Relieved from pergatory, now in hell.

Good.

How many of you are glad that Sharon is dead?
-
In a speech to American Jewish leaders this week, Sharon warned of the dangers that could spring from giving Kosovo Albanians an independent state: “It [the state] is liable in the future to turn into a part of Greater Albania, and to serve as a base for radical Islamic terrorism–a core of which already exists there–that may spread throughout Europe.
In a Belgrade newspaper interview, Sharon said that "we stand together with you against the Islamic terror".
May God bless his soul. He was our great friend and we will never forget him.

Sharon's piece-of-drek son Gilad claims that "Sharon decided when he wanted to go!"
http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Former-prime-minister-Ariel-Sharon-dies-at-85-337662
Of course we know that it is Hashem who is the מלך ממית and we hope that when they try to inter Sharon's carcass, the Holy earth will refuse to accept it & demonstrably the "Land will vomit him forth"!
Sharon's sons Gilad & Omri solely kept their father alive for the last 8 years to glean his fat 250,000 NIS monthly pensions!
(http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.340739.1296606420!/image/1982206480.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_640/1982206480.jpg)
The doctors say that Sharon was constantly conscious during those 8 years! A small atonement in preparation for his bigger pending punishment for having caused a bigger Chilul Hashem than the Holocaust!
Sharon may once have had good points, but by the Gaza Deportation he undid them all "All the righteousness which he did will not be remembered" (Yechezkel 18), and despite his previous heroism, self-sacrifice and good deeds, the Rambam states that some men can lose everything and end up getting no credit, it being the way of God that they not even be remembered in the Afterlife (Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Chovel u'Mazik 8 ).

I agree. I don't like to use the quote feature if I agree with someone's post.

I heard. So he was in a coma 8 years.

It's a touchy subject for a lot of people apparently. Like 6 people said they left the JDL UK facebook page because I said we wouldn't miss him. Not that I care of course, but I am amazed how people get more upset by opposing their little dreams than by what muslims do.
Even refering to the old JTF articles on sharon does not make them see the light.

I read that sharons mother was a russian gentile who converted reform and never kept mitzvot.

“Ah, Ariel, Ariel!... Let the feasts come round, and I will cause Ariel to suffer…” (Isaiah 29:1-2) by Daniel Pinner
“Ah, Ariel, Ariel!... Let the feasts come round, and I will cause Ariel to suffer…” (Isaiah 29:1-2)

