JERUSALEM (AP) — The medical condition of the comatose former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon sharply deteriorated Wednesday, the hospital treating him said.

Sharon, 85, has been in a coma since 2006 when a devastating stroke incapacitated him at the height of his political power. Since then, he has been in a vegetative state, connected to a respirator. His family has said that he sometimes opens his eyes and moves his fingers.

Amir Marom, a spokesman for Tel Hashomer hospital, where Sharon has been treated for most of the past eight years, said Wednesday that Sharon's medical condition has "deteriorated in the past few days." He refused to elaborate. Contacted by The Associated Press, Sharon's son, Omri, refused to comment.

Messiah won’t show up until Sharon dies according to something I read recently.

Rabbi Kaduri said that before he died and also left a note to be opened one year after his death that revealed the name of the Messiah...Yeshua.

His own son (also a Rabbi) said the note was not in his father's writing.

He said the name was Yehoshua or for those of you in Rio Linda, Joshua. Lot’s of Joshuas out there. I just hope the good rabbi wasn’t joshin’ us!

He was already as bad as it gets before shuffling off this mortal coil. How could he get even worse then he was. I mean, he was already just inches from the finish line to begin with.

Letting someone die of natural causes is not “killing.”

lol.

I think that, considering the explosive nature of the name Yeshua, Yehoshua, Joshua, Jesus within Jewish and rabbinical circles, the Rabbi knew there would be no mistake as to whom he was referring.

Sure why not. Coma (Hebrew tardemet) is akin to tardemah (n. deep sleep, see Strong's Hebrew 8639), derived from radam (v. to be in a deep sleep, unconscious, H7290).

Cf. Isaiah 29

10. For the Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and has covered your heads, the seers:

That's the chapter that begins with "Woe to Ariel, to Ariel..."

Ariel, metaphor for Jerusalem
Jerusalem, metaphor for America
Ariel, metaphor for America

IOW, spiritually comatose (spirit of deep sleep, ruach tardemah, v. 10)

As far as I am concerned Sharon is a war criminal

I love Israel but I do not love Sharon after that camp murderous rampage where he let the Phalange militia murder all those people

He is headed straight to hell

This sounds like a tactical blunder to me, but I don’t know everything about it. The Old Testament had things which would have made this look like a panty raid.
