"As a young boy, he was very interested in mathematics and his father sent him to the best high school in Haifa, where he studied under mathematician Elisha Netanyahu, who was then a high school teacher."
Interesting. Some people are lucky enough to find their vocation quite early in life.

- moralestapia 6mo agoYeah. Everything is intertwined at some level. Interesting.

- myth_drannon 6mo agoWhat a small world. But the entire extended family are professors. Too bad one became a politician.
- keybored 6mo agoBenzion? > Benzion Netanyahu ... A scholar of Judaic history, he was also an activist in the Revisionist Zionism movement, who lobbied in the United States to support the creation of the Jewish state.
- nephihaha 6mo agoThat's Benjamin Netanyahu's brother apparently. Sad that the only thing that shows up nowadays in searches tends to be Wikipedia. I miss the democratic internet with lots of quirky sites you could find with ease.
- jojomodding 6mo agoactually his uncle.
- nephihaha 6mo agoVery cliquey at the top. Rabin is the name of a former Israeli PM as well, so wouldn't be surprised if they were related.
