Yossi Sarid, 1940-2015

The veteran Israeli politician, commentator, and peace activist and former head of the Meretz Party Yossi Sarid died suddenly of a heart attack a week ago today, at the age of 75. Here are two appreciations:

• Current Meretz leader Zehava Gal-on in The Jerusalem Post: "Yossi Sarid: A Leader of the Left Who Loved Israel."

•  Yariv Oppenheimer,  Secretary General of Peace Now, "Difficult is the Life of a True Prophet."

He was often a too lonely but a consistent voice. RIP. May his memory be a blessing. ז״ל
