Yitzhak Shamir: a most unusual obituary in the Economist

Many reacted with alarm at this lousy obituary in the Economist.  It glossed over many of his crimes, before the establishment of the usurping entity and after.  "The whole land included the West Bank, Judea and Samaria to him; it could also have enfolded Sinai, as far as he was concerned, until the Camp David accords of 1979 with Egypt limply gave that away."  The article did not know that Shamir did not even vote for the accords in the Knesset.   ِAnd no one even in Israel would describe him as "warm":  "His life was private, austere, honest; his persona straight-thinking and straight-shooting, wary, and on occasion warm. He worked in an office that was almost bare, except for the Israeli flag."  (thanks Raed)
