Why he might be annoying:

    He attempted to take more credit for Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War than he deserved.
    He was known to be a wild and unrestrained person.
    Ariel Sharon said of him: 'He would wake up with a hundred ideas. Of them ninety-five were dangerous; three more were bad; the remaining two, however, were brilliant.'
    He is disliked by many for having helped create the 1978 Camp David Accord 'peace treaty' between Israel and Egypt (weapons are said to still be smuggled to terrorists in the Gaza Strip from Egypt without action from the government).
    It was joked that he wore a patch over one eye because he was keeping an eye out for the arabs.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a brave fighter and served on the front lines of combat with his troops.
    He is regarded as a brilliant military strategist.
    He was the first child born on his family's Kibbutz.
    He went on archeological digs in his spare time and maintained an impressive collection of ancient artifacts.
    He looked like a hard ass with his eye patch.
