		"We are happy to think that Eamon de Valera found a particular joy in the verdancy of a forest in Galilee that bears his name," it read in part, over the name Ephraim Katzir, President of Israel.
		It is unlikely that the certain passing of Ariel Sharon from the political landscape ÃÂ— though his body continued to fight on as of this writing ÃÂ— will be met by many in this country with a similar warmth.
