    Yitzhak Shamir deceased and mourned...


    Shamir, who emigrated from Poland 13 years before Israel's independence, belonged to the generation of Israelis who went on to lead the nation they had helped to create. But unlike some others from that era, the diminutive Shamir held fast to his hard-line views after climbing the Israeli political ladder to become prime minister for four terms during the 1980s and early 1990s.

    His pugnacious attitude toward Arabs often put him at odds with U.S. officials, who saw him as an impediment to reconciliation with the Palestinians.

    Shamir only grudgingly took part in a pivotal 1991 peace conference in Madrid that opened the way for talks with the Palestinians and led to a peace treaty with Jordan.

    His tough-nosed views made him a darling of Jewish settlers and kept him atop the right-wing Likud Party for a decade after Menachem Begin, the former prime minister, stepped aside in 1983.

    To the end of his life, Shamir never wavered in his defense of Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip even though other hawkish Israeli leaders, such as Ariel Sharon, came to conclude that Israel was better off letting go of some areas. Shamir, whose parents and sisters died during the Holocaust, saw all the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as a Jewish birthright.

    "The settlement of the Land of Israel is the essence of Zionism," Shamir said in 1997, after his retirement from public life. "Without settlement, we will not fulfill Zionism. It's that simple."

    Born Itzhak Yezernitksy on Oct. 15, 1915, in present-day Belarus, Shamir was a 20-year-old university student when he arrived in what was then British-governed Palestine. Working variously as a construction worker and clerk, Shamir joined an underground movement of a hard-line school of Zionists known by its Hebrew acronym, Etzel.

    When the group split in 1940, Shamir went with the more militant Lehi branch, which battled Arabs and launched attacks against the British military. The group, also known as the Stern Gang, drew inspiration from the Irish Republican Army. Shamir's nom de guerre was "Michael," after Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins.

    Shamir was a leader of the band at a time when its operations included the 1944 assassination of Lord Moyne, the British minister in Palestine, and the 1948 killing of Count Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish nobleman who served as the United Nations' representative in the region. Shamir's role was never definitively established.

    Shamir was arrested twice by the British but escaped both times. Lehi disbanded after Israel achieved statehood.

    During the 1950s, Shamir joined the Mossad spy agency, heading a team in Europe. He later moved into politics, joining the Herut Party under Begin. He won a seat in the Israeli parliament in 1973 as a member of Likud, which had merged Herut and smaller rightist groups.

    Likud upended Israeli politics in 1977 when it defeated the long-dominant Labor Party, thrusting Begin into the prime minister's slot. Shamir became speaker of the parliament, or Knesset. Six years later, he inherited Likud, and the prime minister's job, when Begin abruptly quit a year after the invasion of Lebanon.

    But a slew of economic troubles, including triple-digit inflation, took a toll on Shamir's standing, and he was forced to spend the rest of the decade in a coalition with the left-leaning Labor in order to keep power. He and Peres agreed to share the post for a term by taking turns as premier for two years each beginning in 1984.

    Shamir opposed rapprochement with Israel's Arab neighbors and responded forcefully when the first Palestinian intifada erupted in 1987. Addressing settlers from atop a West Bank castle at the time, he vowed that "anybody who wants to damage this fortress and other fortresses we are establishing will have his head smashed against the boulders and walls."

    His backing for the settlements and refusal to negotiate with the Palestinians put him at odds with the administration of President George H.W. Bush, which was promoting a peace process after the Palestine Liberation Organization recognized Israel's right to exist in 1988. May his soul rest in Peace.

    Patriot, fighter, and uncompromising Zionist: Yitzhak Shamir dies at 96
    Israel mourns death of its seventh prime minister who died Saturday • A former member of the Jewish underground and Mossad, Shamir became one of the longest-serving premiers, widely credited for keeping Israel out of the 1991 Gulf War.

    Israel's Shamir to lie in state before burial
    (AFP) – 7 hours ago
    JERUSALEM — The body of Israel's former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, who died on Saturday aged 96, will lie in state at the country's parliament before his burial on Monday, a Knesset spokesman said on Sunday.

