> Many will say it's an act of God because he removed the settlers from Gaza breitbart.com >>US evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for "dividing God's land" of Israel, igniting his latest trademark controversy. As the Israeli prime minister battled for life, Robertson seemed to suggest to viewers on his "700 Club" television show that Sharon was being punished for his policies in Gaza and the West Bank. Robertson also appeared to suggest former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, murdered in 1995, had also paid the ultimate price for talking peace. <<

> it saved someone having to assassinate him. Come to think about it, Arafat also had a brain hemorrhage. news.bbc.co.uk >>Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is suffering from a brain haemorrhage, a senior aide in the West Bank has said. Mr Arafat started bleeding on Monday evening and was now in a critical condition in a Paris hospital, Tayeb Abdel Rahim told reporters in Ramallah. There has been much confusion about Mr Arafat's condition. Last week Israeli television reported that he was dead. Other reports, rejected by Mrs Arafat, have suggested he is brain dead. << cnn.com >>Sharon was rushed to the hospital Wednesday, where doctors determined that he had suffered a type of stroke called a cerebral hemorrhage. A cerebral hemorrhage happens when small blood vessels bleed in the brain and cause a blood clot. This causes pressure on the brain, eventually killing normal brain cells, which can cause permanent disability or death. Doctors operated on Sharon for more than six hours, then returned him to the operating room for three more hours of surgery when a brain scan continued to show bleeding in his brain. It was Sharon's second brain attack in less than three weeks. After the first, he was put on blood-thinning medications which may have contributed to the hemorrhage.<< web.israelinsider.com >>"Israel Resource News Agency confirms that at about noon today, Israel time, doctors at Hadassah Hospital and security officials at the Israel Ministry of Defence in Tel Aviv were simultaneously informed that Prime Minister Sharon had died during surgery. Israel Resource News Agency has again spoken with officials from both Hadassah and the Israel Ministry of Defence who were officially informed at noon of Sharon's death. That begs the question: why does the government of Israel deny reports of Sharon's death? << Now where are our conspiracy theorists?
