In 1942 she joined the Irgun, and moved to Lehi the following year. A radio announcer for the group, she was arrested by the British authorities in 1946. She was imprisoned in Bethlehem, but escaped from jail in 1947. She was also editor of the Lehi newspaper Youth Front. After Israeli independence in 1948, she contributed to Sulam, a monthly magazine published by former Lehi leader Israel Eldad.

Cohen married a former Lehi comrade, Emanuel Hanegbi. From 1961–73, she wrote for the Israeli newspaper Maariv and served on its editorial board.

Political career In 1972 Cohen joined Menachem Begin's Herut party, then part of the Gahal alliance, and was elected to the Knesset the following year, by which time Gahal had become Likud. She was re-elected in 1977.

Almost immediately after being elected PM in 1977, Menachem Begin visited the "territories" and declared them "liberated Israel." That didn't seem to lead to anything.

The answer lies not only in annexation but in transfering the hostile Arabs to an Arab country (or countries), but it's actually against the law to suggest this in Israel (I believe).

The borders of 'Eretz Yisra'el are determined by Halakhah and not by human authority. Unfortunately the State of Israel that has existed since 1948 is a secular western democracy and not a Halakhic state.