[Posted shortly after Shabbat went out here in Israel. I request anyone reading this in places where it is still Shabbat (Europe, USA, etc) not to respond in any way, not to "like", until Shabbat has gone out wherever you are.]
Ah, Ariel, Ariel! If only your stroke had happened a year earlier! Your stroke smote you on 4th of Tevet 5766 (4th January 2006), scant weeks before your 78th birthday, barely a year after you first announced the “Disengagement Plan” at the Herzliya Conference. Until then you were a great man, hated by some, loved by others – but respected and admired by everyone, even your foes. Feared by all, especially your foes. You were the man before whose very name the enemies of Israel quailed, the man known as “the bulldozer,” because you would crush anyone who dared stand in your way. And for decades, you always used that awesome power for Israel – until you decreed the expulsion of 9,000 Jews from their homes.
Ah, Ariel, Ariel! You are a truly tragic figure, in the best traditions of classic Greek tragedy: a hero, larger than life, who fell from the greatest heights to utter disgrace at the end of your life. If only God would have decreed that you become immobilised just one year earlier – just think how you would have been remembered and eulogised today! Almost very Zionist would have remembered you as a war hero, a fearless warrior, a great leader – the man who fought for Israeli independence back in the 1940s, the man who won battle after battle in the War of Independence in 1948-49, the man who planned and commanded and won the Suez War (the Kadesh Campaign) of 1956, the hero who saved Israel from annihilation in the Yom Kippur War of 1973, the master strategist and tactician who defeated El Fatah terrorism in Lebanon in 1982.
Only a few extremists (like the present writer) would still have remembered that you took part in the “Season” – the hunting season, that is, of 1944, when the Haganah sent its soldiers out to hunt down members of the Etzel (the Irgun) andthe Lehi (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel or Stern Group) and hand them over to the British occupation authorities. The “hunting season”, when Jews were being exterminated in Europe, when Britain’s Royal Navy was patrolling the shores of Palestine to ensure that no Jewish refugees would reach safety here, when Arab gangs were murdering Jews throughout the Land of Israel, when the British Army was forcibly preventing Jews from defending themselves, when the Etzel and the Lehi were battling Arab murderers and desperately smuggling Jews out of Europe and into Israel – and you commanded the Haganah squads whose sole task was to hunt down not Arab terrorists, not the British occupiers, but fellow-Jews who were fighting for Jewish independence in this Land.
Ah, Ariel, Ariel! How cruel God was to allow you that extra year. How cruel He was not to immobilise you before you had the opportunity to disgrace yourself and your ideology in the eyes of the nation and the world. How callous He was to a generation which adored you and idolised you.
Yet by allowing you that extra year of life, God shattered one more false idol of the Israeli Right. How many nationalist Israelis were convinced that you, of all people, would be able to defeat Arab terrorism! You were the great hope of the Israeli right.
A time there was when Israelis sighed and said: If only Menachem Begin were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Begin will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But alas, when Begin won the election to become Prime Minister he didn’t dare to annexe Judea, Samaria, Gaza, or the Sinai Desert, neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
To the contrary – it was Begin who set the precedent for destroying Jewish towns and villages when he gave the entire Sinai Desert to Egypt in exchange for a scrap of paper, and Begin who set the precedent for Israel recognizing a Palestinian Arab nation which the Arab League (primarily Egypt) had invented just a decade earlier.
And it was you, Ariel Sharon, who commanded the destruction of the Jewish communities in the Sinai Desert.
But we made your excuses for you then. After all, it wasn’t you that decided on the policy – you merely executed the decision that Menachem Begin had made, and you did your duty with a heavy heart.
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Yitzchak Shamir were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Shamir will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But alas, Shamir didn’t dare to annexe Judea, Samaria, or Gaza (Begin had long since abandoned the Sinai Desert), neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount. To the contrary, when Saddam Hussein launched 39 Scud missiles at Israel during the Gulf War, Shamir set the precedent for absorbing a military attack from a hostile state without defending Israel. Shamir turned out to be the stereotype Ghetto-Jew, trembling at the sound of the Cossacks’ sabres and pleading on bended knee for the Gentile (this time America) to protect the Jews.
And then Shamir initiated the Madrid Conference, which in turn led directly to the Oslo death process, the Oslo murder accords.
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Binyamin Netanyahu were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Netanyahu will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! But alas, Netanyahu didn’t dare to annexe Judea, Samaria, or Gaza, neither did he dare combat Arab terrorists politically as he had done militarily in his younger days, neither did he dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
To the contrary – it was Netanyahu who gave away Hebron, our second holiest city, to Arab terrorists. Netanyahu shook Arafat’s hand (and smiled while he did it!) and hugged that disgusting mass-murderer just as enthusiastically as Yitzchak Rabin, Shimon Peres, and Ehud Olmert had ever done.
Then Israelis sighed and said: If only Ariel Sharon were Prime Minister – just see how he would sort out the terrorists! Sharon will restore pride and self-confidence to Israel! Sharon, who built the settlements! Sharon, whose very life’s work was settling the Land of Israel! Sharon, who had inspired generations of Jews to defy the world, defy their own government, and restore Jewish sovereignty throughout the Land! Sharon, who would eliminate every last terrorist from Gaza,if only given free hand!
You were, after all, the only Prime Minister since Rabin whose hand was not defiled by shaking Arafat’s bloodstained hand.
But alas, you didn’t dare to annexe Judea, Samaria,or Gaza, neither did you dare combat Arab terrorists politically as you had done militarily in your younger days, neither did you dare to enforce Israeli and Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount.
Just two days before Rosh HaShanah 5760 (28th Sept 2000), you went up to the Temple Mount. You defied world opinion and the Israeli Government, forcing the Israeli Police to send over 1,000 police officers to enter our holy site. How we Zionists cheered you on! You showed the world that you, of all people, would return Jews to their holiest area in the world!
And less than half a year later you received your prize when the government fell, Prime Minister Ehud Barak fell from office, and you – at long last! – became Prime Minister of Israel. And how we nationalist Israelis rejoiced! Now it was you, Ariel Sharon, “the bulldozer”, who would decide Israeli policy. Begin, Shamir, Netanyahu – they all buckled. But you – never! You would stand firm, you would never waver or compromise.
And then, almost 11 years ago, on the 25th of Sh’vat 5763 (28thJanuary 03), the Israeli electorate rewarded you by sweeping you into power. You led the Likud to victory with 38 seats in the Knesset – twice as many as its closest rival, Labour-Meimad.
How the Left quailed! And how all Israel’s other enemies despaired! And how the right-wing, particularly the National-Religious camp, rejoiced!
But ah, Ariel, Ariel! How are the mighty fallen! Faced with the threat of legal proceedings against you, suspected of fraud and bribery on a massive scale, you – who dared to take on armies vastly bigger than yourself – collapsed. Less than a year after that election, just two days before Hannukah 5764 (18thDecember 2003), you announced that you would give the Left what they wanted: you would throw every last Jew out of Gaza and northern Samaria.
That was your Hannukah present to Israel that year.
No one was under any delusions. We all knew that you had given the Left what they wanted – torturing thousands of those hated “settlers” and destroying theirlives – in return for not being prosecuted.
But actually you did the entire nation a giant favour. By capitulating to our Left and the Hamas, by bringing Hamas missiles within easy striking range of every Israeli city, you destroyed the last great idol of the Israeli Right. You, and only you, were capable of smashing the final delusion that a great secular nationalist would defend Israel against his own self-interest.
If only God would have smitten you with that stroke a year earlier, then today, on the day of your death, almost the entire Right in Israel would be mourning for you, and the entire Left would have remembered you as a great and heroic enemy.
Instead, you are remembered by all with a combination of pity and contempt, all your previous magnificent achievements wiped out by your last great betrayal.
Ah, Ariel, Ariel! You were once a great soldier, a great politician, and a great leader. Now that you are gone, there will never be another like you. Thank God.

