A propos de cet article
Description :
Typed letter, in Hebrew, signed "D. Ben-Gurion" as Minister of Defense on State of Israel letterhead, one page, 6" x 8", August 26, 1955. Translation of the Hebrew text: "I have no doubt that the problem of security disturbs your rest. True, the problem of security, at this time, is the principal problem of the State. Any person - just like an entire nation - can feel the danger waiting at his door. We are a small nation, and any boasting we do will only make a laughingstock out of us. But we are not powerless, not in the military sense, and certainly not in the moral and political sense. I, however, am calm and certain that, when it comes to the test, the Israel Defense Forces will be able to defend our peace and our sovereignty - the Israel Defense Forces is the army of the people, and of all its circles and factions." File holes along right margin, otherwise fine condition. A dramatic letter with excellent content from the first Prime Minister of Israel. N° de réf. du vendeur 33

Ben-Gurion, David. Typed letter signed, May 19, 1942, documents leadership communication immediately following the Biltmore Conference, a decisive moment in the political consolidation of Zionist objectives toward the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Written while serving as head of the Jewish Agency, Ben-Gurion's correspondence falls four days after the conclusion of the conference held in New York from May 6 to May 11, 1942, where he played a central role in advancing the Biltmore Program. That program called for the fulfillment of the Balfour Declaration and explicitly urged the creation of Palestine as a Jewish commonwealth with unrestricted Jewish immigration. The letter situates Ben-Gurion within the immediate aftermath of a strategic shift in Zionist policy, as leadership increasingly sought American political and financial support while moving away from reliance on British cooperation during World War II. Ben-Gurion, David. May 19, 1942. 1 page. 5 x 8 inches. Typed letter signed on Winthrop letterhead. The letter reads in part, "Thank you so much for your message of sympathy. With kind regards," signed "D. Ben-Gurion." Though brief in content, the document's timing anchors it to the immediate post-conference environment in which Ben-Gurion successfully advanced a program advocating Jewish immigration to Palestine and the establishment of a sovereign Jewish polity. The letter's association with the Biltmore Conference, convened at the Biltmore Hotel, connects it to a gathering where Ben-Gurion outmaneuvered more cautious leadership, including Chaim Weizmann, who opposed severing ties with Britain. The Biltmore Conference marked a turning point in Zionist political strategy by formalizing demands for statehood and repositioning the United States as a primary ally in the effort to establish Israel. The adoption of the Biltmore Program and its later approval by the Zionist General Council in November 1942 established a policy framework that would influence diplomatic and organizational efforts through the remainder of World War II and into the postwar period culminating in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. This letter, written at the moment of that policy shift, provides direct evidence of Ben-Gurion's leadership during a critical phase of Jewish political mobilization and international realignment. Light handling wear; text remains clear and legible; signature strong. Overall very good. Signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 11358
