama ... and Cameron also said as little as he could !!!!

I notice that B-Lair (wearing skullcap !) turned up to the funeral .... but no one else of importance did !

What a contrast with Mandela's funeral.

Also interesting that the story (of the funeral) does not even feature in the BBC's Top 10 "most read" sites !

I wonder how much of his money came from that direction (apart that is, from the very lucrative "job" of being the Quartet's "envoy" - and making sure no deal was ever reached?)
