4.0 out of 5 stars
The doves vs. the hawks,
By Mr Bassil A MARDELLI "Antoun" (Riad El-SOLH , Beirut Lebanon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moshe Sharett: Biography of a Political Moderate (Hardcover)
How much would the Middle East have changed if Moshe Sharett remained Israel's prime minister longer than two years, 1954-55? The `hawks' in his Cabinet remained loyal to Ben-Gurion bypassing Sharett's recommendations. He was an Israel's Minister of Foreign affair and one of his achievements was the 1949 armistice. Sharett was fluent in Arabic. His command of the language supported his capacity for eloquence in speeches that `the clarity of insight possessed by Jews and Arabs intellect, will relieve them of the hardships of futile wars in an area not prepared for it. Sharett was a moderate and staunch supporter of negotiations and dialogue with the Arabs, no matter what. When he realized the `firm fist' approach adopted by Ben-Gurion, Sharett confided to his wife: `I can foresee lots of bloodshed, what price victory when so many people will die in the fight.' |