    "The coffin will be put in the Knesset where the public can come to pay final tribute before his burial," parliamentary spokesman Yotam Yakir told AFP.

    Ministers gathered for Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting stood in silence for one minute in tribute to the late leader who, like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was a member of the right-wing Likud party.

    Netanyahu's office said that Shamir's coffin would be on view at the Knesset from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (0700-1300 GMT) on Monday, before being interred at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl cemetery, where Israel's leading political and military figures are laid to rest.

    A fighter in a far-right pre-state underground militia, Shamir was an agent of the Mossad spy agency before becoming Israel's prime minister from 1983 to 1984 and then from 1986 to 1992, also serving terms as speaker of the Knesset and foreign minister.

    He retired from political life in 1996 and in his later years suffered from Alzheimer's disease, living in a retirement home north of Tel Aviv until his death.

    Tributes from Israeli leaders and from around the world poured in after his death, and on Sunday Israeli media offered their own commemorations of the former leader.

    They hailed him as an "iron man," a stubborn backer of the notion of "greater Israel," who opposed even the slightest territorial concessions to the Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza or east Jerusalem.

    And commentators said he had displayed pragmatism, pointing to his oft-cited decision to refrain from responding militarily to the dozens of Scud missiles fired at Israel by Iraq during the first Gulf War in 1991.

    But Shamir's defence minister at the time, Moshe Arens, revealed on Sunday for the first time that the Israeli leader had planned a counter-attack on Iraq but was prevented at the last minute when Washington declared a ceasefire.

    "At the beginning of the war we couldn't launch an attack without coordination with the Americans, but with the continued missile fire, Yitzhak Shamir sent me to Washington to announce that we would take action," Arens told public radio.

    "But it was exactly at that moment that the American president

    Shamir; a spy and a terrorist assassin. I'm not surprised a Zionist would worship the loathsome bastard.

    Yes, he can be compared to another spy, Harold Wilson but it's not that widely known how much damage he did during his Downing Street tenure.

    MOURN ? huh - may the worms + maggots consume that piece of $hit - slowwwly.

    btw - what's happening to that other FAT Joo POO ( arik) - is he still as FAT + arrogant , as he once was now in his cabbage like state ? I guess NOT .

    For Sharon to be described as "alive" is somewhat like keeping Lenin's reconstructed remains on a heart-lung machine and saying that he is in "stable" condition.

    No worm or maggots gonna get me , my remains will be cremated , + I''l hopefully join the nicest people in Hell. LOL

    Let's NOT forget that this Jew was also a Nazi collaborator.

    "IRONICALLY, the shocking truth is that it has been proven that the Jewish Stern gang received funding and arms from the Italian Fascists to resist the British Mandate in Palestine. In fact, the Stern gang's collaboration with the Fascists and Nazis was going on while their Jewish brothers were being persecuted in Nazi concentration camps. It should also be noted that when the Americans, British, and their Arab allies were busy blocking the Desert Fox's (Erwin Rommel) advances in north Africa, the Stern gang's leader Yitzhak Shamir and the Irgun gang's leader Menachem Begin were busy ambushing British soldiers, blowing up the vital Haifa-Cairo railroad supply line, and terrorizing British and Palestinian civilians (Righteous Victims, p. 174). And when Yitzhak Shamir, Israel's future Prime Minister in the 1980s, was asked to explain their collaboration with the Fascists, he replied:
    "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." (One Palestine Complete , p. 464).



    Shamir was no hero - he was nothing more than a vile pile of $hit. Good Riddance . FACT .

    Perhaps better described as " the true palladin" of the dog's excretions. The man was a $hit .

    Btw - your use of the word "Crusade " to describe that Jew is fuking hilarious , considering what the Crusaders did to Jews.


    HAHAHAHAHAH . Bwaaaaaah .

