As a Chinese, it was the first time I heard Ben-Gurion express his views on China. It was indeed very rare. What was interesting was that the "people's communes" established by the CCP in the countryside at that time and the Israeli "kibbutz" were similar in nature. If it weren't for the Cold War confrontation, perhaps they would have been able to communicate happily.

The eternal debate. Not much has changed.

I was three years old in March 1967. What I wouldn't give to have been able to be present at this speech and be old enough to remember it now.

בן גוריון היה ראש ממשלה מיוחד במינו אוצלח יש לו אסטוריה מצוינית שלא ישכח לעולם היה אדם חכם מאוד ז"ל

thick polish accent, sounds like my dad lol

First time I;m hearing Ben Gurion speak English

He also said, In 1937, The compulsory transfer of the Arabs from the valleys of the proposed Jewish state could give us something which we never had, not even in ancient times.

Do i hear a slight persian or kurdish accent

Who is the man who came by walking from Smirna to Israel?

Great leader in Jewish history 🙏🙏🙏

Er war ein Sprach Wissenschaftler für Sprach Entwicklung !

Is possible to get the interview in text?

So those few didn't have enough faith to wait for the Messiah to come but instead took it upon themselves to form a Jewish state. Doesn't that in itself disqualify these men as men of faith. That's not a question.

32:17

Because he is one of the foremost greatest man of our time. And you shouldn't insult him and his legacy with conspiracy theories.

The greatest speech I ever come across it.

Lion of Judah

He is the David prophesied in Jeremiah after the time of Jacob's trouble, ending the iron yoke on the Jewish people.

Great leader in history of Jewish

Always righteous. Always exceptional and always contemptuous. And so the circle continues.

Definitely he was a lion of a man in a time unscathed by the pernicious gender ideology we are being indoctrinated with these days. He speaks with strength and such confidence! The questions are sadly inaudible, but it’s good to listen to Ben Gurion’s answers. 🙌🏻 The bit about China’s being a ‘great’ power I am not so sure of, and I wonder what Ben Gurion would think of today’s Putinist Russia.

A quote (azquotes.com) from David Ben Gurion: "Since I invoke Torah so often, let me state that I don't personally believe in the God it postulates ... I am not religious, nor were the majority of the early builders of Israel believers. Yet their passion for this land stemmed from the Book of Books ... [The Bible is] the single most important book in my life." This is the mindset of the Zionist movement that has continued down to this very day; a conquest of the land with no regard for the God who owns the land and the covenant faithfulness required for its continuous inheritance.

I prefer Menachem Begin.

He is Simon Bar Sinister from the Underdog cartoon.

So how do you go from 20,000 to 56,000 to 650,000 without pushing out people already there? Sounds a lot like colonial settlers. And we all know colonial settlers aren't allowed in heaven.

The land was desolated?? lol Really?

A hundred years ago, on November 2nd, 1917 a "secular" British state issued a declaration known as the "Balfour declaration." The declaration was contained in a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild. In it, it stated the Majesty's intentions to work for a "Jewish" national home in the holy land. The question here arises is, why would a leading secular state strive for the establishment of a religious state? Two months later, a British army led by General Alanby defeats the Ottoman Islamic Army and liberates the holy land. When the General entered into Jerusalem, he declares "today the crusades are over." Oh but the crusades were supposed to be christian wars no? and Britain is not a christian state rather a secular state! How can a secular state continue the wars started by the Pope a thousand years ago? Between 1918 and 1948, for a period of almost 30 years the holy land was ruled by the island of Britain, on the mandate conferred by the 'League of Nations' (Now United Nations) and during that period of time, while pretending to keep the Jews out Britain opened the gates of Jerusalem for the European Jews, to reclaim it as their own. In between, came the interlude of Adolph Hitler which sped up the movement of the Jews from Europe to the Holy Land. In 1948, Britain did something strangest of all. Being a state with tremendous commitment to the rule of law, it left the Holy Land like a thief in the dark. For the first time in British history, there was no legal transfer of power from Britain to the successor state. Some say, in 1948 Britain acted as a midwife for the baby to be born...The European Jewish state of Israel. This was how this plague of a nation came into being, all this stupid man is babbling about is complete BS!!
