A
team of Israhelli and USZ scientists say new tests on comatose former Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon show significant brain activity.
Ben-Gurion
University on Sunday said Sharon responded to external stimuli at Soroka Hospital
in Beersheba.
He
was shown pictures of his family and listened to recordings of his son’s voice
while undergoing a special brain imaging scan. The university said “significant
brain activity was observed ... indicating appropriate processing of these
stimulations.”
However,
Sharon remains in a deep coma.
Sharon,
84, led Israel from 2001 until suffering a stroke in 2006. Since then, he has
been in a vegetative state, connected to a respirator.
Sharon
was a military officer who fought in three wars before entering politics. He
unilaterally withdrew Israhelli troops and colonists from Gaza in 2005 as part
of a ‘disengagement’ plan, which did not however end the occupation of the
territory.
Reviled
in the Arab world as the ‘Butcher of Beirut’ for his brutal and barbaric role in
the massacre of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps
during Israhell’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982, Sharon was made to resign as
defence minister after being found to share responsibility in the massacre.
He
is also seen as responsible for triggering the Second Palestinian Intifada
(uprising) which saw thousands of Palestinians killed at the hands of Israhell.
His
son Gilad Sharon recently caused international controversy for suggesting that
Israhell should “flatten Gaza” during its assault on the territory last
November.
Gilad
claimed recently that he can communicate with his father by gestures and eye
movements, according to media reports.
