Joseph Trumpeldor

Joseph Vladimirovich (Volfovich) Trumpeldor (November 21, 1880 – March 1, 1920) is an early Zionist activist who helps to organize the Zion Mule Corps and bring Jewish immigrants to Palestine.

Trumpeldor dies defending the settlement of Tel Hai in 1920 and subsequently becomes a Zionist national hero.

According to a standard account, his last words were "It does not matter, it is good to die for our country", but that he ever said these words has been challenged.
