Dr. Shlomo Segev made the remarks in a program broadcast Saturday on Israeli television that coincided with the fifth anniversary of the massive stroke that incapacitated the ex-prime minister.

The 82-year-old Sharon is a former war hero who led Israel from 2001 until the 2006 stroke that left him comatose. Severe hemorrhaging caused significant brain damage and he has been in a vegetative state since.

Former Sharon spokesman Raanan Gissin told The AP there has been no change in Sharon’s condition.

Sharon was moved home in November, but Gissin said he has since been returned to the long-term care facility outside Tel Aviv for treatment.

What’s wrong with you numbers 1,3,5, ?
He destroyed the lives of over 12,000 Jews. He destroyed Gush Katif. After the forced withdrawl –the savages in gaza were emboldened and this started the last gaza war.Sharon will go down in jewish history as a traitor to the people and land.
Don’t you realize he lies in a vegetative state because the holy ground of Israel refuses to let him be buried in it. Let him be nisht aheen and nisht aher-the same position he put our brethern in.Better he should have gotten smitten b-4 the expulsion of jews form Gush Katif.
And i am not beven getting started on the millions of dollars of corruption he and his sons are charged with.
midah keneged midah !

He was a great general, and a lousy politician. The Useless Grant of EY, with one difference. The Lubavitcher Rebbe, who told him not to get on a plane (or delayed him – I don’t remember) that indeed crashed, also told him not to enter politics. Sadly, Sharon did not listen.

Every day they should bring another “survivor” of gush katif to pinch him hard, real hard, the low life traitor that sold out on his people. Meanwhile, he rots in bed.
