Politician[edit]

How can a former governor not be a politician. I don't understand this removal. -- Kendrick7^talk 16:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was the military governor, which is not a political role. He was not elected to this post, nor appointed to it by any political party - he was assigned this task, which is a military command role, by the IDF. Hope this clears things up. Canadian Monkey (talk) 02:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a ref that he wasn't a political appointee? Was he actually in the military? You don't need to be elected to be a politician; see the above link. Honestly, I'm picturing this guy as the L. Paul Bremer (Iraq occupation governor) of his time, not as a general like Douglas MacArthur (Japan occupation governor in all but title). But you may be right; I'll leave it for now pending better sources. -- Kendrick7^talk 03:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, OK, he does seem have been a colonel.[1] Come to think of it, I've never heard of such a thing as an Israeli general, so that may be their military's highest rank. -- Kendrick7^talk 03:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, no, Israel's armed forces certainly have generals, including some I'm sure you've heard of. Canadian Monkey (talk) 03:48, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Military governor of Gaza[edit]

Can anyone explain how he could be the military governor of Gaza in 1956-57 if the city was under the Egyptian rule at the time? Beit Or 14:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gaza was occupied by Israel from November 1956 to March 1957, a result of the Suez War. Canadian Monkey (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
