Ditto, minus the unnecessary last line. Also, Montag, he is still a basically decent man who has sacrificed most of his life for the safety and security of Israel and her citizens. While I strongly disagree and disapprove of his extreme appeasement of terrorists and giving away a portion of the Land, he did many good things in the past. If you're going to judge him (which is a job for no human being), then at least look at the whole picture.
Amen to that. He also was one of the most brilliant military tacticians in history, who's tank heroics in the 1973 war are studied at the U.S. Army War College to this very day.
But Barak and Rabin also sacrificed much of their lives to defending Israel...ONLY to abandon it at its most critical hours. Oslo was a disgraceful betrayal. Barak was willing to give the Arabs half of Jersualem--which even Rabin would never even consider (thank goodness Arafat said no). This from the same Barak who led a daring mission and kept nukes out of Iraqi hands. But he ended up a schmuck who stabbed Israel in the back and even convincved Clinton to pardon Marc Rich! Vile! As Vito Corleone said "This I will NOT forgive". I feel the same way about Sharon's action with regard to Gaza, and Bibi's actions with regard to Hebron. Sharon did far less to harm Israel than did Rabin. But he had failed as a leader. I wish him well, but Israel needs a man who can say "NO" to the world which hates Jews, and looks the other way at Muslim aggression.
