有生平简介之类的没有？
Moshe Dayan
(1915-1981)by Shira SchoenbergMoshe Dayan was an Israeli military warrior who became a crusader for peace. He was skilled in both battle and diplomacy. He played a key role in four wars, but also helped negotiate the historic Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty.</P>
Dayan was born on May 20, 1915, on kibbutz Deganya Alef, near Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) to parents Shemuel and Devorah. The kibbutz was founded in 1910 and called em hakvutzot - the mother of collective settlements.</P>
When he was only 14 years old, Dayan joined the Haganah, an underground organization that defended Jewish settlements from Arab attacks. In the Haganah, Dayan learned guerilla warfare from British Captain Charles Orde Wingate, who was a leader of night patrols organized to fight Arab rebel bands. During the riots of 1936-1939, he served with the special police force in the Jezreel Valley and Galilee. When the British outlawed the Haganah in 1939, Dayan was arrested and imprisoned for two years.</P>
Upon his release in 1941, Dayan joined the British army, where he served with the forces that liberated Lebanon and Syria from Vichy France during World War II. Dayan was wounded in battle in Lebanon and lost his left eye. He began to wear the black eyepatch that later became his trademark. He cooperated with British intelligence to set up a broadcasting network for clandestine operations behind enemy lines in the event that Palestine should fall to the Germans. He remained active in the Haganah until 1948.</P>
Dayan's activities in the 1948 War of Independence began when he commanded the defense of Jewish settlements in the Jordan Valley. He later commanded the battalion that attacked the city of Lydda and helped halt Egyptian forces on the southern front. In August 1948, he was appointed commander on the Jerusalem front. In 1949, he participated in armistice talks with Jordanian officials at Rhodes. Dayan's military prowess allowed him to rise to the rank of chief of operations at General Headquarters in 1952, and, in 1953, he was elected Chief of Staff of the armed forces.</P>
Dayan became Chief of Staff during a time of severe Arab belligerence. Despite the military armistice of 1949, the surrounding Arab nations remained hostile, maintaining a maritime blockade, reinforcing an economic boycott, promoting political and propaganda warfare and supporting terrorism in Israel. The Israeli government was unable to contain the terrorist violence. Dayan insisted on strong retaliation operations. His view was that the Arabs saw terrorism as a stage of war, and the longer the terrorist attacks continued, the longer the Arabs had to build up their military strength. He wanted to force the Arabs into open battle before they gained full military power. Under Dayan's command, the Israeli military launched raids in Gaza and other retaliatory missions, causing heavy casualties to the Egyptians, Syrians, and other Arab populations. On October 29, 1956, Dayan led Israel's Suez campaign, an invasion of the Sinai Peninsula after Egypt, Syria and Jordan signed a pact stating as their goal the destruction of Israel.</P>