    I'm glad that you honestly pointed out that Yitzhak Shamir represents the hatred of certain Semites, since that's true. The member of a terrorist organization was a real anti-Semite, honored and worshiped by racists, as demonstrated.

    Yitzhak Shamir will forever be remembered as a man who honored the hatred of Semites and represents such interests.

    Is the "We" term in this context used to describe all people who hate Semites, considering the anti-Semite language used to honor Yitzhak Shamir upon his death?

    First : Yitzhak Shamir.... no one could shine his shoes...
    Second : "Brave" Arab prisoner
    responsible for suicide attacks
    sentenced by Israel to 54 life sentences

    http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=7048


    by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik


    Yesterday Ibrahim Hamed who orchestrated suicide bombings in which more than 45 Israelis were murdered, was sentenced by Israel to 54 life sentences in prison.

    The Palestinian Authority views terrorists like Hamed who have orchestrated suicide bombings as heroes. Recently Palestinian Media Watch reported that PA TV twice broadcast a video dedicated to Hamed and other terrorists serving multiple life sentences for murders, calling them "brave prisoners" and flashing their pictures on the screen.

    Hamed, who planned and organized numerous suicide bombings including the ones at Hebrew University (9 killed), Cafe Moment (12 killed), and Cafe Hillel (7 killed), was among the terrorists specifically mentioned by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, when he publicly wished for their release. Speaking at a PA ceremony celebrating the release of Palestinian terrorist prisoners by Israel in exchange for Hamas-captured soldier Gilad Shalit, Abbas said:


    "We now see some of the most prominent among them [released] and the rest, Allah willing, will be [freed] soon, very soon. Allah willing, soon we will see here brother Marwan Barghouti, brother Ahmad Sa'adat, Ibrahim Hamed, and Abbas Al-Sayid."


    Abbas Al-Sayid who was also specified by Abbas is serving 35 life sentences for planning two suicide bombings including the Passover Seder bombing that murdered 30.

    The PLO's Ambassador to India, Adli Sadeq, has referred to Hamed as one of the "fighters who carried out quality operations."

    PMW has documented how the PA has a policy of glorifying terrorists as hero

    Two wrongs don't make one right. Not all Jews are innocent and not all Muslims are guilty, while your argument relies heavily on racist Semite-hostile generalizations. As such, your participation in this thread helps to demonstrate that Yitzhak Shamir symbolizes the racism of modern anti-Semitism.

    Food for worms + maggots , that why we cremate . (wink)

    Yid-sak was diagnosed with brain disease - in 1996 . IMO - He's had a diseased brain all adult life. He's spent his last years in a Tel-aviv nursing home , as a cabbage.

    Rabbis at Jews AgainstZionist say he was a son of a pimp , his father a ran a leather workshop as a front for a whorehouse in Poland.

    The sad fact remains that far too many innocent civilians are the victims who are simply ignored in political discusions here, by keyboard warriors .

    The middle east conflict is NOT a boxing match - where one or other being "beaten to a punch"
    Spare a thought for those caught in the middle , the women - children -elderly etc. killed or physically maimed to suffer the rest of their lives.

    He was - NOT religious - he was an evil political psychopath. Religion is a powerfull tool and Zionism hijacked the Jewish religion to further their evil plan to disposses non-Jewish Palestinians and steal their land.


    He + his gang made seral attempts to make deals with the German Nazis duing WW2 even knowing that the nazis was killing other innocent observent religious Jews. .


    Yid-sak ended up for the last 16 yrs , like a cabbage in a nursing home from a brain disease,

    The other swine , Sharon - real name Scheinermann, is also now in a comma like a cabbage for the last 6 yrs .

    I recall the only genuine anti-Semite I ever knew in Britain, an ex-soldier who taught us drill in a school I went to briefly. Shamir's merry chums had not only murdered his Hitler-hating best friend - they booby-trapped the body. Let's always remember which side those racist scum were on. I once knew someone who was in jail with their Maximalist founder, the one who admired Mussolini so. Colonel K speaks for me here.
