Israelis from all walks of life have been mourning the death of iconic general and former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who died Saturday at the age of 85, eight years after he was rendered comatose by a massive stroke.
“Arik was a man of the land,” President Shimon Peres said in his eulogy. “He defended this land like a lion and he taught its children to swing a scythe. He was a military legend in his lifetime and then turned his gaze to the day Israel would dwell in safety, when our children would return to our borders and peace would grace the Promised Land.”
As politicians and ordinary Israelis reflect on his life, Sharon is remembered both as a strong military man and as a kind-hearted family figure.
