Why do I suspect that Obummer won’t be at Sharon’s funeral (and taking selfies). Given Uncle Joe has been around a while, he may get sent to attend; however, I’m not holding my brief given how this admin has handled our relationship with Israel. Bebe said Pres GW Bush was the best friend Israel ever had - - perhaps he’ll attend.

A hero of Arab-Israeli conflicts who ultimately traded land for Taqiyya. RIP.

I’m sorry, but Bush was no last American president, that would be Reagan in my opinion. Bush did a lot of terrible things to the US as well, which is partly why the US is in the dilemma it is in today.

US needs another Calvin Coolidge.

I think Sharon was a good man, and it’s sad to see him go. He was suffering though, so it’s also a good thing. I hope he inspired some young men to stand strong and do right by their country.

RIP Ariel Sharon, you were a human being, flawed sometimes, but with great love for your nation, your people, and God almighty!!! You will be ranked along with Israel’s other great Generals and Leaders, Moses, David, Joshua, Gideon, Abraham, etc. A son of the Lord has returned home to the father of all men, to rest in peace for eternity is God’s heaven.

“This generation shall not all pass away before all these things are fulfilled.”

(Meaning, as I understand it, the generation that sees the re-birth of Israel as a country among the nations. That was 1948. I don’t they meant “to the last man,” but I think they meant in bulk, or in the main. Most. We’re clearly there, in that season...”
