What Ben-Gurion did
Reader comment on item: What Would Ben-Gurion Do?
Submitted by heplev (Germany), May 31, 2020 at 05:02
Ben-Gurion in 1948 - no questions.
But he lost a lot of determination; in 1967 he advised vehemently against the war with the Arabs because he believed Israel wouldn't be able to defeat the Arab armies without help from outside (esp. the U.S.) So I don't think the "What would Ben-Gurion do?" view ist feasible here.
