We reaffirm our unshakable commitment to Israel’s security and our appreciation for the enduring friendship between our two countries and our two peoples.

Who are you going to believe? This letter or your own lying eyes and ears? Sincerely, B and M

I did not expect much in his statement, and my hopes were fulfilled. Compare it to the Mandela statement, which drones on and on. The Sharon statement is the bare minimum the Regime could have said.

Of course not. They would only be lowered to half staff during this horrible jacka$$'s RULE for the likes of Castro, Hugo Chavez or a big muslim leader. I still don't understand why they weren't lowered for Kim Jung Ill.

The State of Israel bows its head on the passing of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Ariel Sharon played a central role in the struggle for the security of the State of Israel over all its years.

He was, first and foremost, a courageous fighter and an outstanding general, and was among the IDF's greatest commanders.

From his youth, he served the people of Israel on the battlefield. He did so as a soldier in the War of Independence, a commander in the Sinai campaign and the Six Day War, and up to his decisive role in the battle over the Suez Canal that led to the turning point in the Yom Kippur War.

He established Unit 101 and took the initiative in the war against terrorism, which became a central pillar of the State of Israel.

Upon leaving the military, he continued to work on behalf of the people of Israel both in his many government roles and as the 11th prime minister of the State of Israel.

His memory will be enshrined forever in the heart of the nation.

Rest in peace, Lion of G-d. May your heroism and dedication to your nation be a source of strength to faithful Jews, a source of new-found wisdom to those foolish Israelis who wish to divide Eretz Yisroel, and may your family be comforted by their memories of you.

Yeah, and he is sending his flunky Biden to attend the funeral instead of attending himself. But he came to Mandela’s funeral. Read ya loud and clear, you piece of lying excrement.

Peace at last for Ariel Sharon, a great man. Israel owes him a great debt.