I read that sharons mother was a russian gentile who converted reform and never kept mitzvot.
I think she was subbotnik if you have heard the term. They were Russian villagers who adopted rabbinic Judaism, then later when they came to Israel they became seculars just like pretty much all the other pioneers.

"When Ariel Sharon stands before the Heavenly Court and good and bad angels empty the cases on the scales of judgement, there will be great tension," wrote Ben-Ari on his official Facebook page. "The scales will waver wildly from here to there," as initially his military accomplishments in defending the country will tip the scales in his favor, opines Ben-Ari.
"But then will surely come the 26 destroyed communities in Yamit, flowering greenhouses, vibrant communities, and they will tip the scales against him," writes Ben-Ari. "Expelled residents of Yamit who grew old and wrinkled with the memory of their destroyed efforts, refugees of Gush Katif in Nitzan and Nitzana, waiting for the fulfillment of the promise of 'a solution to every resident,'" he said, alluding to the plight of the refugees of Gush Katif, many of whom remain without permanent housing or employment more than eight years on, despite government promises at the time.
"All these will come and shed their tears and affronts on the scales against him, and again the scales will waver, this time to the left," according to Ben-Ari.
In Ben-Ari's analysis, there is "Sharon the man and Sharon the phenomenon," namely a seemingly right-wing leader who doggedly defends Israel's security but in the end brings tragedy and disaster to Israel by turning left politically.
Ben-Ari continued by saying he was issuing his criticism "because I must, because the danger is crouching at our door, for there are many others in the 'right-wing' figure of Sharon. Declared right-wingers to all appearances, who suddenly flip on us."
In particular, Ben-Ari pointed the finger at Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, former Prime Ministers Ehud Olmert and Menachem Begin, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon for following the same path of initially pushing for Israeli security only to change suddenly in making concessions.
"When the right-wing ideology is security-based, that's its end," warns Ben-Ari. "Our hold on the land of Israel isn't a matter of security, but rather faith. Rabbi Meir Kahane (Hy''d) said of this: 'I don't want to lose my land, not in war and not in peace.'"
"Sharon, who was a hero in war, brought on us destruction and dangers in the hallucination of peace," concludes Ben-Ari. "A pity over his old age that shamed his great acts."

