People do not know that during the entire time Golda Meir was Prime Minister she was suffering from lymphoma, cancer. She received her treatments every Monday. But, her iron will and her commitment to Israel kept her going, even during the Yom Kippur War when the outcome was uncertain and national catastrophe loomed.
@@theredboneking Are you being your best self? You can be opposed, even vehemently opposed, to a person's policies, values and conduct without being ad hominem or invoking a fictional character in support of your purported argument.
the photograh at 3:26 shows my grandmother Sadie Ottenstein (nee Gerson) to the right of Goldie Meir around 1916 when my grandmother was 15 and golda was 18 They were close friends my grandparents made aliya to israel in 1950 when they were 60 and 50, but it didn't work out and they went back to Milwaukee where I was born and grew up my grandmother passed away in 1993 at age 92 Jonathan Ottenstein this picture was in my granmothers house
Yes..just watch the movie and had to know more about her life…what a strong intelligent woman with a beautiful soul..to me was the grandmother of Israel…
Golda Meir was a marvellous combination of courage, hard work, statesmanship, patriotism nd foresightedness. She was a great friend of my country India too.
Patriotic? She was born in Ukraine and emigrated to the U.S.A. She had a Palestinian passport! She was patriotic how? By agreeing to the forceful and violent expulsion of an indigenous people, to occupy a country with European refugees?
@@tinakollia9420 There was no place of the name of Palestine nd this name is carved much later nd the fact is Jews r the indigenous people of so called Palestine as Isreal existed much before Palestine came in to being though Jews were driven out of their homes nd hearths by repeated attacks by outside raiders nd Jews got back a part of their land by the will of UNO. Golda Meir was patriotic as she led her country through a most crucial time of its history nd it does not matter where she was born or lived nd what matters is she did her duty well nd with dedication.
Awesome video. Thanks for doing it. My grandmother was also born in Ukraine and then moved to Milwaukee. She was so proud of her friend Golda Meir. But my grandmother was far from a valedictorian in school. Fortunately her truant officer was Lizzie Black Kander, who went on to found the Settlement Cookbook, with help from my grandmother. That's far from helping found the State of Israel. She lived a good life and she still lives through my memories of her cooking and her love of her grandchildren.
Janet Rosenberg Was A Jewish Woman, who became the first female president of the Republic of Guyana 🇬🇾 she was loved by all indoGuyanese, Janet Rosenberg was a Russian Jew! She was considered the mother of the Guyanese Nation, similarly to Golda Meir the mother of the Jewish Nation!, Who had a burning Desire To See India and Israel Form an Alliance 🇮🇳🇸🇻🇬🇾
@@theredboneking Sorry, but that was Truman who recognized Israel 11 minutes into its statehood. Stalin took three days. USSR was first country to grant Israel de jure recognition, USA recognized it after their first election, 8 months later.
@@zakariazaki7513 all terrorists will call Golda Meir as 'criminal' because she defeated the combined forces of terrorists' nd their supporters nd this shows that even the name of late Iron Lady of Israel is enough to frighten the terrorists.
When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. Golda Meir
Wow, Absolutely Right My Friend We Should All be inspired by Her Evil Well And Monster Of a Soul ..!! Your So Smart Mate, i Would Blindly Follow You to The End behind Her Iron Spirit Of course ...
Beautifully done. A skillful, sensitive and moving unpacking of a complex figure, a strong character who defied simple categorization. Kudos to the team.
Hmm 🤔 all prophesied in Revelation. “Who say they are J’s and are not, but do lie”. The icing on the cake is the Satanic symbol of moloch on their flag.
He didn’t mention the official Ottoman census in 1878 where it shows a tiny 0.3% Jewish population. Or the fact that the UN gave 55% of the best land to the new immigrants. Or Dr Ilan pappe findings where the Palestinians were violently forced out. Which is against International Law not to mention the Balfour declaration agreement.
She is one of the reason I have toughened up. A true inspiration!! Beautiful video. Very inspiring. I needed something good to start my day but landed on something truly great.
Great video, thank you. Golda Meirs name just randomly came to my mind today, as it sometimes does. So I thought it has been I while since I looked for her on RU-vid. What a perfect timing to discover your newest video.
Funny thing, her name comes to my mind too, from time to time and I don't know why. And here I am watching this video I came across without searching for it.
Great story...well put together.. I am no lover of politics or politicos and so don't care about her political career, but definitively admire her will to serve...to succeed...to be a force to reckon..! Being an atheist i have no interest in ANY religion, but as the Jews have been victimized for two millennia i applaud their resilience and fortitude. They are survivors and have my respect.
A most Magnificent, brilliant and beautiful soul… Humanity took a huge loss when she was No More… May Her Memory Be Eternal… May She know everlasting peace and eternal rest… A Life well lived….
