Netanyahu and Likuds Leaders

This research discusses the second-generation Likud leaders, known as the Princes, who have dominated Israeli politics for most of the last three decades: their relations with their parents and the extent to which they have followed in (or diverged from) their footsteps.

The main theme seeks to explore the unique, perhaps unprecedented, socio-political phenomenon of generational duplication in a western-type democracy. This volume examines the ways and means through which the disciples of Zionist leader Zeev Jabotinsky managed not only to maintain lasting control of their mentors creation to transform after Israels establishment from a small opposition party into the countrys dominant and ruling party but also hand down this political pre-eminence to their descendants. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the son of Ben-Zion Netanyahu, foreign minister of Jabotinskys movement. President Reuven Rivlin is the son of resistance warrior Rachel Rivlin. MP Benny Begin is the son of Menachem Begin. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and many others were also part of those Princes.

A breakthrough in the worlds inter-generational research, the book is for readers interested in political science, sociology, and the politics of Israel and the Middle East.

Gil Samsonov is a managing partner in one of the top advertising firms in Israel, graduated from Tel-Aviv University, and got a PhD from Kings College in London University. Samsonov has led numerus national and local election and general campaigns in Israel, and he is a senior political and marketing commentator in the Israeli television, radio and press.

Motto

That which was inscribed in blood and sweat will not be expunged by perfidious pens.

(Uri Zvi Greenbergs words to my grandmother, Malka Samsonov, at Aaronsohn House [the Nili museum] in Zikhron Yaakov)

To my father, Jomik:

The personal example set by you and your generation, and your dedication to the Jewish People and the state, are what inspired us, the second generation. In the spirit of the words of Sterns anthem, we were all committed for life to having the history books tell the truth about your generation the generation of the underground movements about its bravery and its contribution to Israels independence. A generation mighty enough to raise a generation of heirs.
