He is currently in a permanent vegetative state after suffering a stroke on 4 January 2006. A commander in the Israeli Army since its inception in 1948, Sharon participated in the 1948 War of Independence, 1956 Suez War, Six-Day War of 1967, and the Yom-Kippur War of 1973. After retiring from the army, Sharon joined the right-wing Likud party, and served in a number of ministerial posts in Likud-led governments in 1977-1992 and 1996-1999. He became the leader of the Likud in 2000, and served as Israel's Prime Minister from 2001 to 2006. During his long military and political career, Sharon was considered a controversial and polarizing figure. In 1983 a commission established by the Israeli Government found that as Minister of Defense during the 1982 Lebanon War Sharon bore personal, but indirect, responsibility for the massacre by Lebanese militias of Palestinian civilians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. In 1970s, 1980s and 1990s Sharon championed construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. However, as Prime Minister, in 2004-2005 Sharon orchestrated Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip. Facing stiff opposition to this policy within the Likud, in November 2005 he left Likud to form a new Kadima party.

Before independence, he was the leader of the Zionist militant Irgun, the Revisionist breakaway from the larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. He proclaimed a revolt, on February 1, 1944, against the British mandatory government, which was opposed by the Jewish Agency. He played a significant role in Jewish resistance against the British control in the waning years of the mandate, leading the more militant faction within Zionism. Begin was elected to the first Knesset, as head of Herut, the party he founded, and was at first on the political fringe, embodying the opposition to the Mapai-led government and Israeli establishment. He remained in opposition in the eight consecutive elections (except for a national unity government around the Six-Day War), but became more acceptable to the political center. His 1977 electoral victory and premiership ended three decades of Labour Party political dominance. Begins most significant achievement as prime minister was the signing of a peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, for which he and Anwar Sadat shared the Nobel Prize for Peace.

November 1995 in Tel Aviv) war Generalstabschef der israelischen Streitkräfte sowie Verteidigungsminister und Ministerpräsident Israels. Über Jahre hinweg war Rabin einer der wichtigsten Entscheidungsträger Israels in außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Fragen. Das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten hatte er zweimal inne, erstmals von 1974 bis 1977 und nochmals von 1992 bis zu seiner Ermordung im Jahre 1995. 1994 erhielt Rabin gemeinsam mit seinem damaligen Außenminister Schimon Peres und dem damaligen Chef der palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde, Jassir Arafat, den Friedensnobelpreis. Jitzchaks Vater, Nehemia Rabin (ursprünglich: Rubitzow), geboren 1886 in der Ukraine, war 1905 in die USA ausgewandert. Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde er Volontär in der jüdischen Legion der britischen Armee und wurde in Ägypten und Palästina eingesetzt. Als arabische Aufstände ausbrachen, ging er nach Jerusalem, wo er seine zukünftige Frau Rosa Cohen (* 1890) kennenlernte. Das Paar heiratete 1921. Sie bekamen außer Jitzchak 1927 noch eine Tochter, der sie den Namen Rachel gaben. Jitzchak Rabins russischstämmige Mutter war unter dem Namen Rote Rosa bekannt. Sie war die erste Führerin der Hagana in Haifa, stand in der Hierarchie sogar über Golda Meïr und setzte sich für Frauenrechte ein. Sie starb, als Jitzchak 15 Jahre alt war.

Excerpt: The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 fighters from the Irgun and Lehi Zionist paramilitary groups attacked Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, a Palestinian-Arab village of roughly 600 people. The invasion occurred as Jewish militia sought to relieve the blockade of Jerusalem during the civil war that preceded the end of British rule in Palestine. Around 107 villagers (including Arab combatants) were killed. Some were shot, while others died when hand grenades were thrown into their homes. Several were taken prisoner and may have been killed after being paraded through the streets of West Jerusalem, though accounts vary. Four of the attackers died, with around 35 injured. The killings were condemned by the leadership of the Haganah, the Jewish community's main paramilitary force, and by the area's two chief rabbis. The Jewish Agency for Israel sent King Abdullah of Jordan a letter of apology, which he rebuffed. The massacre became a pivotal event in the Arab-Israeli conflict for its demographic and military consequences. The narrative was embellished and used by various parties to attack each otherby the Palestinians to besmirch Palestine's Jewish community, and later Israel; by the Haganah to play down their own role in the affair; and later by the Israeli Left to accuse t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18247176 ...

The great Begin
Menachem Begin was one of the greatest of all modern Jewish leaders. He was a disciple of Ze'ev Jabotinsky in pre-war Poland and already an important leader there. After he came to Eretz Yisrael he led the Irgun in its actions to remove British control over the Holy Land as step in establishing an independent Jewish state. He labored for long years as leader of the political opposition in Israel until in 1977 his Likud party became the first non- Labor head of a coalition in Israel.
When Begin first came to office he was decried by the Left in Israel and by the international media as a warmonger who would lead Israel to greater violence with its neighbors. He surprised everyone by appointing Moshe Dayan as his Foreign Minister and beginning a campaign for peace. He as Prime Minister thus led Israel to the signing of its first peace treaty with an Arab country, Egypt. For this he received the Nobel Prize.
Begin was a much beloved leader who made major efforts to help the poorer sections of the Israeli populace. He made the critical decision to bomb the Iraqi nuclear - reactor in Baghdad thus saving the world from the danger of a Saddam Hussein with nuclear weapons. In 1982 in an effort to prevent Palestinian terrorists under Yassar Arafat from continuing attacks on Israel he sent Israeli troops into Lebanon. This initially planned short operation was to become prolonged far beyond Begin's term of office. After the death of his beloved wife, and a worsening of his own health situation Begin resigned while still in office.
He is today considered by the people of Israel one of its most beloved leaders. He lived modestly was known for his Old - World gentlemanly good manners. He was a tremendously moving orator who in time would be longed for as a man of integrity even by many of his own former antagonists from the Left, such as Yossi Sarid.
Begin who lost his parents in the Shoah had a deep sense of Jewish history, a love for the Jewish people and a general humanity which made him seem to be on a higher level than most political leaders.
He fought for what he believed in, risked and sacrificed for it, set an example in courage and integrity of what a political leader should be.
May his Memory be blessed. ... Read more