Ariel Sharon
Posted on September 13, 2010 by rabbikahane
When Ariel Sharon met with Arafat’s aid Abu Mazen, many were shocked and disappointed that yet another “giant” in the fight for Eretz Yisrael had bitten the dust. But on such a matter we have no complaints against Sharon, but rather on all those who criticize him. Such people never wanted to know the true philosophy of Sharon, who was never a man for Eretz Yisrael in the same sense that we are. Already for some time, Sharon has been involved in the new Israeli national sport of “sketching maps”, and everyone knows that his proposal for the final status arrangement is far from being one of “Not One Inch”!
Should this come as a surprise? The answer is no. Every time Sharon was given a prime position in the government (such as Defense Minister), he suddenly “toned himself down”, as if he wanted to combat his image as an extremist. Everyone remembers how it was Sharon, who as Defense Minister, led the dismantlement of Yamit. NOT EVERYONE REMEMBERS that it was Sharon as Defense Minister, who suddenly gave the Arabs extraordinary leniencies in the territories.
When Sharon was part of the Israeli negotiating team in the autonomy talks back in 1980, Shmuel Tamir, who was then part of the same team, said the following to one of the settlement leaders: “I know that you think I am part-traitor, but I am telling you that I am preventing catastrophe daily inregard with what Sharon wants to do with the Palestinian authorities.”
Without a doubt, Sharon is a military hero, who has brought great salvation to Israel. But like most military men, he has no obligation to any ideology whatsoever.

The traitor Ariel Sharon, who gave the holy land of Yehudah to the Arabs is dead!! Good riddance!! You will not be missed you traitor!! The man once was a lion who defended the Israeli people with his heart and soul and was a great hero! Sadly, money, power, greed and corruption got the best of this man! This lion turned into a jackal and betrayed the very people he once vowed so hard to protect! The damage Sharon has inflicted on the Jewish people will take a long time to reverse and may never be remedied until the coming of Moshiach. This man is no hero and deserves the same honor as every other traitor who relinquishes Jewish land into the hands of its enemies!

