From the Archives: Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meri on "Face the Nation," October 1973 

50 Years exactly, and it's all so relevant, precise and shows nothing has changed - it's all just the same story.

17:00 “I don’t think this is a sentimental world” In response to tough questioning she is a true realist

Dear Golda,I will miss you forever

It looks like an interrogation rather than interview :) At that time these men could not squeeze out of themselves Madam Prime Minister. Magnificent woman!

Great piece of history - would love more 50s-60s-70s uploads

“Can we afford to live?” …what a marvelous leader!

I truly love this lady, how practical and honest this great leader is💙🤍💙

Fascinating. Tough, smart woman.

My goodness , they didn’t know about round table then, to not appear looking like a court with 3 opposing men facing a magnificent woman! She was a force to reckon with ❤

Each word she has spoken is so well chosen to convey the view of Israel

LOVE YOU GOLDA יהוה Dragan❤❤❤

Golda Meir was a genius woman! There have never been a great leader in Israel to match her!!

Great opening troll from Golda...."56, 67, 69...If it was necessary to fight a war and for Arab countries to lose to bring about a peace, they had these opportunities"

An Angel, a true inspiration, one of the most intelligent, brave, courageous, strong, fair, frontal, humble, wise and absolutely sumptuous females ever 🪽🇮🇱🪽❤Golda❤

This woman had a backbone and infinite love for Israel. She was also a brave heart. To me, she was not tough, she was just defending what’s right and she was very disciplined and hard working.

21:57 "Can we afford to live?" That one statement sums up the entirety of Israel's history

Shalom prime Minister Golda Meir

An eye-opening interview and she was clever in answering questions. She was indeed a great leader.

Thank you for sharing this important bit of history. Respectfully, I couldn't help but notice how she was interrupted several times and not allowed to finish her thoughts. Though sometimes it's understandable that some interviewees can be somewhat hostile, such was not the case here. Important to remember there's no substitution for good listening to foster communication.

It pisses me off that these men haven't once referred her by her proper title. It's always "Miss" or "Mrs" Meir. But she was the democratically elected leader of a sovereign nation. It's Madam Prime Minister/Prime Minister Meir. I can't imagine Europeans sitting down with President Nixon at the time and just calling him "Mr. Nixon" the entire time.

These MEN ATTACK HER AND ATTACK HER and she REMAINS STEADFAST and STRONG in her MESSAGE. She was a TRUE HERO and a TRULY EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT SOULDIER OF KINDNESS...❤❤❤❤❤

Such a smart woman.

I liked seeing Golda Meri.

So pride of Golda Meir, A Giabt in knowledge🙏💚💛💙🩵💋

I personally love this woman. A great leader.

Just like today… news caster always break in and dooooooo not let the INTERVIEWEE FINISH THERE SENTTNCE!!! They are ignorant of ISRAEL 🇮🇱 then and now 2023 !!!

Unbelievable, three against one

The setting of this is remarkable: to me it seems like a tribunal…?

a great woman. i admire Golda Meir!

Why was her last name spelled incorrectly in the video title? It’s online for few weeks! 😮

Am Yisrael chai... Forever!

How do you get her last name wrong in the title, and the description? Dyslexia? Never heard of proof reading?

"it seems like they are more interested in fighting than winning"

Whether some accept it or refuse to do so, we don’t depend essentially on any other nation, we depend on the Almighty. Who brought many back to Eretz Israel. We have always depended on God.

I lived in Israel in 1969 and she was awesome. But this fight will never end...

Thank you for sharing this important bit of history. And it is important enough to warrant pointing out the typo in both the title and summary text; it should read Golda Meir, not Golda Meri.

Please correct the spelling on the banner!!!!!!

The questions were not bad, but thrown to Golda as if the 3 guys were shooting a riffle.

" i know that one must not judge the attitude of the one who ask the question, but i dont believe that is what you meant." And she said it with a chuckle. She wasnt afraid these guys and their questions. she is strong and emotionally intelligent.

Love her ❤

Good to know CBS is consistent with their contempt towards Israel.

Miss Golda Mier Is A Very Intelligent Lady!

Cool. Enjoyed watching ✌️😎

I wish she was around now, 3 men across the table look so small against her grace and power

I was 6 mnths old when Golda spoke here.

