Yitzhak Shamir dies. MEI: 'Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir has died at age 96.' Read the post to find out what happened to a certain Yitzhak Yzernitzky. Netanyahu recalled a controversial statement of Shamir's and observed, "more people today realize that the man saw fundamental truths and did not sway with the changing trends." Peres said, "He had courage, and he lived as a patriot, weather you agreed with him or not." The BBC has more - but curiously makes no mention of the mysterious Mr. Yzernitzky.
