- Moshe Dayan, one of the most iconic Israeli figures of all time, is best known for his military leadership - especially in the Six-Day War of 1967.
Who was this legendary general, how did a kibbutz kid become “Moshe Dayan” and what’s the story with that black eye patch anyway?
There’s no doubt that Dayan was a real military expert, but he was also an expert at building his own self image. In the days before 24-hour news access, and decades before social media, he had enough media savvy to take the spotlight away from other military leaders - including the prime minister - and portray himself as Israel’s hero.
What do you think about Moshe Dayan? Does he represent a true Israeli hero to you? Does history reward those with the best PR, not necessarily those who do the most?

As a military commander I salute him.3 wars won against overwhelming superiority.
With all of the military tech given to them, why not?

Only 67 was a victory , others werent ...
I was in highschool going college when Dayan was famous. Was he in the cover of Time saying"We Will Not Negotiate For A Palestinian State".Arafat was furious. Dayan declared this in his address to the UN General Assembly in the 70's...what a brave Israelite !
Israelis are not "Israelites." Those are the enemy!
Exactly, indeed he was❤️❤️
I guess only Dayan can pull off those grandpa style high waisted pants, and still look like a badass...

In those days, the longer your trouser fly was the tougher you were.
I wonder how the future will regard pants pulled halfway down?
I had inner strggle with that one. But I patch is too cool it made me bend
Now girls wear their pants around that high.
What a moving tribute to an amazing man!!!!
Moshe Dayan was a genius... military or any field or anything to explore.
"I've only got one eye, I can keep it on the road, or I can keep it on the speedometer, which do you prefer?" That is one classic response my friends.
😅😅
I remember watching him on TV as a child a real living legend
He lost an eye fighting with his brother over the last matzo ball!!!!
Moshe Dayan is one of the greatest smart strategists of all times. We must thank him and honor his memory

I remember his name Moshe Dayan as Israel's Defence Official in the Israeli 6 day war a very brilliant Military Commander leading Israel to victory .
Executing POWs was his most brilliant tactic!
@@chainsaw3577 The rules of engagement could have been different back then go Moshe Dayan was a brilliant commander .
@@waldensmith4796 Sorry, but Dayan fought as a partisan/Red Terrorist during WWII and executed 20,000 POWs in the Sinai during the Six Day War. As a member of Haganah he was linked to the Zionist Revisionist Movement (instrumental for human trafficking Jews to Palestine), executing two British POWs while looting Haifa after driving the Arabs out, the King David Hotel bombing and Deir Yassin massacre. He was ousted after the '73 war for being unprepared. Dayan belongs in the "Serial Killer Hall of Fame!"
@@chainsaw3577 Thks for info Rabbi when we look back at this 6 day war which we followed closely Israel was well protected and under Commander Dayan he executed his military duties to the very best of his abilities. Wars as we know brings out worst at times notably the Holocaust . What's your take on Iran building the Nuclear bomb to annihilate Israel and the ring of fire on Israels borders. My prayers are with Israel.
My grandfather wrote his widow after his passing and asked if he could be privileged to have one of dayans eyepatches. I have it on my mantle. It will Never leave this family.
Unless they stay at the King David Hotel or take a cruise on the USS Liberty...
Mr Moshe Dayan is really a military genius & a hero. He must be a role model for all. He is an ideal human being. God Bless Israel. May God Bless All Israeli Brothers & Sisters. We pray for the Victory, Peace, Success, Growth, Development & Prosperity of Israel. God Bless Israel. Long Live Israel. Thank You.
He really showed the USS Liberty who's the boss!
God Bless Moshe Dayan's Family
He was truly blessed... didn't answer a single question about the Liberty!!!
Yigael Yadin on the theft of several important artifacts: “I know who did it, and I am not going to say who it is, but if I catch him, I’ll poke out his other eye too.” Moshe Dayan was AWESOME!!!!
This is Don from Charlotte North Carolina USA. I’m currently studying history of Israel of the Jews and Jerusalem. Thank you for helping me to gain knowledge of this sort. And I do pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I love your land

