Ze\'ev Jabotinsky MBE (Hebrew: זאבז\'בוטינסקי‎; Ukrainian: Володи́мир (Зеєв) born Vladimir YevgenyevichZhabotinsky (Russian: Влади́мир Евге́ньевич Жаботи́нский) (18 October 1880 – 4 August 1940), was a RevisionistZionist (nationalist) leader, author, orator, soldier, and founder of theJewish Self-Defense Organization in Odessa. Along with Joseph Trumpeldor he wasthe founder of the Jewish Legion of the British army in World War I as well asnumber of Jewish organizations such as Irgun, Beitar, Hatzohar. Ze\'evJabotinsky\'s legacy is carried on today by Israel\'s Herut party (merged withother right wing parties to form the Likud in 1973), Herut – The NationalMovement (a breakaway from Likud), Magshimey Herut (young adult activistmovement) and Betar (youth movement). In the United States, his call for Jewishself-defense has led to the formation of Americans for a Safe Israel and the JewishDefense Organization. The JDO\'s training camp is named Camp Jabotinsky. InIsrael, there are more streets, parks and squares named after Jabotinsky thanany other figure in Jewish or Israeli history. The Jabotinsky Medal is awardedfor distinguished service to the State of Israel, and most Israeli cities havestreets named after him. On 11 August 2008, left wing Israeli EducationMinister Yuli Tamir announced plans to remove Jabotinsky\'s name from a list ofterms students are required to learn, creating an uproar. The BetarMovement (בית\"ר, also spelled Beitar)is a Revisionist Zionist youth movement founded in 1923 in Riga, Latvia, byVladimir (Ze\'ev) Jabotinsky. Betar has been traditionally linked to theoriginal Herut and then Likud political parties of Israel, and was closelyaffiliated with the pre-Israel Revisionist Zionist splinter group Irgun ZevaiLeumi. It was one of many right-wing movements and youth groups arising at thattime that adopted salutes and uniforms. Some of the most prominent politiciansof Israel were Betarim in their youth, most notably Prime Ministers YitzhakShamir and Menachem Begin, an admirer of Jabotinsky.Today, Betar promotesJewish leadership on University campuses as well as in local communities. Itshistory of empowering Jewish youth dates back to before the State of Israel.Throughout World War II, Betar was a major source of recruits for both theJewish regiments that fought the Nazis alongside the British and the Jewishforces that waged an ongoing guerrilla war against the British in Palestine.Across Europe, Betar militia played major roles in independently resisting Naziforces and other various assaults on Jewish communities. The Irgun (Hebrew: אִרְגּוּן; full title: הַלְּאֻמִּי בְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל Ha-Irgun Ha-Tzvai Ha-Leumibe-Eretz Yisrael, lit. \"The National Military Organization in the Landof Israel\"), was a Zionist paramilitary group that operated in MandatePalestine between 1931 and 1948. It was an offshoot of the earlier and largerJewish paramilitary organization Haganah (Hebrew: \"Defense\", הגנה). When the group broke from the Haganah itbecame known as the Haganah Bet (Hebrew: literally \"Defense \'B\'\" or \"Second Defense\", הגנה ב),or alternatively as haHaganah haLeumit (ההגנה הלאומית)or Ha\'ma\'amad (המעמד‎).Irgun members were absorbed into the Israel Defense Forces at the start of the1948 Arab–Israeli war. The Irgun is also referred to as Etzel (אצ\"ל), an acronym of the Hebrew initials, or bythe abbreviation IZL. The Irgun policy was based on what was then calledRevisionist Zionism founded by Ze\'ev Jabotinsky. According to Howard Sachar,\"The policy of the new organization was based squarely on Jabotinsky\'steachings: every Jew had the right to enter Palestine; only active retaliationwould deter the Arabs; only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewishstate\"Two of the operations for which the Irgun is best known are thebombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946 and the DeirYassin massacre, carried out together with Lehi on 9 April 1948.The Irgun hasbeen viewed as a terrorist organization or organization which carried outterrorist acts. In particular the Irgun was branded a terrorist organisation byBritain, the 1946 Zionist Congress and the Jewish AgencyThe Irgun was apolitical predecessor to Israel\'s right-wing Herut (or\"Freedom\") party, which led to today\'s Likud party. Likud has led orbeen part of most Israeli governments since 1977. Joseph Trumpeldor (November21, 1880 – March 1, 1920, Hebrew: יוסף טרוּמְפֶּלְדּוֹר‎, Russian: Иосиф Трумпельдор),was an early Zionist activist. He helped organize the Zion Mule Corps and bringJewish immigrants to Palestine. Trumpeldor died defending the settlement of TelHai in 1920 and subsequently became a Zionist national hero. According to astandard account, to him are attributed the last words, reminiscent of Horace:\"It does not matter, it is good to die for our country.