Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to investigate how the value of the unity of the homeland (Israel) and the value of the unity of the people (Jewish Nation) in the writings and policy of Yitzhak Shamir as a warrior and commander in Lehi, as a Knesset member, Foreign Minister and Prime Minister. The realization of two goals which are to a certain extent fundamentally opposed may generate pressure for the decisionmaker concerning the national priorities defining the dominant goal which subordinates other considerations to its achievement. Indeed, he claimed it was not possible to maintain the integrity of the Jewish People without the integrity of the Homeland, or the integrity of the Homeland without the integrity of the Jewish People. show
