Ze'ev Jabotinsky
Leaders of Secular Zionism

Labeled as "the right winger” of the Zionist movement, Jabotinsky was an advocate of strong Jewish self-defense, a position he put into practice in the 1920’s when the Arabs went on a rampage of rioting. This landed him on the outs with the established Zionist leaders, so he founded his own break-off movement. A genius caught in discordant times, his contribution to Israeli history cannot be denied.
