Golda Meir The state of Israel, established on May 14, 1948, had many great leaders that helped it to become a state. One of them was Golda Meir. Golda Meir was one of the most energetic and hardworking women in the world. Without her help, it is possible that Israel would have never survived as a state in an area surrounded by Arabs. With all of the hard work that Golda did for her country, she still had time for a family. When Golda Meir (born Golda Mabovich) was in my opinion one of the most
Have you ever heard of Golda Meir? If you have then you know why her name and story is recorded on the shelves of time. For me, I have only just learned of this remarkable person as a result of my returning to community college and being tasked with a paper on a woman in history. The analysis of Golda Meir is an enriching experience. It raises questions and thoughts that cross many boundaries of geographic location and time about ethnic reunification, the recreation of a nation, and a perfect platform
pioneering women in 20th-century politics, Golda Meir. As one of Israel’s leading founders and its “Iron Lady”, Meir was an exceptional woman who, despite her faltering health, intently led her country through struggles and discord. Since adolescence, she had been involved in Zionist movement groups, and throughout her career, she played a major role in the creation of the country we now know as Israel. In 1969, after retreating into retirement twice, Meir took charge as Israel’s first female Prime
only female Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Golda Meir is remembered as a powerful yet controversial leader of the government. Whether it be the Yom Kippur War or Operation Wrath of God, Golda Meir’s actions are praised by some but condemned by others. The role that Golda Meir played in Israel’s fight for independence will always be remembered and still majorly impacts both the Israeli people and its government today. In 1898, Golda Meir was born in Kiev, Russia to Moshe and Blume Mabovitch
and when to hold off -- is a crucial skill." (Goodwin). Leaders must care about their people (and of course show them that they care): "A leader who does not hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader" (a quote of Golda Meir) (Spanoudis). This sets an example for the followers to care about their leader too.
Golda Meir was a woman with a lifelong commitment and an unfailing dedication in bringing her dream to a reality. Her dream was for Israel to be a safe homeland for the Jewish nation, including the Zionist Movement, which she wanted people to clearly understand. Zionism served as a strong belief that the Jews should gain their fatherland in Israel that they had lost to the Romans in 70 A.D. Golda Meir never lost sight of this goal, and did countless things for Israel. If only we could have her compassion
The Munich Massacre was executed by a group of Palestinian terrorists, who were able to infiltrate the Olympic village and take nine hostages. Several counter-terrorism organizations and operations were a result of the attack on the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games. The group responsible for the Munich massacre was a team of eight individuals, part of a terrorist group known as the Black September Organization, a.k.a. BSO. The BSO began as a small group of Fatah members enraged by the king of Jordan
recovery attempt by the Germans. The three remaining terrorists were released in exchange for a hijacked plane (Rosenberg, 2010). Israel’s response was Operation Wrath of God. In a swift response to the Munich Massacre the “Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir gave instructions for Israeli agents to hunt down and kill those behind it” (Palestine, 2010). Israel planned a covert action against those responsible. According to Lowenthal, the paramilitary operation is the most violent with the least amount
Israel, a country said to be touched by the very presence of god himself, has become an ultimately diverse nation of its own throughout time. With immigrants coming into the country from all over the world, The Holy Land has undergone the implementation of a wide range of cultures. This eventually led to the integration of a mixture of religions, traditions, values, and beliefs. Although, most significantly, the widespread cultural demographic has resulted in the country’s development of diversified
Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is one of the oldest and most effective information gathering methods used by society. Most countries rely heavily on HUMINT, in both military and law enforcement, operations and their successes can be credited mainly to the application of exceptional HUMINT. The United States has developed multiple intelligence disciplines over time, yet even now we still utilize HUMINT as the preferred method of collection while supporting it with other intelligence collection platforms
the proverbial speck in our peer’s eyes while allowing it to become the log in our own. In his chapter on pride, Os Guinness surfaced areas in where I struggle with this vice in my own life. I found quotes from C.S. Lewis, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, and James Taylor’s 8th and 13th Acts of Humility to be particularly eye opening. While reading the chapter I often found myself comparing my self-perceived relationship with pride to other’s public relationship with this vice. I realized that I
The Palestine refugee problem was created in the course of the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. When the UN voted to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab states in 1947, Palestinian Arabs and Jews opposed the plan. The war that ensued was won by Israel, creating a large number of Arab refugees. Estimates account for more than 700,000 Palestinian Arabs who fled or were forced out of their homes during the fighting. These refugees often fled to surrounding Arab countries such as Lebanon
during the 1972 summer Olympics in Munich. Eleven members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and murdered by members of the armed militant groups the Black September, and the Palestine liberation Organization. Israel’s Prime Minister Golda Meir responded to the atrocious act by sending out the Mossad (institute for intelligence and special operations). The Mossad were assigned to carry out the covert operation called Operation Wrath of God. This operation called for the tactical take
Anwar el-Sadat tried to change the Arab world by making peace with his adversaries, the Israelis. Born in the poor peasant village of Mit Abdul-Kum, Anwar el-Sadat grew up appreciating the rare opportunities he was given. From an early age, Sadat was exposed to the difference between the rich and the poor peasants like him. After graduating from the University of London, Sadat ultimately failed in his acting career, so he joined the army. As a young boy, he was very nationalistic, believing in the
be considered as an equal, not just American women. Other countries, besides America, have made tremendous advancements. In 1979, Great Britain elected Margaret Thatcher as their first female prime minister, and in 1969, India did the same with Golda Meir (Greenblatt 779). Seeing the progress in such diverse countries also brings hope and ambition to the
inroads in working opportunities, including government, science and even the military. They are reshaping world history and are very proud. Internationally, women have achieved the highest office in several countries, such as: Indira Gandhi of India, Golda Meir of Israel, and Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain. Hilary Clinton is currently running for a senate seat in New York and if she is successful, could one day follow in her husband’s footsteps and become the first female President of the United States
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian.” Stated former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir after three fourths of one million Palestinians had been made refugees, over five hundred towns and cities had been obliterated, and a new regional map was drawn. Every vestige of the Palestinian culture was to be erased. Resolution 181, adopted in 1947 by the United Nations declared the end of British rule over Palestine (the region between the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River)

Ingrid Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden on August 29, 1915. Her mother, Friedel Adler Bergman, a Hamburg, Germany native, died when Ingrid was just three years old. Ingrid’s father, Justus Samuel Bergman, a Swede, raised Ingrid until his death, when she was 12. Justus, who owned a photography shop, encouraged Ingrid’s artistic pursuits and even caught some scenes of her as a small child with a motion picture camera. Many years later, the famous director Ingmar Bergman (no relation), with whom
