    As a Chinese, it was the first time I heard Ben-Gurion express his views on China. It was indeed very rare. What was interesting was that the "people's communes" established by the CCP in the countryside at that time and the Israeli "kibbutz" were similar in nature. If it weren't for the Cold War confrontation, perhaps they would have been able to communicate happily.

    So those few didn't have enough faith to wait for the Messiah to come but instead took it upon themselves to form a Jewish state. Doesn't that in itself disqualify these men as men of faith. That's not a question.

      @rc-vd8vm Před 5 lety +1

      If God could call Nebuchadnezzar as his servant being a pagan and a Gentile, why can't he use David Ben Gurion in the fulfillment of a prophecy? It is not because of their righteousness that God has given them the land but He had a promise to Abraham.

    • @rc-vd8vm
      @rc-vd8vm Před 5 lety +1

      @mccolock maq I think you are one of those that hope for Israel's inheritance using Gentile man made teachings of modernized Christianity inconsistent with the God of Abraham.

    • @rc-vd8vm
      @rc-vd8vm Před 5 lety

      @mccolock maq if they must retake the land promised to them, there will be conflict. And can it be said that their only reason for being is the old testament? When God was angry with them Moses prayed for them and so did Jesus on the cross. But of course, there's nothing biblical in the point you are raising.

    • @rc-vd8vm
      @rc-vd8vm Před 5 lety +1

      @mccolock maq I think the fulfillment of this prophecy is a good continuation of the biblical story of the Israelites. Otherwise, nations will make a mockery of God and say He brought them out of slavery for nothing.

    A quote (azquotes.com) from David Ben Gurion:
    "Since I invoke Torah so often, let me state that I don't personally believe in the God it postulates ... I am not religious, nor were the majority of the early builders of Israel believers. Yet their passion for this land stemmed from the Book of Books ... [The Bible is] the single most important book in my life."
    This is the mindset of the Zionist movement that has continued down to this very day; a conquest of the land with no regard for the God who owns the land and the covenant faithfulness required for its continuous inheritance.

    Definitely he was a lion of a man in a time unscathed by the pernicious gender ideology we are being indoctrinated with these days. He speaks with strength and such confidence! The questions are sadly inaudible, but it’s good to listen to Ben Gurion’s answers. 🙌🏻 The bit about China’s being a ‘great’ power I am not so sure of, and I wonder what Ben Gurion would think of today’s Putinist Russia.

      Oh God, why do conservatives have such a sick and lingering obsession with LGBT people nowadays? Can you not avoid mentioning "gender ideology" under any circumstance whatsoever? What does it even have to do with Ben-Gurion?Surely the world has more pressing troubles than people choosing to live in accordance with their heart's desires?

    So how do you go from 20,000 to 56,000 to 650,000 without pushing out people already there? Sounds a lot like colonial settlers. And we all know colonial settlers aren't allowed in heaven.

    • @bensonfang1868
      @bensonfang1868 Před 8 měsíci

      They didn’t push people out before 1948 unless it was tenants on land they bought. The area was not super densely populated. The woodhead commission found that both arab and Jewish populations in the region had gone up due to economic growth

    A hundred years ago, on November 2nd, 1917 a "secular" British state issued a declaration known as the "Balfour declaration." The declaration was contained in a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild. In it, it stated the Majesty's intentions to work for a "Jewish" national home in the holy land. The question here arises is, why would a leading secular state strive for the establishment of a religious state?
    Two months later, a British army led by General Alanby defeats the Ottoman Islamic Army and liberates the holy land. When the General entered into Jerusalem, he declares "today the crusades are over." Oh but the crusades were supposed to be christian wars no? and Britain is not a christian state rather a secular state! How can a secular state continue the wars started by the Pope a thousand years ago?
    Between 1918 and 1948, for a period of almost 30 years the holy land was ruled by the island of Britain, on the mandate conferred by the 'League of Nations' (Now United Nations) and during that period of time, while pretending to keep the Jews out Britain opened the gates of Jerusalem for the European Jews, to reclaim it as their own. In between, came the interlude of Adolph Hitler which sped up the movement of the Jews from Europe to the Holy Land.
    In 1948, Britain did something strangest of all. Being a state with tremendous commitment to the rule of law, it left the Holy Land like a thief in the dark. For the first time in British history, there was no legal transfer of power from Britain to the successor state. Some say, in 1948 Britain acted as a midwife for the baby to be born...The European Jewish state of Israel. This was how this plague of a nation came into being, all this stupid man is babbling about is complete BS!!

      Don't understand your point. However, you are wrong. Britain left India in a nearly identical way. The transfer of power, the transfer of the populations between India and Pakistan was a disaster because of lack of planning, an ridiculous time frame, no military and police deployed for security. They picked up an left like their lives depended on it. Is that some kind of Christian-Jewish conspiracy too?

      The UK is not a secular state. It is whatever states the ruling class requires it to be. It is a 'Christian' monarchy where the monarch is head of The Church of England, the state religion.

    • @boazmunro478
      @boazmunro478 Před rokem +1

      1. The UK is Anglican, not secular.
      2. The Jewish people are not strictly religious. We’re a tribal people that predates modern categories of religion, race, or nation.
      3. Britain established many Arab states too, all of which are officially Muslim. But you’re not complaining about that, so it seems your issue is not really with religious states…
