and retire from the knesset.

You went to school with his nephews in London, so?

I used to follow Mr. Yitzhak Shamir when he served as a prime minister of Israel and I had been amazed by his political beliefs which he implemented in his job. I had been taught by him, the real man never compromises his beliefs even if they cost him his position. I will miss you a lot but I will never forget you.

I hated his politics but always admired his great personal devotion and honesty. What a great contrast to some of our present politicians.The last laugh will be on Peres who will now say kind things about a man he loathed.

This Lord Moyne was a very candid antisemite. He said - as Colony Minister - that better to let 1 million hungarian jews to be murdered by nazis, than allowed to emmigrate to Palestine alive.

Requiescat In Pace. May he rest in peace in the glory of heavens after all the good work done for Israel. Soviet Jewry will never forget this great leader even though he was forced to pay the price of sitting alongside ersatz Palestinians.

Nice try babe, but this is not me.

to Historian Bernard Wasserstein Joel Brand Blood for trucks] almost certainly never met Moyne. And acording to Wasserstein Moyne was not antisemetic That the charge was Lehi propaganda. Read Moyne's speech in the House of Lords june 9th 1942. I think you will find he wanted a fair aproach to the Jews and Palastinians. Anyway even if you make the argument for his political assasination the killing of his chauffeur was murder.

pieces of our Holy Land to the enemy which the Torah (Bible) explicitly and in definite terms FORBIDS!!!

and the same.

What was so great about a man who sat with terrorists?

Can anyone tell me why Shamir is called a giant, a paragon of loyalty and his counterpart, Arafat a terrorist ? ,...

The Jewish Agency Executive convened and not only issued a fierce condemnation of the murder but called on the Yishuv to banish the evildoers from their midst. This was the official Histadrut announcement on the matter: "Jewish youth must fight terror and its perpetrators! [...] The perpetrators of terror, who call themselves the 'Irgun Zvai Le'umi' and 'Lohamei Herut Israel' are traitors! ... They must be removed from our classrooms, banished from our workshops! Their propaganda, whether written or spoken, must not be permitted... No refuge must be given to these malefactors in the homes of your parents, relatives and acquaintances! The incorrigible despoilers must be isolated and abandoned, until they are spewed out of the ranks of the Yishuv, until terror ceases and its organization is eradicated. Moyne's speech about recruitment of Jews into the British Army in the House of Lords on 9 June 1942: " The Government have already explained what has been done to arm the Jews for the legitimate purpose of self-defence, But, Moyne's view that Arabs should be subjugated by force to a Jewish régime is inconsistent with the Atlantic Charter was the motive to charge him with anti-semitism. Of racial purity, historian Wasserstein wrote "In fact, Moyne's speech, when placed in the context of his known views on matters of race can be shown to contradict this interpretation totally. Brand: Moyne allegedly said:"What can I do with a million Jews? Where can I put them?". But, Brand almost certainly never met Moyne. Moreover Brand himself said: "afterwards heard that the man with whom I spoke was not, in fact, Lord Moyne, but another British statesman." Shamir never went to trial regarding Bernadotte because the assassination happened On 17 September 1948.

Yitzchak Shamir was a great statesman, a shining example to the younger generation, and that rarest and most precious of things: a tough Jew. The Almighty rewarded him with long life, like his comrades Benzion Netanyahu and Shmuel Katz..

Are you talking about Ariel (Eric) Sharon?

why didnt his daughter take care of her father instead of shoving him into a nursing home?

His medical condition required 24 hour nursing care which nursing homes provide. Now slither away like a good troll.