It’s so nice to see 50 years later all of this was figured out, and it is just a memory…..

Great human being❤❤❤❤

She had no idea that Syria would eventually take themselves out harder than Israelis ever could.

Wonderful woman

She was my prime minister when I moved to Israel in 1971 - and frankly even with the mistakes that were made prior to the Yom Kippur War she was the best. I know as I was there, I do not have to read a book on that war - I lived it, as did my late husband and newborn son. The same cast of characters and bad actors bullied Israel in 1973. The Arab oil embargo and pushing the cease fire - and just like today it was a surprise attack from the south and the north. I watched Operation Nickle Grass fly over Tel Aviv with cargo/transport planes from the USA and the Azores - delivering tanks etc.. in mid October 1973 - we had severe losses over 2800 IDF soldiers killed and 8 thousand plus IDF soldiers and civilians were wounded. I watched as Anwar Sadat visited us and addressed the Knesset in November 1977, we gave the entire Sinai back to Egypt - peace??? Where is Egypt today? They and Jordan kept their gates closed to the Gazans and have joined forces with the ANC in SA against Israel. I wish she was here now. No-one can match her and her resolve. Am Yisrael Chai, and we are here to stay.

A blessed memory

You have misspelled the prime minister’s name ??! Fix it

PM Golda Meir - what a hero! She defeated 2 armies: Assad and Sadat. She was so strong and so courageous. She won! And then she forced her enemy Sadat to become an ally. That is why I am a Feminist. Women like Golda are such brilliant diamonds! 🇺🇸💕🇮🇱💐💐💐❤️

גולדה שלנו.

Fascinating.

the only thing was the circumstances and time she took office otherwise Meir is a statesperson of solid calibre and eloquence

She’s absolutely spectacular

There are still letters available in the archives of Golda Meir's letters sent from Cairo addressed to Palestine

She was a "IRON LADY". of ISRAEL

40 years later and we are at the same place. Sad. Brave and amazing woman and leader.

A time when news organizations weren't out to make themselves look good by making those they interviewed look bad, by butting in and not letting the interviewed answer questions.

Please correct the title and video details: Golda Meir (not Meri)

Fascinating

Meir, Why is that difficult?

No country should be bullied? Ironic!

She's rolling in her GRAVE. She was HEROIC. If these WOKE PROTESTORS ONLY KNEW WHO SHE WAS....❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Nothing changed... The media still treats Israel the same way these two guys attitude. The current Israeli PM gets the same style of questions from the media... Nothing changed.

Golda MEIR - not MERI

An iron lady indeed.

Wise pm 🙏

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anyone know the name of the announcer for the broadcast? I know of a number of different CBS staff announcers, but this voice is new to me.

Meri? Come on!

The reporters interviewing Golda Meir don't seem that knowledgeable.

the mother of Israel, every great nation were given birth and raised by a mother of the nation.

An amazing women! If only we get around now! Hamas would never had dared the atrocity they committed on Oct 7 2023!

Please fix the name in description

Title is wrong her name is golda meir

Face the typo...it's Golda Meri in interview then?

9:44 prisoners that are undisclosed… that Red Cross have not visited and made sure they were alright and got treatment… that sounds like Hamas imho!

Many Egyptians are still taught they won the Yom Kippur War 😂😂. Glad Golda Meir said the truth here, that Israel won.

Strong powerful woman nothing but the highest respect

The dude in the second half on the right looks just like jimmy McGill from better call Saul

Interesting how Gen. Haig Jr. (whom I DON'T like to this day because of his 1981 phrase, "Right now, I am in control HERE at the White House--") looked lots like one of Mrs. Meir's countrymen and future successor to the post of Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu.

This was from October 28, 1973.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"...Golda Meri..." in the title and description.

Deface the nation

After decades of hate, now we see how hate begets hate.

A superwoman. Am Israel Chai 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I💛Golda💛💫✨🫶👍

She looks like my father mother, grandmother Teresa Romero. RIP

Israel has always had enemies trying to eliminate it, but we’re still here. Guess why.

Golda Meir, that is her name

This interview must be before Yom Kippur, it mentioned October 1973, how come ? It must be before 7 October 1973

It looks like an interrogation 🤨

50 years ago

Change spelling of Meri to Meir...

tough woman

No lie can live forever.