@@renniecohen5021 Hi there
Are you from Israel
Are you talking about Lieutenant General J.R.F Jacob ? He was Jew but he was Indian.
Israel loves India
Keep his one eye on the road or the speedometer LoL
I really respect him a fellow lot as a military officer. What he did and devoted for IDF was enormous. Not just winning the battle but made their army to be the most sustainable strong efficient army. ❤ from 🇰🇷
Heavily recommend reading his biography if u are interested in military things and his life
He is beyond compare. In India we had Sam Maneckshaw. 93,000+ coward Pakistan army surrendered in 1971 without so much as even offering a fight. Someone called Gen Niazi signed the instrument of surrender in front of world press under complete humiliation.
Long live Israel/India friendship.

Before Israel became our only friend in the Middle East, we had no enemies there!
Israel LOVES India

All he needs to say is " Avengers assemble "
Maybe the writer got the eyepatch from him?

War hero. Greatest military general of Israel, Moshe Dayan
In modern times, probably yes. But the greatest... I would say Joab (Yoav), King David's general.
One of the greatest serial killers of our time!
Love the video! May I please implore you to speak just a tad slower? I've ordered Moshe Dayan's book and can't wait for it to come in! What a legend!
Perfect man at right time ❤
He was a great man and one of my heroes
Murdered 20,000 Egyptian POWs in the Sinai and ordered the USS Liberty sunk at all costs. What a hero!
I remember as a five year old kid in Australia during 1970 seeing newspaper photos and tv news footage of him and being intrigued by this famous war man with an eyepatch and a woman's name (Diane).
Dayan is an old word for judge by the way
his first name is moshe, translates to Moses🤩
Not good at hiding the pirate image... when Sharon ordered the 20,000 Egyptian POWs executed, Dayan begged Sharon to let the IDF cut their throats!
Can you please make your commentary little slower , so we can understand properly. Your topic is excellent. Thanks.
Moshe Dayan is the only officer that I consider to be on the same plane as Douglas MacArthur.
Both had their highs and lows.
MacArthur’s landing in Seoul during the Korean War was hailed as a tatical genius but not heeding the warnings that he was about to be over run by the chinese was not his finest hour.
Much like Dayan’s plan for the Six Day War was seen as legendary, but he came up short during the Yom Kippur War.
cfcblue8 when you’re right, you’re right.
cfcblue8 Harry Truman once said that if insanity was illegal that most Generals would be in prison. I’m paraphrasing, but the message is still clear.
These insane conductors of war are necessary for us. For better or worse/
Yep, also thought so. I was just thinking about that a few seconds ago.
Believe he was greater when he you consider the opposition armies
One of the grest General ofI srael like no one else
Dayan is the grest land pirate ever to wear an eye patch...
Dayan was a loin, a hero, an Israeli icon! The greatest winer of the Six Days war. Golda was even more than that. Thanks to her Israel survived after Yom Kippur war. She prevented a world war by her own way. I'm proud to be an Israeli woman who took part in the war of 1973. RIP Golda! RIP Daian! UR Israel will stay for ever. Our hero, u deserve a big Bravo!!!
He was a very Headstrong man. Much respected figure even to this present day.
He was once one of Orde Windgate's students. Orde Windgate, a British Major General, is buried in Arlington National Cemetary. Orde Windgate was a young officer in the Mandate in the pre-World War II era. You could say that he was one of the officers who would create what we know as Special Forces. He came up with the idea of reprisal. fighting at night and Unit 101. Things that to this day the IDF excels at. Moshe Dayan was by far not a perfect person, but he sure knew how to defend his country. Oh, and Ariel Sharon was in the same unit with Dayan. Another bigger-than-life IDF General.
Both were involved in the execution of 20,000 Egyptian POWs in the Sinai... may you drink the blood of many Palestinian children!
Those were 2 Bad Bitches!!! 😂
The eyepatch already makes him a baller, but now you’re telling me he’s a brilliant commander? This is getting out of hand...
My favorite - awesome military genius - heavily misunderstood
Israeli founding father Ben Gurion said this of Dayan. " Your character has two diagrametically opposite facets, courage bordering on the lunatic, offset and balanced by profound tactical and strategic intelligence." That's why he made him chief of staff at 38 years in 1953. He set the standard for the Israeli army zahal that is observed upto this day. What a military leader and equally skilled at the diplomatic level too.
Very cool 👌