This by Chamish 9 years ago:
Ha'aretz Reporter Claims Sharon Murdered His First Wife
By Barry Chamish
7-31-2005
Who is leading the Jews out of Gush Katif? According to Haaretz reporter Uzi Benziman, a vocal advocate of "disengagement:" Ariel Sharon, a wife murderer.
Powerful suspicions that Sharon eliminated his first wife and possibly his first son are widespread. Not so ironically, the accusers are mostly from the "disengagement" supporters of the Left, who made them when Sharon was their bogeyman, not hero.
We begin our journey with the official version of events:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Sharon
Sharon has been widowed twice. Shortly after becoming a military instructor, he married his first wife, Margalith, with whom he had a son, Gur.
Margalith died in an auto accident in 1962, and Gur died in October 1967 after being shot while playing with his father's rifle. After Margalith's death, Sharon married her younger sister, Lily.
Now we hear from an Israel-hating Israeli musician:
http://www.gilad.co.uk/html%20files/blood.html
Meanwhile, Sharon's personal life story reveals another spectrum of mystery not many people in the west know about. Sharon's family has been blighted by accidental tragedies with no connection to the region's endless wars. The Prime Minister's first wife, Margalit, was killed in a car accident in 1962, and his eleven-year-old son, Gur, died in a shooting accident in 1967. These are the dry facts.
Few people know that Sharon's second wife, Lily, was actually Margalit's younger sister. At the time there were some vicious rumours that it was Sharon's affair with his wife's sister which led Margalit to suicide. Gur found his death while playing with his father's loaded gun. I myself have neither the means nor the intention to search for the true story of Sharon's family affairs. On the contrary, I would argue that the element of bloody gossip entangled with some libidinal rumours helped to glorify the image of the promising young officer.
Next a poet:
http://www.karenalkalay-gut.com/diaryjan12.html
This was idle gossip in the early seventies - Imagine the ladies in Cafe Exodus on a Friday afternoon whispering about the strange death of Sharon's first wife. She drove her car off the road, said one, because she found out her husband was leaving her for her sister, Lily. Someone fixed her brakes, said another.
Next week the ladies are back - see! he's marrying the sister! He got rid of her for sure.
That was ALL I knew of Sharon in the seventies - that his wife died under mysterious circumstances.
Now a mystic:
http://www.unknownnews.net/cdd090202.html
Sharon's first wife Margalit was supposed to have been killed in a car crash in 1962. His wife's sister, Liala (known as Lily) immediately moved in, to act as a "housekeeper" " a few months later they were married. Then, not many years later, Sharon and Margalit's son Gur (who, depending on which report you believe, was either 9 years old or 11 years old at the time) was accidentally killed playing with one of Sharon's guns.
One report I found from a Middle East magazine says that the story about Margalit dying in a car crash was totally fabricated by Sharon " they claim that the truth is that Margalit killed herself, despondent over the revelation that Sharon and her sister were having an affair.
The direct link to this was expunged, but was fortunately cached in Google (and to be on the safe side, I copied it into a permanent file)
http://216.239.51.100/ search? q= cache:o0_x1NQuD3UC: www.moqawama.org/
articles/ doc_2002/ autobiography.htm+ margalit+ sharon+ car+
accident&hl= en&ie= UTF-8
Although there are minor sources of these suspicions, one very major source stands out. He is Uzi Benziman, a reporter with Haaretz:
http://www.digitalmediatree.com/dratfink/date/2002/
"When he returned to Israel in 1962 his wife Margalit was killed in a traffic accident. Sharon describes this event with honorable restraint"precisely the same restraint with which he later describes the death of his beloved son Gur, who was killed at the age of eleven when another boy shot him unintentionally with a rifle that was in Sharon's house. But touching as they are, even these two tales require the corrections to be found in Benziman's book. Sharon ascribes his wife's accident to the fact that the car she was driving, which they had brought back from England, had right-wheel drive. But, according to Benziman, many of Sharon's acquaintances believe his wife committed suicide in the accident after discovering that Sharon was conducting an affair with her younger sister Lily, who, shortly after her death, became Sharon's wife and the mother of his children. Moreover, after his son's death Sharon was vengeful toward the boy who had shot Gur, accusing him of intentionally killing him. The boy and his mother, the widow of a pilot, were forced to leave their house, which was near Sharon's."
http://www.pnic.gov.ps/english/Jenin/SharonAutobiography.html
In his autobiography book Sharon says that his wife was killed in a traffic accident, because the steering wheel was an English type, and his son was killed by mistake by another child was playing with Sharon's rifle. The Israeli journalist Uzi Benziman said in his book " Sharon, Caesar of Israel that Sharon pretended to forget that his first wife was not killed in a car accident but she committed suicide when discovered the illicit love affair between Sharon and her sister Leila. After the death of his first wife they, Sharon and Leila, actually got married. Concerning the death of his son, Sharon as Benziman said was not tolerant as he said in his autobiography, with the child's family. On the contrary, he used all kinds of terrorism and brutality against them and forced them to move to another place.
Benziman claimed in his book, Sharon, Caesar Of Israel, that Ariel Sharon deliberately drove his first wife to suicide, and that is murder. This claim has led to broader charges in the Arab media:
http://english.daralhayat.com/opinion/OPED/04-2005/Article-2
0050415-4618ac84-c0a8-10ed-001a-1411782c4c95/story.html
On May 6, 1962, Margalit was driving her car from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, when she suddenly veered out of her lane. A truck approaching from the opposite direction was unsuccessful in avoiding her. She died. Sharon died when he got the news, however, he remained silent during her funerals.
The police investigation found Margalit responsible for reckless and negligent driving. Friends said that she was in love with Sharon and had a strong sense of jealousy of her own youngest sister, Lilly. Lilly had immigrated to Israel as a youngster and spent her first few years ay Sharon's home. When called up to the army, she served in the Paratroopers Brigade, then under Sharon's command.
Margalit's acquaintances note that during the weeks just prior to the accident, Margalit was once depressed and preoccupied, and had confided to a friend that her life had become miserable as a result of her all consuming suspicion of a liaison between her sister and her husband.
Did Margalit die in a common car accident or did she suicide?
A year later on, Sharon married Lilly.
Recently, a right-leaning site joined the fray by declaring suspicions about the death of Sharon's son Gur shortly after Sharon married the boy's aunt:
http://web.israelinsider.com/views/6081.htm
In the summer of 1967, eleven-year old Gur Sharon trumped all of his buddies by declaring, "My Abba gave me five guns".
A couple of months later, tragedy struck. On Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the year, Arik Sharon's first-born son, from his first wife, was dead from a bullet wound.
Details are sketchy, but it seems that somehow Gur and a friend managed to get a bullet into the chamber of a shotgun. Arik Sharon was home at the time, and Gur died in his arms.
I don't know what the laws were 38 years ago, but in today's world a "lesser" man may have been brought up on charges of criminal negligence.
Indeed, any honest police investigator would ask why Sharon let his son play with a loaded rifle. Why was he not charged with criminal negligence, as anyone else would inevitably have been?
Thanks, in no small part to Benziman, a new picture emerges of a sociopath murdering his first family so he could start a fresh one with his new wife, the sister of the deceased.
So who is this Uzi Benziman who broke the story of the Sharon family murder(s)? He is now one of the country's leading voices calling for the evacuation of the Jews of Gush Katif. Sharon has few allies so useful to his plans. Let us now hear from Mr. Benziman:
http://english.katif.net/index.php?id=98%E2%8A%82=2
Preparations for withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria are not in the public consciousness and have not become central to public discourse. As a result, there is no atmosphere of preparation for something that is really going to happen...The mantle of normalcy worn by these negotiations is a great missed opportunity; it leads to delay which in turn leads to the evaporation of the critical national significance of the decision.

