Customer Reviews

Benjamin and Yoni are brothers

They are brothers and I have not read the book but read Yoni's diary. He was a great hero and his father Ben Zion is also a great man. His father is a historian and dedicated his life to writing books about Jewish history. I was fortunate to meet Bibi's father many years ago. His father and mother are exceptional people. It is no wonder all their children are so brilliant.

Yes...He was Bibi's brother

Yoni Netanhayu, an israeli hero, was related to former israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Is this guy related to Bibi?