God bless Israel thanks Moshe Dayan from Ethiopia.
We need more Ethiopian refugees in Israel... bring all of your friends!
It wasn't just a perception that Dayan was the hero of the 6 day war. The PM refused to pull the trigger, and the Chief of Staff literally had a mental breakdown. Dayan was put in charge by the war council because of these things. The "Reserve" Troops had been sitting at their post for over two weeks while all of Israel had ground to a halt. Here in the US we call it "$hit or get off the pot"...
I know this channel is supposed to show Israel and its history in a good light, but in this video some criticism of Dayan’s actions would’ve been in order. Mazar’s quote about him seeing with his one eye “more than ten professional archeologists” is alright if only archeology was an Indiana Jones type of activity. It’s not, and when surveying a site what often matters more than the actual artifacts is the context, i.e. where exactly was the artifact in relation to everything else on site, how deeply was it buried, etc. Dayan may have dug up many pretty objects for us to look at but thanks to his actions we have lost much data about ancient Israelite/Canaanite history irrecoverably. Please don’t gloss over such actions with things like “yippee he was a real life pirate!”
DUDE, you are missing the forest for the leaves. DAYAN STOLE THE ARTEFACTS from PALESTINIANS.

Moshe Dayan is good. Brutal. That’s how you do stuff. Either you do it or not at all.
Dayan did nothing wrong by taking all the glory so long as he did his job the way he did
He saved Israel from genocide, he deserved all the credit in the world, that eye patch was a blessing in disguise.
All of the plans were already made by professional staff officers. He just collected the glory.

It was more than simply the eye patch. That's part of it. Not so much that the eye patch made him reknown, but from how it came about and the aftermath of it.
He was a soldier, in what was then Palastine fighting Vichy French under command of the English army.
One day, he looked through a pair of binoculers to assess the ground situation
when suddenly a bullet came through one of the binocular lenses and into his eye socket leaving him with only one eye.
Being thrown into that situation he did not give up and proved himself capable as a military leader.
He eventually became the top commanding general of Israel and thereafter retired from the military.
In 1966 just a week before the 6 day war started, he was in Vietnam supposedly as a war correspondent.
However, it sounds more like a clandestine mission for him to observe the situation and give a report on his assessment of the war to the American command.
He was called back to Israel because there was the dire situation of war looming.
Again, the eye patch did distinguish him, however, the main point I'm making is, as a military leader, he had a way of instilling his personality on those around him
which makes a military unit cohesive.
This is the reason why he was suddenly interjected as Minister of Defense, just one day before the 6 day war broke out.
In short, the Dayan effect imbued troops.
Dayan executed 20,000 Egyptian POWs in the Sinai after the 6 Day War...
Moshe dayan has character.,real man.
You forgot to mention in 1973 Moche Dayan ordered 13 NUCLEAR bombs being equiped on 8 f4 fighters with Cairo and Damascus as destination.
Thanks god Golda Meir persuaded him not to strike...
if i Remember correctly he only did that to get the americans attention to get them to send equipment to Israel. he never planed on useing them

Dayan did not lead the military during the 6 day war. By that time he was already a senior statesman, and he was brought into the cabinet to soothe fears. The real military leader at that time was the Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin.

@@irvingkohen7995 Rabin the criminal who ordered to break the bones of small Palestinian children
It was Sharon that ordered every Egyptian POW shot in the Sinai... Dayan begged him to let his troops cut their throats...!
Ezer Weizman would disagree with you, he flew Dayan by helicopter to Jerusalem after it was taken by Israeli paratroopers under Mordecai Gur. There were bullets still flying around and when the soldiers saw Dayan in the helicopter they almost jumped into it. Weizmans words were that " I knew then who the leader was in Israel. You see Dayan had an effect on soldiers by his brilliance, personal courage in the battlefield, he made men believe in themselves. He was always around where the bullets were flying.
