Begin was a terrorist, not a war hero. He didn't mind killing Jews in his terrorist acts. Most of the Americans killed in the 2 world wars died because Zionists promoted the wars in their quest to take over Palestine.
Who is Neopolitan?
Astonishing, isn't it, that such a tiny percentage of the world's total population has and is responsible for everything from Alzheimer's to Zyklon B. There probably isn't a single rotten thing anywhere in the world that isn't the result of Zionism.

In 1965, Begin merged his Herut Party with the Liberals to form Gahal, which later served as the foundation of the Likud Party. The crisis atmosphere in 1967 saw the establishment of a National Unity Government, which finally brought Begin and other Gahal leaders to the Cabinet table. The National Unity Government continued until 1970, when Begin insisted that Israel condition Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's extension of the cease-fire across the Suez Canal on the signing of a peace treaty recognizing Israel.
In 1977, Begin was elected Prime Minister of Israel. As the new head of state, he helped initiate the peace process with Egypt, which resulted in the Camp David Accords and the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.

In 1982, after repeated acts of PLO terror, Israel launched Operation Peace for Galilee to remove the terrorist threat from Israel's northern border.
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.
Following the death of his wife, Aliza, in the winter of 1982, Begin resigned as Prime Minister. He spent the rest of his life in seclusion, glimpsed in public only at memorials for his wife or at the weddings of his grandchildren.

So, tell us, o brainless one, as mass killers go, how does Menachem Begin stack up against such stellar characters as Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Adolph Hitler?
