Line 18:

He remained active through the turmoil of World War I, the Russian revolutions, and beyond. He fought for Hebrew as the national language, opposed partition plans, and tirelessly promoted land redemption through the [[Jewish National Fund]]. In 1923 he became president of the JNF, devoting all his energies to acquiring land across Palestine, including the Jezreel, Hefer, and Hula valleys, as well as the Negev. His determination earned him the nickname “the Iron Man” and the phrase: “Nothing can withstand the will.”

He died in Jerusalem on the eve of October 2, 1941, and was buried in the Nicanor Cave on Mount Scopus, near his mentor [[Leon Pinsker]]. Streets, settlements, and institutions were later named for him, including Kibbutz Kfar ~~Menachem~~, the “Metzudat Ussishkin” (Ussishkin Citadel) bloc of settlements in the north, and “Ussishkin Day” declared by the JNF.