The settlers are rebelling against the rule of law and the authority of the state. As if that were not enough, when the law catches up with them, they act as if they are the ones who have been wronged.
The settlers and their official leadership openly declare they do not accept cabinet and Knesset decisions to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank. They challenge the legitimacy of these decisions, and there are those among them who declare outright their preference for another source of authority

The decisions on the disengagement plan to be made by the cabinet [on Sunday] and the Knesset on Tuesday may be essential steps, but they will still not ensure its implementation. The demand to prefer halakha [Jewish law] to the law of the land, to exclude Israel's Arab citizens from the process of approving disengagement, to deviate from accepted norms of debate and decision-making, to shut up opposition by means both administrative and juridical, are all clouds that presage the storm.
Violence will later emerge from its lair with all of its destructive force. If the country does not manage to impose its authority on the minority opposing disengagement, it will open the gate to its disintegration.
Commentator Uzi Benziman in Haaretz
In short, Mr. Benziman, believing full well that Sharon murdered his first wife after investigating the crime, is now working for the murderer. In an honest, sane nation with an honest, sane media, Benziman would be demanding a reinvestigation of the murder of Margalit Sharon and his newspaper would be exposing the mad killer leading their nation into catastrophe.
Instead, Uzi Benziman is letting Sharon murder again, this time with his enthusiastic approval.

