1. Some times decisions that may be less than perfect are made
Galut ,   Selah   (10.05.10)
War does not always permit fair and concise decisions that satisfy the critics..... arm chair Generals trying to second guess what took place in a war need to remain in thier chairs its a lot safer
2. Great father - great daughter
Dorothea Killus ,   South Germany   (10.05.10)
Thank you so much, Yael Dayan! It's amazing to see what you call "transparency" today, in your honourable Father and in yourself. Such an openness helps not only for more insight, but also for even more admiration. I read already your book, "My Father, His Daughter", with greatest interest. Shalom to you in all respects!
3. Dayan
observer   (10.06.10)
Dayan's second wife Rachel sold his collected antiquities in 1986 to the Israel Museum for $1 million. The sale was widely criticized because many of the items were obtained illegally. It was approving the robbery of antiquities. he used those under his command to collect artifacts to fulfill his bond to the bible. The Israeli establishment turned a blind eye to his activities, and archaeologists feared confronting him publicly. Dayan was directly responsible for the demolition Mash'had Nabi Hussein in Ashkelon, in 1950. Why was Sharon allowed to keep his farm on formerly Palestinian land ? Why was Ben Gurion allowed to become a Kibbutznik at an advanced age?
4. #3 What you fail to mention, observer....
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.06.10)
....to mislead us ...is that Moshe Dayan (z.l) returned those artefacts to Egypt. eg to Sarabit-el-Khadem in Sinai. ''Why was Ben Gurion allowed to become a Kibbutznik at an advanced age?'' > Are you feeling alright?
