"Ben Gurion succeeded in breaking the siege on Jerusalem in 1948."
(Fortuna Benmayor)
That`s only one of your mistakes. Ben Gurion succeeded not,
and on May 28, 1948, the Arab Legion gained control over
East Jerusalem and the Old City.
"All of its Jewish inhabitants were either taken prisoner or
handed over to the Red Cross to be permanently transferred to
Israeli-controlled areas."

Ben Gurion [had] an inconmensurable, mystical hope in what
the Jewish heart and mind can achieve."
(Fortuna Benmayor)
Perhaps.
What is sure is what his successor have, up to now, achieved,
with their Jewish heart and mind: To make us
the only democratic country to lord over, for already 40 years,
a foreign and stateless people,
but unable to protect its citizens from home-made rockets.
