It is with sadness to hear the loss of this outstanding Jewish & Zionist thinker & activist.
I had the privilege of meeting Moekie on a couple occasions. The last time was at the Jewish Book Fair in Toronto shortly after the publication his book, "Lone Wolf".
Although frail physically, he spoke with passion, wit & conviction.
May we all learn from his example.

A true loss.

My sadness is mollified by thankfulness of knowing his work. After having his book "Battleground" for many years I only finished it recently. I hope all those who miss him will find comfort soon and that many who know nothing of him will soon know more. Eretz Ha Kodesh, Eretz Ha Shelamah, Eretz Ha Mitzvoth, Rak Kach!
One hopes that in his last frail years, Shmuel z'l was spared full consciousness of the squalor into which Zionist ideals have been dragged by wayward sons of Betar.
If his writings were ever made compulsory reading in Israel's universities, our problems would be over. May his memory be a blessing for all of us and may his ideals and values never be forgotten.
truly the end of an era....
I last spoke with Moekie about two weeks before Pesach. He was frail but alert and completely knowledgeable about political events and until his last days in the hospital last week, read two papers daily. He was very aware of happenings and developments.
