Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery made world history when, on July 3, 1982, he crossed the battle lines during the Battle of Beirut to meet Yasser Arafat, becoming the first Israeli to ever meet with the Palestinian leader. Even early in his career of activism, he was so notorious in right-wing circles that the former Mossad chief Issar Har'el called him "Public Enemy Number 1" of the Ben-Gurion Administration.
