Frasi di Golda Meir

Golda Meir, nata Golda Mabovič, o con la grafia alternativa Golda Mabovitch , è stata una politica israeliana, quarto premier d'Israele e prima donna a guidare il governo del suo Paese, terza a ricoprire tale posizione a livello internazionale.

Diresse la politica israeliana in periodi particolarmente difficili, trovandosi ad affrontare varie crisi internazionali, come la crisi petrolifera successiva alla guerra del Kippur, i contrasti militari con Egitto e Siria e, soprattutto, il massacro di Monaco ai Giochi olimpici del 1972, quando un commando di terroristi palestinesi sequestrò ed uccise undici tra atleti e allenatori israeliani.A causa del suo carattere risoluto, le è stata spesso paragonata, nonostante le evidenti differenze ideologiche, il primo ministro britannico Margaret Thatcher: due "lady di ferro" della politica. Il suo piglio deciso era celebre anche in patria: gli israeliani, secondo una battuta ricorrente, solevano definirla "l'unico vero uomo in Israele", e anche David Ben-Gurion, ex primo ministro israeliano, era solito riferirsi a lei come "il miglior uomo al governo". Nonostante questa nomea, verso la fine della sua carriera, Golda Meir ha saputo mantenere un'aura materna, che la faceva apparire come "la nonna del popolo israeliano". È tuttora considerata una delle figure femminili più importanti del XX secolo. Wikipedia

When was there an independent Palestinian people with a Palestinian state? It was either southern Syria before the First World War, and then it was a Palestine including Jordan.

Golda Meir

As quoted in As Good as Golda : The Warmth and Wisdom of Israel's Prime Minister (1970) edited by Israel Shenker and Mary Shenker, p. 28
Contesto: We owe a responsibility not only to those who are in Israel but also to those generations that are no more, to those millions who have died within our lifetime, to Jews all over the world, and to generations of Jews to come.