Dayan left the military in 1958 and entered his second career — politics. He joined Israel's Labor Party, Mapai, and was elected to the Knesset in 1959. He served as Minister of Agriculture in the government of David Ben-Gurion from 1959 until 1964. In 1964, Dayan resigned as Minister of Agriculture after an argument with new Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and joined Ben-Gurion in forming a new party called Rafi (Alliance of Israel's Workers). Dayan did not stay out of the government for long, however. One year later, Dayan was reelected to the Knesset representing Rafi, which later rejoined the Labor Party.</P>
Dayan's reputation as an effective leader grew when he was appointed Minister of Defense under Levi Eshkol just in time for the Six-Day War in 1967 against Egypt, Jordan and Syria. When the Syrians were shelling Israeli villages in Upper Galilee, Dayan was the one who made the decision to launch a full-scale attack against the Syrians. It was also Dayan who ended the fighting by arranging a cease-fire with Syria through Chief of Staff of the UN Observer Corps, General Odd Bull. Dayan was seen as "a solo performer, partly admired, partly feared for his political stunts."(1)</P>
After the war, Dayan controlled the territories occupied by the Israeli Army. He opened the borders for Arab residents of the territories to travel to Arab countries, while at the same time maintaining order and security in Israeli-held areas.</P>
Dayan kept his position as Defense Minister when Golda Meir of the Labor Party succeeded Eshkol as Prime Minister in 1969. Ambassador Gideon Rafael wrote about Dayan, "Rocking the boat is his favourite tactic, not to overturn it, but to sway it sufficiently for the helmsman to lose his grip or for some of its unwanted passengers to fall overboard." One of his most controversial demands, made in 1973, was for the construction of Yamit, a new Israeli port city in Egyptian territory. Fearful of Dayan's defection from the Labor Party, Meir supported the plan.</P>
Before the Yamit plan could advance, however, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat launched a surprise attack against Israel. On Yom Kippur, October 6, 1973, Egyptian armies crossed the Suez Canal, moved anti-aircraft missiles into the canal area, and waged war on Israel. Israeli losses were high and Israel had too short a supply of equipment to conduct a prolonged war. </P>
On October 22, a cease-fire was declared, but the Israeli public's confidence had been severely shaken. Israel had been unprepared for the surprise attack and unable to repulse it quickly. The nation’s lack of preparation was blamed on Defense Minister Dayan and an outraged public demanded his resignation. The president of the Supreme Court set up a commission to investigate the performance of generals during the war. The commission recommended the resignation of the Chief of Staff, but reserved judgement on Dayan. The press and the public, however, condemned him. After attending a military funeral at which bereaved parents had called him a murderer of their sons, Dayan submitted his resignation to Meir in 1974.</P>
Dayan was "loath to close his life story marked by the events of the Yom Kippur War,"(2) and, in 1977, newly elected Likud Prime Minister Menachem Begin gave him a second chance by offering him the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although Dayan was from the opposition Labor Party, he accepted the appointment because he believed, "I could significantly influence Israel's moves towards achieving a peace arrangement with our neighboring Arab States and with the Palestinian inhabitants of Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip."(3)</P>
