The Pioneers of Israel


When the Syrian tank entered the gates of Degania Alef, in the early morning hours of May 20, 1948, it was greeted with molotov cocktails: It hasn't moved since. Started by Russian immigrants who arrived in 1909, sitting on the southern end of the Sea of Galilee, it's the oldest Kibbutz in Israel. When Moshe Dyan was born there in 1915, they were still under Ottoman rule. He was named after the first defender killed, in 1913.

  1. Leaving that tank there sure is a powerful reminder of, both past and present, clear danger.

    THIS you might find interesting from the world of sports, Mr. Molovinsky :
