Uri Avneri
Uri Avnery (born September 10, 1923) is an Israeli journalist and disputed peace activist. He was a member of the Knesset from 1965 to 1973 and again from 1979 to 1981. Earlier he was a member of the Revisionist Zionist militant group Etzel and later the Stern Gang. In the 1948 Arab-Israeli War he was a fighter in the Samson Foxes jeep unit (and also wrote its anthem). After the war he wrote a book about the war, called "In the fields of the Philistines" בשדות פלשת".
During the 1950's and the 1960's he was the publisher and chief-editor of Haolam Hazeh weekly magazine - an anti-establishment tabloid known for many sensational scoops, as well as sleezy style and backpage porn.
He later turned to left wing activism and founded the Gush Shalom movement, which he leads up to this day.
