Of course, to the ruling elite of Israel (and their supporters) Sharon is and has always been a Hero. To the US ruling elite this image is only complicated by the degree of anti-semitism in any given member. Personally, I don't think religion has so much to do with what's going on in the Middle East - except as an elaborate form of team colours. Of course there are religious zealots of one kind or another - but most of the conflict comes down to power and economics - for example, much of Israel's machinations regarding Golan has been to control the water that has its source there.