In May 1977, Dayan began negotiating with the Egyptians. As lead negotiator, Dayan began with the premise of receiving an Arab acceptance of Israeli rule over Judea, Samaria and Gaza, in exchange for a return of Sinai to Egypt. He negotiated for 18 months, and held secret meetings with officials in India, Iran, England and Morocco. His style is described as acting "alternately with dash and deliberation, advancing and stalling, vacillating between surprising compromises and inexplicable intransigence."(4) With help from U.S. president and mediator Jimmy Carter, Dayan met with the Egyptians first at Leeds Castle and later at Camp David. Eventually, a peace agreement, the Camp David Accords, was drawn up and signed at 11 p.m. on Sunday September 17, 1978.</P>
In 1979, Dayan resigned as Foreign Minister. Dayan and Begin disagreed about the building of settlements in the territories and Dayan was frustrated by the fact that he was not leading the autonomy talks with the Palestinians. Dayan also felt that he was increasingly being bypassed on foreign policy issues. In 1981, he formed the Telem party, which advocated unilateral disengagement from the territories occupied in 1967. The party received only two mandates in the subsequent elections.</P>
On May 14, 1979, Dayan was diagnosed with colon cancer. He died on October 16, 1981, in Tel Aviv and was buried in Nahalal, the moshav where he was raised.</P>
During his life, Dayan wrote four books: Diary of the Sinai Campaign (1966), Mappah Hadasha-Yahasim Aherim (1969) on problems after the Six-Day War, Moshe Dayan: Story of My Life (1976) and Breakthrough: A Personal Account of the Egypt-Israel Peace Negotiations (1981).</P>

摩西.达扬在以色列军事界被公认为是一位勇士，一位为和平而战的十字军战士。他拥有战争和外交双方面的技巧与经验。他在四次战争中发挥了关键性的领导作用，而且他还为历史性的以色列--埃及谈判提供了帮助。
摩西.达扬生于1915年5月20日，他出生在一个名叫kibbutz Deganya Alef的地方。这里靠近Kinneret湖边。他的双亲分别是Shemue和Devorah。他的出生地是在1910年才由外来的定居者建立起来的，那里也被叫做Kvutzot--那些外来集体定居者之母。
摩西.达扬才14岁的时候他就加入了一个名叫Haganah的地下组织，这个组织的主要目的是保护犹太定居者免受阿拉伯人的攻击。在这个组织中，达扬从英国上尉查尔斯.奥得.魏格特那里学到了不少游击战术.后者是在1936-1939年阿拉伯暴动中负责指挥晚间巡逻组织同阿拉伯叛乱者作战的英军指挥官。达扬在英军的管辖下在Jezreel 和 Galilee这两个地方充当特殊警察的角色。但是1939年英国宣布Haganah为非法组织，为此摩西.达扬被逮捕，并且在监狱里面呆了两年。
1941年摩西.达扬被释放，随即他加入了英国军队。他所在的部队在二战期间一直在试图将黎巴嫩和叙利亚从维西法国的统治下解放出来。摩西.达扬就是在解放黎巴嫩的一次战斗中受伤并且永远失去了他的左眼。从此他开始佩带一个黑色的眼罩，以后这也成为了他的个人标志。他与英国人合作在敌占区开设了一个秘密的广播电台甚至在巴勒斯坦都落入德国人的势力范围之后仍然坚持斗争。一直到1948年摩西.达扬都一直活跃在Haganah组织中。
摩西.达扬的领导作用在1948年的以色列独立战争中开始显现出来，那时他领导一支由外来者组成的部队防守Jordan村。之后他负责指挥部队进攻Lydda城，同时他还协助南部防线的部队一起迟滞埃及军队的进攻。1948年8月摩西.达扬出任耶路撒冷防线的指挥官。1949年他在Rhodes参加了同约旦官员进行的停战谈判。1952年摩西.达扬的军事能力使他升任为最高指挥官----陆军总司令。1953年他被推举为总参谋长。
摩西.达扬担任参谋长的时期里，正是中东地区的多事之秋，虽然在1949年签定了停战协定，但是周边的阿拉伯国家仍然对以色列进行着海上封锁，军事和经济的制裁，同时他们还在政治上极力鼓动战争，同时纵容针对以色列的恐怖袭击。以色列政府无法容忍这些恐怖袭击，摩西.达扬更是坚要决主张进行强烈的报复行动。以他的 观点来看，阿拉伯国家是把恐怖袭击当作战争的一部分，只要恐怖袭击能够持续的越长，那些国家就有越长的时间来积聚进行战争的军事力量，因此他希望能够迫使阿拉伯国家在积聚好战争能量之前就开战。在达扬的指挥下，以色列军队突袭了加沙城并进行了一系列其他的报复性行动。这些行动造成了大量的埃及、叙利亚、和其他阿拉伯国家的人员伤亡。1956年10月29日，在埃及、叙利亚和约旦缔结了共同对付以色列的合约后，摩西.达扬领导了苏伊士战役，侵入了埃及的西奈半岛。
1958年摩西.达扬离开了军队，投身了他的第二个事业---政治。他加入了以色列工党，并且在1959年被推选进入议会。他从1959年到1964年在David Ben-Gurion 的政府中担任农业部长。1964年摩西.达扬在与新总理Levi Eshkol 发生了一次争执之后辞去了部长的职务，转而与David Ben-Gurion一起建立了一个名叫Rafi的新政党（以色列工人联盟）。摩西.达扬并没有在政府外面呆多久，一年以后，摩西.达扬被选举成为了代表Rafi的议会议员，而这个党最后又合并进了工党。
1967年的六日战争期间，摩西.达扬因为他杰出的领导声誉被Levi Eshkol任命为国防部长来对抗埃及、叙利亚和约旦。当叙利亚在戈兰高低上突破了以军的防线以后，摩西.达扬是唯一一个坚持集中优势兵力优先进攻叙利亚的人。也是达扬决定在联合国秘书长下达停火决议以后通过联合国观察员奥得.布尔将军安排和叙利亚进行和谈的.摩西.达扬这时在政治上被看作是一个孤单的表演家,部分令人崇拜,但又部分令人恐惧.