I have always admired Golda Meir....she is my idol....I followed her career and her political days....she is an amazing woman....I also admired Madeleine Albright....They are a big loss to this world....I am sure God is please with the job they did on earth.
She was a great patriot but her story is conflicted.She sacrificed her marriage and parenting.Most importantly she is blamed for not mobilizing the army sooner when she knew the war was to start on Yom Kippur.I have read that she did not preemptively strike first because of Kissinger’s threats not to help.Over 2300 soldiers were killed,including my cousin,as a result.We all know she suffered greatly as a result but this is cold comfort to everyone who lost a son or brother.
I'm so sorry to hear that happened to your cousin. You're right that she, as many dedicated leaders do, had to sacrifice much and sometimes made the wrong decisions with dire consquences
It was Democrat President Harry S. Truman who chose to recognize the independence of Palestine as The State of Israel 🇮🇱 and this was above the objections of the Joint Chiefs. He was the LAST Democrat with any integrity and any sense of moral and ethical duty.
I've seen the movie "A Woman called Golda" a very beautiful and inspiring movie, unfortunately the movie got a lot of criticisms and protests, why not? The actress who played Golda was a "pro palestinian" ironic isn't?
@@agnescruz6042 That movie was made in 82. I’m not surprised a pro-Palestine person was casted. Helen Mirren plays Golda in the new production that has yet to be released. I know Mirren recognizes Palestine, but she also defends Israel’s existence and culture.
Thanks for this simple, honest and wonderful hommage to Golda Meir, as important as Moses in the Jewish People history, and making clear to anti -Israel people and organizations, how humanly built is Israel!
Yes she was the first male in the cabinet Very strong powerful and far sighted she brought to knees the president of Egypt Nassar I love and respect her Come from indila stays in BostonUSA
I know that the Americans gladly pull up everyone who is of high value, and stamp them as Americans.... she comes from the Russian Empire where she was born in 1898
I always thought Golda was wonderful. My mother was a fan. When Isreal won the 6 Day and Yom Kippur Wars, my mom was estactic! Then, in the late 70s, we moved to Denver and I found out Golda had lived here! Her house had been preserved, with a plaque on the front fence. Made me feel closer to her. Of blessed memory.
@@amanynaguib690 It was given back in peace. What are you talking about? If the Americans didn't intervene diplomatically in Yom Kippur war, as Soviets threatened to retaliate, Israel would have taken Cairo and Damascus... Even today they are in peace. One of the best ideas for the 2 state solution is to give Gaza to Egypt and West Bank be its own country as Palestine; though it was rejected as PLO wanted Gaza as well, and the issue of Jerusalem.
I'm not Jewish but I have big respect for this great woman because She was one of a kind kudos to her RIP grandmother of Israel and all the Jewish in the world
She is my inspiration, my ideal, my hero, I admire her like no other and equal to my late mother. Her resilience, courage, love for the Jewish people and a strong intellectual, professional and ideological integrity and offcourse Zionism is like a guiding light for many but foremostly me personally. However like every other Jew and an aspirant convert to Judaism myself I don't worship her as an idol and really think that she would/could have done some things differently to secure ISRAEL even more and place ISRAEL security to another level. Thank you so much for this great video Unpacked, highly greatful 🙂
@@estherdarleneammon2559 inspiration? USA had to save her a$$ all the time. Her actions caused a economy crisis in 1973. I won't even go on and on about all her cruel war crimes.
I went thru old pictures of my graandparents and great & great grandparents. I found a picture of my Great-great-great Grandma Jeminna from Soussa, Russia now Ukraine. She looks identical to Gold Meir.
We need the truth to be spoken now more than ever and unfortunately in the current climate of a pc world we live in people who speak the truth are seen in a negative way...so I only wish we could have the bravery of the wonderful lady who was Golda meir. I wonder what she would think now...?....she was just amazing..Rip..
The truth is that almost every person in Israel is not original, but people who converted to Judaism over a thousand years ago. A Israeli geneticist has proven this fact. The truth is that it was a lie to say that Jews and Palestinians were fighting for thousands of years. The official Ottoman census shows a minuscule 0.3% Jewish population in 1878. It was only just prior to the creation of Israel that Palestine saw a mass immigration of k Zrs .
