Yehezkel Nisanov (Hebrew: יחזקאל ניסנוב; 1886-1911[7]) was a Mountain Jewish Zionist and early immigrant in Eretz Israel.

He became involved in the Russian Social Democratic Party and was one of the early founders of the Bar Giora group[8][9] and later Hashomer[10][11][12]

Life

[edit]

Nisanov was born in 1886 in Tamir-Khan-Shura to a family of Mountain Jews.[13] Growing up in poverty, he began working at a young age and later moved to Baku to study sewing, where he became involved in the Russian Social Democratic Party and eventually the Poalei Zion movement.[14] Because of Zionist aspirations he immigrated to Ottoman Palestine in 1906, together with his family. He played a significant role as one of the early founders of the Bar Giora militia[15] and later Hashomer.[16] Settling in the Galilee, he dedicated himself to land guarding and acquisition.[17][18]

Death

[edit]

Nisanov was killed by Arab thieves on February 13, 1911,[19][20] near Yavne'el and Beit Gan (now part of Yavne'el) after refusing to give up his cart and mules.[21][22][23][24][25] Israel Giladi, one of the leaders of Hashomer, wrote of his death:

Of course, he preferred to be killed rather than to give up his mules to the Arabs. When they stole the animals from some farmer Nisanov would reproach him bitterly: "How is it that you are still alive and your animals are gone? Shame on you!" And now he has shown that he was as good as his word.[26]
