Sharon loved the military. He writes in his autobiography that it was in the camaraderie of the army that he first experienced expressions of familial love that he had missed out on as a child. He grew up in Kfar Malal, a moshav, or collection of farms in which major equipment is jointly owned. His parents were so prickly that the family was ostracized on the moshav. Life was hard. Theirs was a three-room house made of mud and manure walls. Sharon's response was to focus on work. "You could lose yourself in it," he wrote...
...This was his message to America and, ostensibly, to Israel. But Arafat, to his own followers, proclaimed “into Jerusalem we shall go as millions of martyrs as need be.” On Feb. 6, a Hamas gunman shot and killed three Israelis at Moshav Hamra. Palestinian radio (controlled by Arafat’s government) proclaimed the shooter a “hero.” And Arafat himself told his followers, “we will make the lives of the infidels hell,” a clear reference to Israelis. One of Arafat?...
Barely a mile from Yamit, at the cooperative farm of Moshav Sadot, the Sinai's sandy hinterland has been transformed into a verdant cornucopia. Tomato, eggplant and pepper plants, mango and lichee nut trees are nourished in long rows by painstaking drip irrigation.

But even that will not console all of them. Says Ella Weizman, 31, who sits tensely with her husband Vito...
...clump of bushes beside a road 500 yards from the border, the guerrillas allowed a military patrol to pass. Then came a target more to their taste−a bright yellow school bus on its customary morning run, packed with five-to-eight-year-olds from a moshav, or cooperative farm, called Avivim. When the bus slowed for a turn in the road, the Arabs attacked...
Dayan is as much a sabra as an Israeli can be. He was born on May 20, 1915, in the first Jewish kibbutz established in Palestine. When he was seven, his Russian migr parents moved the family to a moshav, a cooperative farm where, unlike a kibbutz, the members own their land. Moshe liked both farming and books, but he soon found himself learning the arts of war as well. The British sent him to prison in 1939 for belonging to a unit of the Haganah, the Jewish underground...