@@theredboneking Not long ago many DNA testing has been done in the west bank and Gaza and many Palestinian Muslims were found to have Jewish DNA and lots of elders have knowledge of their ancestors through family stories and knowledge of their ancestors conversions to Islam. Islam arrived in Palestine in 636 during the reign of the 2nd caliph of Islam Omar ibin al kattab they attacked Jerusalem which was under the rule of Byzantine Romans and after a 4 month seige of butchery and bloodshed the city came under Islamic rule. By the 9th century the shia caliphate the fatamid dynasty invaded Palestine and massacred Christians for siding with the Roman Byzantine who had attempted to regain their conquered land... Judaism and Christianity had been present in Jerusalem and Israel Judea and Samaria many years before Islam was even born so to claim that Israel and Palestine are Muslim lands is both a lie and completely false... After the defeat of the first crusaders Muslims became the majority and the entire Mediterranean coast was captured followed by a series of the massacres of the Christian people.and a genocide that spread all the way to Damascus and beruit.. Islam became the established religion of Palestine by the 9th century and developed into becoming the majority religion of the area through the mamluk era of between 1250-1516. So Islamic caliphs didn't enter Palestine as preachers and converted people into Muslims they inhereted Palestine after they invaded Palestine numerous times and the people may have converted to Islam but in no way can Palestine ever be considered Muslim lands
And being as numerous geneticists have proven that the people currently living in Israel are mostly from Khazarian ancestrally, it’s even less theirs. International law prohibits the removal or relocation of existing citizens. The Balfour declaration prohibits the removal or relocation of existing citizens. Dr Ilan pappe proved that the Palestinians were violently forced to leave. Even with the mass immigration just prior to the creation of Israel, the Jewish (Khazarian) population only went up to 30%. The UN gives 55% of Palestine to the new immigrants???
@@theredboneking Everything you wrote is utterly false. Genetics proves the Jews are the native people of Israel, and the Arabs (who falsely take the name palestinian) are from Arabia, not Israel. In addition, the Ottoman records show the majority of the people, living in Israel, were Jews, not Arabs.
I’m not Jewish but I think that the way she looked at Zionism puts a positive side to it. After all that Jewish people have been through, the idea that they would want to rescue each other seems dignified and correct.
Golda was an icon, an iron lady and alioness. I am proud she was my Prime Minister in 1973. If skmeone ealse had hold Israeli leadership those days, may be Israel would not have overcome this war. Golda was braver than all men in her government. Nobody could have come close to her. Nobody could have handeled a candel for her. RIP Golda! UR Israel nation will stay for ever. Bravo lioness!!!
From the Old Testament Book of Genesis in every translation of the Bible you might come up with IF it was translated by competent and knowledgeable translators. "To those who Curse Israel I will Curse Thee and to those who Bless Israel I will Bless Thee."................ and also "Salvation if from the Jews." which is quoted from the New testament in the Book of Revelation written by St. John. By the way all the writer's of both the Old Testaments were Jewish with the exception of possibly St. Luke. Not much more needs to be said.
Mindboggling. What a strong soul. I wish i could make solid decisions & stick by them anywhere near her confidence to set out & build a country from scratch.
As a young girl, I read about Golda and was impressed by her. Btw, I am very much a capitalist. Free medical care does not mean one supports Socialism. It means one does not believe the relief of suffering should be a profit making enterprise. Not one one person in the world is exempt from the potential of illness.
I appreciate your thoughts. Also, societies work better when the fire department, police, schools, libraries and military are supported by the people collectively. One huge step would be to get the money out of politics so that the needs of communities are better served by their representatives who are not corrupted by moneyed interests.
Watching this I just realized how petty and pathetic for anyone in America to even sniff at or suggest the oppression of women/ Black people in America today right now self oppression and the victim mindset are prevalent!! I Strongly disagree with Socialism Because it always ends in starvation.But This fight was extraordinary she is very impressive!! BLM not so much!!
And yet Putin said publicly that the 1st Soviet government was 90% Jewish. Stalin himself was one. His real name is self explanatory. He passed a law making anti Semitism the death penalty. He was the first world leader to recognize Israel.
Demeaning narrative of the late great Golda Meir! Golda Meir was no ordinary woman. The video's narrative presents a demeaning and very superficial picture of the late great Golda Meir. Making a point to describe Golda Meir as "not perfect" "regardless of her political legacy as Prime Minister..." was an insult. The narrator further reduces her status by describing her as "the mother of Africa" and worse... "Israel's Jewish Grandmother". This is not only an inaccurate description of the late Prime Minister of Israel, but a disgraceful attempt to insult the legacy and memory of a courageous legend and brilliant human being who happened to be a woman named Golda Meir. ✡
my sister who graduated in university of Kiev in 1972 always talked about her Jewish freinds in Kiev..she was biochemist. my sister died in Moscow while finishing her PhD. in 1985 she was 35
All praise to Almighty God ; O Africa where is your love for who you are , and your people . Almighty God choose us as a people unto himself as the apple of his eyes and gave to us this earth , and said go be fruitful and multiply. We did that ; but we also aloud disunity to come among us . It seek for tile ground and found it ,and grow uncheck . This disunity was aloud to spread with our help ; we gave up Almighty God for the Governance of man and we have lost our way. There is one Almighty God and no other we must give praise to him and no other. All praise to Almighty God amen .
