Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:07:00 GMT

Stephen M. Asbel American support weakens Israeli resolve If you take a step back and look at the past 40 years, one can make the case that the American policy of providing assistance to Israel has had the effect, if not the express intent, of weakening Israel's political resolve, Golda Meir refused to launch a preemptive strike for fear of angering Washington, making Israel more easily bend to the...

Reason for Jews skepticism about Obama (PrairiePundit)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Jennifer Rubin: ... THESE OBAMA skeptics recall a similar time, 1973, when Israel also faced extermination. Prime minister Golda Meir had miscalculated Anwar Sadat's willingness to go to war and decided against a first strike against Egypt. The Arab nations attacked in October 1973, and within days Israel was facing defeat. The Israelis went to president Richard Nixon with a request for a massive infusion...

"Get Out of My Kitchen!" (My Right Word)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:51:00 GMT

That's what the late Golda Meir would say to Ehud Olmert. Noam Shalit is translated as calling Olmert one with "unbelievable worthlessness". The Hebrew is שלומיאליות ללא תיאור and I would transcribe that as: "indescribable incapability"

On the third day we were brought to the Herzl museum where some of our most respected Israeli leaders and fighters are buried. Golda Meir, Yitzchak Rabin and many other notables are buried in the majestic facade of the museum/cemetary. Two graves...

New Olmert Sticker (My Right Word)

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 05:29:00 GMT

It reads: "Shalem, Chaver" Which, of course, is a slight take-off on the famous Shalom, Chaver of Bill Clinton, in parting from Yitzhak Rabin. But, whereas Clinton said "Shalom", Olmert is saying "Shalem", which translates as "Pay!". It's tough being a Prime Minister (and demanding prime rates).

Film Review: Waltz with Bashir (KABOBfest)

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 06:30:00 GMT

Ari Folman's " Waltz with Bashir " premiered in Tel-Aviv this week. I attended the premier with much reluctance: I had a sinking feeling that I would be witnessing a filmmaker's rendition of Golda Meir's words: "We will never forgive the Palestinians for making us kill them." I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The film documents the struggle of filmmaker Ari Folman to come to terms with the gaps...

The first of them was published back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin gave the Syrians his renowned "deposit," an advance promise, which has haunted all subsequent Israeli governments,...

The Truth Herzl: Golda Meir's American Accent (English Webster)

Wed, 28 May 2008 21:16:40 GMT

I just read Nextbook' s account of the TV super-special ABC ran for Israel's 30th birthday, which included a live video conference between Barbra Streisand and Golda Meir. Golda Meir was a Ukrainian-born American woman who moved to Israel and eventually became its fourth prime minister at an advanced age. I had always assumed she must have really "Israelified" herself because she changed her name (formerly...

Peggy Noonan says Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher never complained about sexism - unlike that whiner Hillary Clinton.

They did not use guilt to win election -- it comes up zero...