'King of Israel,' Ariel Sharon, Dead at 85
Saturday, 11 Jan 2014 08:17 AM - By Jim Meyers and Martin Gould
Ariel Sharon — the military hero and prime minister who was among the most controversial figures in the history of Israel — has died, eight years after the massive stroke that left him comatose. He was 85.
He died Saturday at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, outside of Tel Aviv, where he has been cared for since 2006.
Over his long career Sharon served as Israel's 11th prime minister, headed several ministries including Defense, and rose to the rank of general in the Israeli army, seeing action in all four of Israel's major wars.
Reviled by Arabs over his hardline policies and viewed with a mixture of respect and suspicion by many Israelis, Sharon had been on life support at the hospital far from the public gaze.
A state funeral is planned.
Sharon was born on Feb. 26, 1928, in Kfar Malal, then in the British Mandate of Palestine. His parents had emigrated from Russia.
"I was born on a farm," he said many year later. "My strength has nothing to do with political apparatus. I get my strength from nature, from flowers."
In 1942, at the age of 14, Sharon joined the Gadna, a paramilitary youth battalion, and later the Haganah, an underground paramilitary force.
He was a platoon commander in the Israeli military at the outset of the 1948 War of Independence, and rose swiftly up the ranks during the war.
In the 1956 Suez War, Sharon commanded a paratrooper brigade, and he headed Israel's most powerful armored division as a major general in the 1967 Six-Day War. His actions on the Sinai front brought Sharon international commendation by military strategists.
Sharon retired from military service in 1973, but was called back to active duty at the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War in October of that year.
Sharon's bold maneuver in crossing the Suez Canal and encircling Egypt's Third Army was considered the key to Israel's ultimate victory and led the Israeli public to nickname him "The King of Israel" and "The Lion of God."
Crowds swarmed the streets singing a revised old Hebrew Song — "David: King of Israel" — replacing David with Sharon's nickname, "Arik: King of Israel."
Sharon, who received a law degree from the Tel Aviv branch of the Hebrew University, served as a special aide to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in the mid-1970s, then as Secretary of Agriculture.
He used his position to encourage Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, doubling the number of Jewish settlements on the West Bank and Gaza Strip during his tenure.
Following the 1981 elections, he was appointed Minister of Defense, the post he held during the 1982 Lebanon War.
In 1983, an Israeli state inquiry found Sharon indirectly responsible for the killing of hundreds of Palestinian men, women, and children at Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
The slaughter took place after the Israeli army, which invaded Lebanon in 1982, allowed Israeli-backed Christian Phalangist militiamen to enter the camps. Sharon was forced to resign his post.
>From 1983 to 1999, he served in successive governments as a Minister without Portfolio, Minister for Trade and Industry, Minister of Housing Construction, Minister of National Infrastructure, and Foreign Minister.
On Sept. 28, 2000, Sharon — then head of the Likud Party — led more than 1,000 Israeli police officers to the Temple Mount complex in Jerusalem, a Jewish holy site that also includes two of Islam's holiest sites, the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. He declared that the complex would remain under perpetual Israeli control.
The provocative move torpedoed ongoing peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians and led to the Palestinian uprising known as the intifada. But Sharon and his supporters claimed that Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian National Authority had planned the uprising months before Sharon's visit.
Sharon was elected prime minister in February 2001. Two years later, he announced his commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state in the future.
"It is not in our interest to govern you," he told the Palestinians. "We would like you to govern yourselves in your own country.
"Abandon the path of terror and let us together stop the bloodshed," he pleaded. "Let us move forward together towards peace."
He ordered the unilateral withdrawal of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, expelling nearly 10,000 settlers from 21 settlements in August 2005. Israeli soldiers formally left Gaza in September.
Critics of the withdrawal point to the territory's seizure two years later by Hamas Islamists opposed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and to intensive rocket fire from Gaza.
The withdrawal decision sparked bitter protests from members of the Likud Party. Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quit the Cabinet in protest.
"Netanyahu is pressured easily, gets into a panic and loses his senses," said Sharon. "To run a country like Israel a leader needs to have reason and judgment and nerves of steel, two traits he does not have."
In November 2005, Sharon resigned as head of Likud to form a new party, Kadima, and his rival Netanyahu took over as leader of Likud.
Sharon was a fierce defender of Israel and the Jewish people.
"Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no-one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial," he said.
But he recognized that Israel had to improve relations with its Arab neighbors.
"If we are to reach a situation of true peace, real peace, peace for generations, we will have to make painful concessions. Not in exchange for promises, but rather in exchange for peace," he said in 2003.
"If it turns out that we have someone to talk to, that they understand that peace is neither terrorism nor subversion against Israel, then I would definitely say that we will have to take steps that are painful for every Jew and painful for me personally," Sharon said.
Not everyone believed his conciliatory words. Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography, "An American Life," called Sharon "a bellicose man, who seemed to be chomping at the bit to start a war."
During his time as prime minister, Sharon piled on weight, causing doctors to warn him that he was putting his health at risk. His official car was said to be stacked with snacks, caviar, and vodka.
"I love life. I love all of it, and in fact I love food," he said.
He even joked about his weight, which ballooned to 250 pounds, although he was only 5 feet, 7 inches. When asked about fears for his safety, he shot back "There is no bullet-proof vest in my size."
Polls in November 2005 indicated that Sharon was likely to beat Netanyahu at the polls, but on Dec. 18, he suffered a mild stroke while heading to his ranch in the Negev Desert.
He left the hospital after two days, but on Jan. 4, 2006, suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage that left him comatose and on life support. His deputy Ehud Olmert formally succeeded him as prime minister in April.
Within months, Sharon was transferred to a long-term care unit at Sheba. Medical experts said his cognitive abilities were destroyed by the stroke and he was in a persistent vegetative state with little chance of regaining consciousness, though family members refused to allow them to turn off his life support.
"When he is awake, he looks at me and moves fingers when I ask him to," his son Gilad said in 2011. "He lies in bed, looking like the lord of the manor, sleeping tranquilly. Large, strong, self assured. His cheeks are a healthy shade of red. When he's awake, he looks out with a penetrating stare. He hasn't lost a single pound; on the contrary, he's gained some."
When Sharon suffered from renal failure on New Year's Day, Israeli media reported that doctors were unlikely to take drastic measures to keep him alive.
In the end, he died peacefully. Raanan Gissin, a former senior aide to Sharon, said: "It's a very sad moment for people in Israel because Ariel Sharon was an icon in Israel."
Sharon was widowed twice. His first wife Margalit, with whom he had a son, Gur, died in a car accident in 1962, and Gur died in 1967 after a friend accidentally shot him with a rifle.
After Margalit's death, Sharon wed her younger sister Lily, and they had two sons, Omri and Gilad. Lily died in 2000.
