Ariel Sharon (Hebrew: אריאל שרון, also known by his diminutive Arik, אַריק, born Ariel Scheinermann, אריאל שיינרמן on 26 February 1928) is an Israeli statesman and retired general, who served as Israel’s 11th Prime Minister. He has been in a permanent vegetative state since suffering a stroke on 4 January 2006.
Sharon was a commander in the Israeli Army since its inception in 1948. As a paratrooper and then officer he participated prominently in the 1948 War of Independence, becoming platoon commander of the Alexandroni Brigade and taking part in many battles, including Operation Ben Nun Alef. He was an instrumental figure in the creation of Unit 101, the Retribution operations, the 1956 Suez War, the Six-Day War of 1967, the War of Attrition and the Yom-Kippur War of 1973. As Minister of Defense, he directed the 1982 Lebanon War. During his military career, he was considered the greatest Field Commander in Israel's history, and one of the country's greatest ever military strategists. After his assault of the Sinai in the Six-Day War and his encirclement of the Egyptian Third Army in the Yom Kippur War, the Israeli public nicknamed him "The King of Israel" and "The Lion of God".
Exercise your right to return.
Dwell this land rightfully ours.
Build a wall and push them out forever.
Bulldoze all the people's homes, in the name of
security.
We'll reclaim our ancient land, bestowed upon us by God
himself!
A land without a people, for a people without a land.
A land full of people, for a people out of hand.
Exercise your chance to remain.
Dwell this land rightfully ours.
Build a wall and push us out forever.
Where do we go now? Where do we go now?
Endless negotiations and territorial disputes. Without
your Big Brother, who would have the upper hand?
A land without a people, for a people without a land.
A land full of people, for a people out of hand.
