- Russian-born Jewish advocate, author, and Zionist leader. Jabotinsky began a career as a journalist, but following the Russian pogroms began to devote himself to the cause of a Jewish homeland. He founded the Jewish Legion of the British Army during World War I, and led the struggle between the wars to gain acceptance of a Jewish right to the lands of Palestine. He also struggled unsuccessfully to arrange the exodus of the entire Jewish population of Poland in 1936, in view of his belief that annihilation awaited Jews there. He wrote numerous books, including a novel about Samson which served as the source for the Cecil B. DeMille movie Samson and Delilah (1949). Jabotinsky, who had changed his first name from Vladimir to Ze'ev in 1903, died of a heart attack in New York City in 1940. Although initially refused burial in Palestine and, later, the state of Israel, his body was reinterred in Jerusalem in 1964.
