...hurt him among voters who might consider that his personal foreign policy, however motivated, had backfired. The Soviets leave no doubt about their sentiments toward Jackson.

A Zionist and socialist during his youth in Russia, Shazar emigrated in 1924 to Palestine, where he edited the labor movement newspaper Davar. Poet, historian and compelling orator, he helped write Israel's declaration of independence in 1948 and served as the new state's first Education Minister before assuming -as a "man without enemies," in Premier David Ben-Gurion's phrase-the primarily ceremonial presidency.
