We’ve been quite harsh on Jews who are claiming to see in Israel’s tragedy and PM Sharon’s grief some sign of divine mandate, as have some other bloggers. You should know that those lunatics are not representative of even the Israel far-right:
Avi Farhan, who was evacuated from the Elei Sinai settlement during the disengagement last summer, has arrived at the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital to express his support in the prime minister’s family and wish Sharon a speedy recovery. “We all pray he will return to being the same Arik, the same bulldozer,” Farhan said. “We need to separate between the personal relation to Arik Sharon, and the pain we have experienced as a result of the pullout,” he said.

Quite right.
