Is there even such a thing? Especially someone born in 1951. Plus, for the record, this article does not feel very encyclopedic to me. And there are several unsourced blurbs.Jickyincognito (talk) 12:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just as many Americans tracing their ancestry back to Pilgrim Fathers can call themselves 15th generation Americans - even though the United States was not founded until 1776, so Israelis often trace ancestry to the earliest-known ancestor born on the soil of the Holy Land. It needs a source.ShulMaven (talk) 21:07, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I removed this unsourced section because it is in the bio of an active politician, and makes some pretty big claims. Feel free to replace it with sources. I will replace it with a briefer, sources section. Here is the removed material:
"With the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Katz was second in command of "Koah Patzi", code name for a 12 man squad from Sayeret Shaked comprising only officers. Operating directly under Ariel Sharon, the squad carried out bloody missions primarily behind enemy lines. On the eighth day of the war, General Sharon sent Koah Patzi to locate and destroy the largest incursion yet of Egyptian commandos sent in to prevent the Israelis crossing over the Suez Canal. In a key and bloody engagement, the 12 members of Koah Patzi killed the 70 entrenched Egyptian commandos. During the ensuing battle, Katz took a direct hit in his left hip by an RPG missile that left him near death. While lying in the desert sand seriously wounded, he made a personal oath to God, that should he survive, he would devote his life to settlement and education. Katz fought death for months afterward in Beilinson Hospital.". ShulMaven (talk) 21:18, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