战争结束后,摩西.达扬管辖着以色列军队新占领的大片土地。他下令开放了同阿拉伯国家的边界并且允许到阿拉伯国家去旅行,同时他又在以色列境内加强维持秩序和保证安全。
摩西.达扬一直担任国防部长的职务直到1969年高达.梅尔领导的工党成功的替代了Eshkol的政府并出任总理。Gideon Rafael 大使曾经这样评价达扬：达扬最擅长的是摇摆船，而不是翻倒船，通过足够的摇摆使陀手失去手里的把手，或者将一些不喜欢的乘客摇出船外。关于摩西.达扬最有争议的一件事发生在1973年，建设Yamit计划。这是一个修建在埃及领土上的新的以色列港口城市。工党内部一片反对，但是梅尔却支持这一计划。
在Yamit城建成之前，埃及总统萨达特突然在1973年10月6日犹太人的赎罪日发起了一场令人吃惊的进攻。埃及军队穿过苏伊士运河，运送了大量的防空导弹到达运河区域并且将战争引向以色列境内。以色列损失惨重并且无法在短期内弥补这些损失，更没有办法支撑一场持久战。
10月22日，双方宣布了停火协议。但是以色列民众的自信心却被严重动摇了，以色列对于这场突如其来的战争根本没有作好准备，也没有能够立即作出反映。之后准备不充分的指责全部落到了国防部长摩西.达扬的身上。并且公众强力要求他辞职。最高法院为此专门成立了一个委员会来调查战争中全部情况。这个委员会得出结论参谋长应当辞职，但是保全了摩西.达扬。然而公众的压力仍然在责难着他，在出席了一个死者家长骂他是杀死他们孩子的凶手的军人葬礼之后，摩西.达扬于1974年向梅尔夫人提出了辞职。
摩西.达扬很不愿意因为赎罪日战争使得他的人生停滞不前。1977年新当选的利库德集团总理 Menachem 给了他第二次机会，让他出任了外交部部长。虽然摩西.达扬一直是利库德的老对手工党的成员，但他还是接受了这个任命，因为他相信“我可以改变以色列的长远利益使得她向和平的方向前进。同我们周边的阿拉伯邻居和Judea、Samaria 、加沙的巴勒斯坦居民平相处。”
1977年5月，达扬开始和埃及展开谈判。作为谈判的领导者，达扬提出了如果阿拉伯世界可以接受以色列来管辖JUdea，Samaria和加沙城，那么以色列可以向埃及归还西奈半岛。在摩西.达扬18个的谈判历程中，他同印度、伊朗、英国、摩洛哥等国家展开了一系列的秘密会谈。他的风格被描绘为是：在深思熟虑和草率决定中间摆动。有时积极主动有时犹豫不决，有时会做出令人惊讶的让步，有时又会表现出让人琢磨不透的固执。在美国总统和调停人吉米.卡特的帮助下，摩西.达扬同埃及在英国的利兹进行了第一次会谈，之后在美国的戴维营进行了余下的会谈。1978年9月17日，一个和平协定----戴维营协定最终被签定和公布。
1979年摩西.达扬辞去了外交部长的职务。他开始在这个时候反对扩建以色列定居点，而且他也没有能够促成同巴勒斯坦领导人的自制谈判。摩西.达扬感觉到他在外交事物上开始被忽视。1981年，他发起了Telem党，这是一个单独要求归还1967年战争中吞并的领土的政党。但是这个政党在随后的选举中只赢得了2个席位。
在1979年5月14日，摩西.达扬被诊断患上了colon癌？（谁知道这是什么病？）。1981年10月16日，摩西.达扬在特拉维夫永远的离开了人世。他死后被葬在Nahalal他亲手建立的moshav居民点里。

1977年5月，达扬开始和埃及展开谈判。作为谈判的领导者，达扬提出了如果阿拉伯世界可以接受以色列来管辖JUdea，Samaria和加沙城，那么以色列可以向埃及归还西奈半岛。在摩西.达扬18个的谈判历程中，他同印度、伊朗、英国、摩洛哥等国家展开了一系列的秘密会谈。他的风格被描绘为是：在深思熟虑和草率决定中间摆动。有时积极主动有时犹豫不决，有时会做出令人惊讶的让步，有时又会表现出让人琢磨不透的固执。在美国总统和调停人吉米.卡特的帮助下，摩西.达扬同埃及在英国的利兹进行了第一次会谈，之后在美国的戴维营进行了余下的会谈。1978年9月17日，一个和平协定----戴维营协定最终被签定和公布。
1979年摩西.达扬辞去了外交部长的职务。他开始在这个时候反对扩建以色列定居点，而且他也没有能够促成同巴勒斯坦领导人的自制谈判。摩西.达扬感觉到他在外交事物上开始被忽视。1981年，他发起了Telem党，这是一个单独要求归还1967年战争中吞并的领土的政党。但是这个政党在随后的选举中只赢得了2个席位。
在1979年5月14日，摩西.达扬被诊断患上了colon癌？（谁知道这是什么病？）。1981年10月16日，摩西.达扬在特拉维夫永远的离开了人世。他死后被葬在Nahalal他亲手建立的moshav居民点里。
这个家伙，我很佩服他．真正的职业军人．
