Hevron Leader: Sharon Would Have Gone Further

My Comment: It was reported earlier today that only dozens attended the funeral at the cemetary. It was reported that the organizers asked employees to act like visitors so it would look like more attended. I think the leader mentioned in the article when he said “If settling the Land of Israel was so important to him, how could he destroy the towns he built in just a moment.’ sounded like Isaiah in 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

(Israel National News) Noam Arnon, a leader of the Hevron Jewish community, slammed the leaders of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria for attending Ariel Sharon’s funeral. Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Arnon said that the representatives of those who were dispossessed from their homes in Judea and Samaria had no business celebrating Sharon’s life, or mourning his death.

“We are not a part of the chorus praising him,” Arnon said. “We stand on the other side. He destroyed with his own hands the things that he built.”

Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Arnon said that Sharon’s final act – the disengagement – would only have been the beginning, had he not suffered the series of strokes that put him in a coma that lasted eight years. “He visited Hevron many times, but with all his merits, it’s clear that the disengagement marred everything that came before.

“If settling the Land of Israel was so important to him, how could he have destroyed the towns he built in just a moment? As Tzvi Hendel said, the more Sharon was investigated, the more he withdrew.”
