Title: Ariel Sharon dies.
Post by: Fly on January 11, 2014, 07:07:30 PM

I find it difficult to comprehend why his family kept him alive in a coma on life support for 8 years. ?

Sorry I have no idea who this person is but anyone who does this has to be just thinking of themselves.
We need to let go even if our pain is great or do others disagree?

Oops my bad. Forgot to add a link to a news website. He was an ex controversial PM of Israel.

I don't want to get political on this one. I'm sure Slacky might have something to say.

I agree, surely they were only keping him alive for their own feelings and not his?

Maybe they kept him alive to just rub it in the face of the Palestinians ?

Just saying  :-X
I hope not.

50-50 Hasn't it been like that for eons ?

50/50 - hardly.

Sharon was light years ahead of Ararfat in war, murder, barbarism and general evilness. A world class monster.

Palestinians are still being persecuted in Gaza, very little national media coverage though.

There is speculation that Israel was behind 9/11. They had most to gain by triggering USA attack on Muslim countries.
