Ever since his days as a frail child in Poland David
Ben-Gurion had dreamed about the deliverance of the Jews to their biblical
homeland. It is therefore significant that his dreams came true and he is
deemed the father of the nation of Israel when the State of Israel came to existence
in 1948. But he was also a visionary statesman who led the newly created state
of Israel through its tumulus years of 1948 to 1963, commanding its wars and
delivering statesmanship.
He devoured philosophy books, studied the Bible, flirted
with Buddhism, taught himself ancient Greek in order to read Plato in the original.
He possessed a relentless curiosity about the natural sciences and detested
fiction. Verbal battle, not crafted dialogue was his preferred mode of
communication.
He was a tight, craggy man with a hallo of silvery hair, a jawbone
that projected will power, and a volcanic temper.
He proclaimed Israel’s independence in May 1948, ignoring
last-minute admonitions from the USA and overruling doomsday predictions by his
closest associates. Within hours of his
independence declaration, the military forces of 5 Arab nations invaded the
newly created state of Israel, joining Palestinian militias in an open attempt
to destroy the Jews. David Ben-Gurion personally led his army and although 1%
of the Jewish population had ultimately died, thousands of Arabs lost their
lives for a lost cause and more than a million Palestinians lost their homes
due to their own stupidity to take on the Jews, the Jews prevailed.
Since 1948 there were various attempts by the Arab nations
and Palestinians up to today to destroy Israel but Israel prevailed and is
still prevailing and grew from strength to strength while the Palestinians and
their supporters, even in South Africa for example the Economic Freedom Party under Julius Malema, are suffering in their own stupidity.
Viva Israel, Viva!!
COMMENTARY
Israel was created as
a model country by a visionary statesman and forces from outside tried and are
still trying to destroy but, but in vain.
South Africa was also
created as a model country but here forces from inside tried and have succeeded
to destroy South Africa!
'Thou must have no other gods besides Me.' Israel is not going to let its heathen enemies walk all over it. Out of all the people of the world, the tribes, the religions and the false 'gods', the Jews were chosen to show the world the ONLY way to the real God of Heaven. I love Jew-rusalem, the Jews, Israel and their Bible, without them I would still be lost. (William in London) I like your posts. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/wl158522/_saved/
ReplyDeleteNot every religion is of God. Genesis 35:10: And God said unto him, 'Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name' and God called his name Israel. He was called Israel, NOT Palestine. God's enemies calls it Palestine. The heathen do not have any sacred sites. The Wall is Wailing because it has a great big heathen dome on top of it. And it is called Temple mount, not Mosque mount because it was built before Palestine even existed or Muhammad born. (Mount Moriah) Should Jerusalem be the capital of only Israel? Yes! No multi-faith services with Satan's religions. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/wl158522/_saved/
ReplyDeleteIn 1948 the Kingdom of Egypt, Transjordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia all committed military forces to the invasion of the State of Israel ... THEY LOST. "And I will Bless them that Bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all Families of the Earth be Blessed." Don't mess with the Jews, they are still the Chosen People of God. The so-called Palestinians worship Muhammad's moon-god allah. Deuteronomy 17:3:They have gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/wl158522/_saved/
