| "Ben Gurion succeeded because the times were absolutely desperate." (genius) Not really. The reason he succeeded is because he was ruling a free and independent country, free of foreign occupation. Only then could he succesfully confront his own radical armed factions. Altalena, June 1948, could only take place after the British occupation forces had departed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altalena Also because his IDF was clashing with [three] foreign armies, not with an occupied foreign and stateless population. |
