Yitzhak Shamir: An honest liar, one we can be proud of

Shamir was a leader of the Stern gang and of Lehi, responsible for terrorist attacks which killed many civilians, including Jews.

"had intended the peace negotiations to go on endlessly, while he meanwhile went on building the settlements that made peace impossible. " and this "brings honour to the Jewish people" ?

he was a terrorist who should have been hanged by the British. A pity that he wasnt.

Proud of the assassination of Folke Bernadotte ? Proud of the Deir Yassin massacre?

The dead from the King David Hotel will have something to say about him resting in peace.

Yitzhak Shamir was first and foremost a terrorist. As a member of the Stern Gang he embraced terrorism. On his order two UN representatives, Count Fokle Bernadotte and Lord Moyne, were assssinated. These were acts of terror that should have scarred the new state of Israel. Yitzhak Shamir has no right to rest in peace. Shame on him and shame on those who supported him and who revere his memory..

I met Yitzhak Shamir during a 1984 trip to Israel. At that time I knew little about the genial man who sat opposite me at a table in a government building, but I have since learned more about him. Shamir was one of the giants. I note that the Sunday Telegraph (London) describes him in a headline as "former terrorist." I guess it all depends on how you define a terrorist; the Irgun was fighting a battle against the pro-Arab British during the Mandate years, and the British defined the Irgun, not the Arabs who were killing Jews as they worked on farms and in towns, as terrorists. Bombing the King David Hotel bar certainly caught the attention, finally, of the British. Was this the act of terrorists? The same Britain that weeps black ink when one Palestinian delinquent is injured or killed by Israeli police or the IDF but not when rockets are fired into Israel from Gaza toward schools and hospitals calls a man who devoted his whole life, and took enormous personal risks, for Israel a "terrorist" in an obituary article. One man like Yitzhak Shamir is worth more than the entire British army, in my opinion, and history has proved it.

?where did He go whine the British could not find Him ?
