Shimon Tzabar (born 5 March, 1926 in Tel Aviv, died 19 March, 2007 in London) was a member of the editorial board of Israel Imperial News. He described himself as a "Hebrew speaking Palestinian".
In his teens he was a member of all three Jewish underground military organizations in British Mandatory Palestine: Lehi , Etzel, and Haganah (Palmach) that fought the British and the surrounding Arab populations as Arab attacks on Jews increased, and there was little apparent support from the British mandate authorities. With the establishment of Israel, he was involved in the first three wars: 1948-50, 1956, and 1967. He strongly disagreed with the annexation of the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem and takeover of the West Bank and Gaza Strip by Israel in the aftermath of the Six-Day war.
Before leaving Israel, Tzabar was a columnist for a number of years for both the daily "Haaretz" and the weekly "Ha'olam Haze" newspapers. He also published 27 books in Hebrew, among these are works of fiction, travel, children's books and poetry. Allan Lane, the hard cover "Penguin", published his English book: "The White Flag Principle" that had been translated and published in Japan and in most European languages.
In 2004, Michelin threatened to sue him for trademark infringement, after he published a study of Israel's prisons under the title "MUCH BETTER THAN THE OFFICIAL MICHELIN Guide to Israeli prisons, Jails, concentration camps and torture chambers"; they eventually dropped the case.
