Russian immigrants in Israel

Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister General Rabin (1922 ~ 1995) advocates peace. Born in Jerusalem, Palestine under British rule. Both parents are Russian immigrants and fanatical Zionists. When he was young, he was determined to save the country by agriculture. After graduating from an agricultural middle school in Tel Aviv, he went to the University of California, Berkeley to study, focusing on irrigation engineering.

After the outbreak of World War II, he gave up his original ideal and joined the military organization against the Axis Powers. After the war, he helped release illegal Palestinian Jewish immigrants and was placed under house arrest by the British army for six months in 1946. His long military career has tempered his military talents.

1964, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces. 1967, he personally commanded the "Sixth Five-Year War", defeated the allied forces of Jordan, Egypt and Syria, and brought the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and the Golan Heights in Syria under Israeli rule. However, his brilliant "record" did not bring peace, but was unanimously condemned by the international community. The United Nations adopted resolution 242, demanding that Israel withdraw from the occupied Arab territories. 1968, Rabin retired from politics after serving in the army for 26 years. Initially served as ambassador to the United States. From 1974 to 1977, he was the only Israeli prime minister born and raised. His government collapsed because of the scandal that his wife held an illegal bank account, but he still has considerable power in the Labour Party.

1984, Israel established a Coalition government, and he served as the Minister of National Defense. As a military leader, Rabin realized from historical reality that peace is the historical trend, and Israel can only survive and develop if it conforms to the historical trend. 1992, 70-year-old Rabin made a comeback, defeating Chamir, the leader of the right-wing Likud Group, and became prime minister again. The end of the cold war has brought hope for peace in the Middle East. Shortly after Rabin became prime minister, he launched a peace offensive against Arab countries, saying that he would first accept the principle of "land for peace" put forward by Palestinians and UN resolutions 242 and 338.

According to the agreement, the jurisdiction of the Palestinian National Authority will be extended to 27% of the West Bank, thus signing peace treaties between Israel and Palestine, Israel and Jordan, bringing the dawn of peace to the Middle East and being praised by the international community. Rabin and Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize together. However, Israel's ultra-right forces opposed peace with Palestine and called Rabin an "apostate" and "traitor". 1995165438+1On October 4th, Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist at the King's Square in Tel Aviv at the age of 75.

Although Rabin's death will bring some influence to Middle East peace, the historical trend of the world towards peace is irreversible, and the road to peace in the Middle East initiated by Rabin and others is unstoppable.
