Commemoration time again.
Yep, it's been 45 years since the beginning of Israel's most victorious war.

It began exactly 45 years ago, but when did it end, give or take?

God Bless Eli Cohen, perhaps one of the ballsiest spies in the history of modern espionage.

Meh, must be an arab.. looks like one.

I especially like the story about him touring the Syrian Army sites in The Golan and then writing a scathing report on how the soldiers were suffering suggesting that the army plants trees at the artillery sites to give the soldiers some shade from the sun.

So at the start of the war the Israelis bombed all small tree groves on the golan.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Arab-born Jew.

*This* close to becoming the Syrian Deputy Minister of Defense.  Amazing.

Some of the best spies have photographic memory.  So did the other Greatest Jew That Ever Lived, Moe Berg.
