Meir "Zarro" Zorea MC ((ヘブライ語:מאיר זורע), born Meyer Zarodinsky ((ヘブライ語:מאיר זארודינסקי)) on 14 March 1923, died 24 June 1995) was a general in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and later a member of the Knesset. He earned distinction through his combat actions in World War II and in the Israeli War of Independence. He was a founder of Democratic Movement for Change, an initially successful but short-lived centrist party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.knesset.gov.il/mk/eng/mk_eng.asp?mk_individual_id_t=405 )〕 ==Early life== Zorea was born in Chişinău, Bessarabia (then part of the Kingdom of Romania, now in Moldova) in 1923, and moved to Mandatory Palestine in 1925. He was a teenager at the outbreak of World War II, but in 1942 joined the 20th company of the Buffs, which was recruited from Palestine's Jews, and after september 1944 the Jewish Brigade, a temporary combatant military element of the British military. During late winter in 1945, Zorea's Brigade took part in combat against the German army at the Senio River Valley (near Bologna, Italy). After two difficult months, the brigade emerged from the engagement battered, yet victorious. Then a second lieutenant, Zorea was awarded the British Military Cross for leading his men through intense fire. Eventually, Zorea attained the rank of captain before the brigade was dissolved in 1946.〔 Some Haganah members among the Jewish Brigade soldiers, used The Jewish Brigade as a front for Haganah underground operations, including arms smuggling to the Haganah in the British Mandate of Palestine, directing European Jewish Holocaust survivors in emigration to Palestine (''see Beriha''), and executing Nazi officials and military officers. Zorea took part in all of these activities. Regarding emigration to Palestine, Zorea remarked: :''We had a net over the whole of Europe, which was then about five million people of all nations and denominations who were moving from place to place, and we directed our streams toward Palestine.'' To facilitate execution of Nazis, Jewish Brigade members would traverse post-war Europe in bands of three and four. Zorea explained: :''We only eliminated those directly involved in the slaughter of Jews. At first we put a bullet through their heads. Then we strangled them. With our bare hands. We never said anything before we killed them. Not why or who we were. We just killed them like you kill a bug.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meir Zorea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
