“…[Ben-Gurion] fought a war before he had an army; he was a statesman before he had a state…”
-- Shimon Peres --
Golda Meir
The wise and gutsy Golda was once deemed by Ben Gurion as “the only man in the [Israeli] cabinet.”

Moshe Dayan once said, “We have returned to the holiest of our Holy Places, never to part from it again. Amen.

Yitzhak Rabin
Rabin made the ultimate sacrifice. He died to bring peace to the next generation.
Ariel Sharon
Sharon is a great leader and a brave man. It’s a heart break that he is sick.
Shimon Peres
Shimon Peres was responsible for Israel’s nuclear capability. For that he must be eternally thanked.
Menachem Begin
From 1948 to 1977, Menachem Begin was the leader of Israel's opposition. In the 1950's, he led the movement against accepting German reparations for the Nazi Holocaust.
In 1981, Begin ordered the Israeli Air Force to bomb the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq, where the Iraqi regime was developing nuclear weapons. Though Israel was roundly condemned by the international community at the time, it became apparent during the 1991 Gulf War that Israel's action had succeeded in hampering Baghdad's drive to acquire nuclear weapons.
Begin's decision to encourage Ethiopian Jews to immigrate to Israel later culminated in Operation Moses, which brought thousands en masse to Israel in the early 1980's.