\" Upon hisreturn to Petrograd, Russia in 1918, he organised Jews to defend themselves andestablished the HeHalutz, a youth organization that prepared immigrantsfor aliyah, and returned to the British Mandate of Palestine himself. Battleof Tel HaiOn 1 March 1920, several hundred Shiites,from the village of Jabal Amil in southern Lebanon, gathered at the gate of TelHai, one of four Jewish farming villages in an isolated bloc at the northernend of the Upper Galilee\'s Hulah Valley. Gangs (\'isabat) of clan-basedborder peasants, combining politics and banditry, were active in the area ofthe loosely defined border between the soon to be established British Mandateof Palestine, French Mandate of Lebanon and of Syria. The Shiites believed thatsome French troops had taken refuge with the Jews and demanded to search thepremises. The Jews generally tried to maintain neutrality in the chaos,occasionally sheltering both Arabs and French. On this day there were no Frenchsoldiers, and the Jews assented to a search. One of the farmers fired a shotinto the air, a signal for reinforcements from nearby Kfar Giladi, whichbrought ten men led by Trumpeldor, who had been posted by Hashomer to organizedefense It is unclear exactly whathappened once Trumpeldor assumed command, but an early report speaks of\'misunderstanding on both sides\'. Ultimately, a major firefight raged in whichseven Jews and five Arabs were killed outright; Trumpeldor was shot in the handand stomach, and died while being evacuated to Kfar Giladi that evening. Theeight Jews were buried in two common graves in Kfar Giladi, and both locationswere abandoned for a time. National hero After his death, Trumpeldorbecame a symbol of Jewish self-defence, and his memorial day on the 11th day ofAdar is officially noted in Israel every year. His last words, \"Nevermind, it is good to die for our country\" (En davar, tov lamut be\'adartzenu אין דבר, טוב למות בעד ארצנו),became famous in the pre-state Zionist movement and in Israel of the 1950s and1960s. According to Aviel Roshwald, despite the \"widespread\" beliefthat these famous last words are apocryphal, \"the irony is that theauthenticity of the official story about Trumpeldor\'s final utterance isactually well-attested and not disputed by historians.\"(Roshwald, Aviel,The Endurance of Nationalism; Ancient Roots and Modern Dilemmas, CambridgeUniversity Press. 2006, p.148) These words closely resemble a translationof Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, the famous line from the Romanlyrical poet Horace\'s Odes (iii 2.13), which can be rendered in Englishas \"It is sweet and honourable to die for one\'s country,\" or \"Itis sweet and fitting to die for the fatherland\" --- and which inspirednumerous nineteenth- and twentieth-century nationalist patriots in variouscountries. Legacy Both right-wing and left-wing Zionists regard JosephTrumpeldor as a hero. The Revisionist Zionist movement named its youth movement(and precursor to Likud) Betar, an acronym for \"Covenant of JosephTrumpeldor\", while the left-wing movements remember Trumpeldor as thedefender of the kibbutzim and have established memorials in his honour. In thesame year that he died, the Joseph Trumpeldor Battalion for defence and workwas founded, which established several kibbutzim. The town of Kiryat Shmona(\"City of Eight\") is named after Trumpeldor and the seven others whodied defending Tel Hai. Tel Hai (Hebrew: תֵּל חַי,meaning \"Hill of Life\" in Hebrew; Tal-ha in Arabic) is a name of aformer Jewish settlement in northern Israel, the site of an early battle in theArab–Israeli conflict, and of a noted monument, tourist attraction, and acollege. It is currently part of kibbutz Kfar Giladi. The Battle of Tel Hai on1 March 1920, which gave Tel Hai its long-enduring fame, was significant farbeyond the small number of fighters involved on either side - mainly due to itsinfluence on Israeli culture, both inspiring an enduring heroic story andprofoundly influencing the military of the Yishuv and political strategies overseveral decades. In retrospect, it can be regarded as the first militaryengagement between the New Yishuv (later to become Israel) and Arab rebels (ofwhat was to become Syria), though at the time itself combatants on either sidedid not regard it in such terms.
