Quote of The Day

Quote of The Day


Ben Gurion did not fight against the religious, but against turning the religion into a mechanism. Ben Gurion saw himself as a religious person. As a statesman he was greater than all the rest, he never made a mistake, and his way led to the establishment of the State. The union was the template of the State. in his fight with Jabotinsky, history has shown that Ben Gurion was correct. He always credited success on the general community, but failures he blamed himself for.

  -- President Shimon Peres

  1. HOw exactly has history shown that? Perhaps that Ben Gurion was correct that Menachem Begin would not risk civil war when fired upon?

  2. That is a load of hooey. Ben Gurion was not religious, and history has not proven him to be correct by any stretch of the imagination.

  3. Shimon Peres was a protege of David Ben Gurion, and his admiration for Ben Gurion was probably similar to the admiration a Hassid has for his Rebbe..
