| "Jerusalem," according to David
Ben-Gurion, |
"is the heart of the State of
Israel." |
| On May 14, 1948, in the former Tel Aviv
Museum, |
David Ben-Gurion declared the founding
of the State of Israel. |
| "A war is a test of power |
but most of all a test of will." |
| David Ben-Gurion’s Zionism was based on
three elements |
immigration("Aliya"); the
Hebrew language; Jewish labor. |
| David Ben-Gurion went to Sde Boker |
because he wanted to set an example for others
to follow. |
| "Eretz Yisrael will be ours not when
theTurks or English decide, |
but when we Jews will build it." |
| As the general secretary of the
"Histadrut," |
David Ben-Gurion fought to protect the
status of the Jewish worker. |
| Ben-Gurion’s wife, Paula, followed him to
Sde Boker |
and died there before him. |
| The question of how to settle the Israel-Arab
conflict |
was constantly on his mind. |
