No Ben-Gurionist He

Former Shin Bet director, Labor Party candidate Ami Ayalon praised statements made by Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regarding plans to remove Jews from unauthorized homes in Hevron.

Ayalon stated, “We must explain to people that Hevron is not Jerusalem and Hevron is not Tel Aviv.”

Funny, David Ben-Gurion thought the exact opposite.

However, don't forget: the beginnings of Israel's greatest king were in Hebron, the city to which came the first Hebrew about eight hundred years before King David, and we will make a great and awful mistake if we fail to settle Hebron, neighbor and predecessor of Jerusalem, with a large Jewish settlement, constantly growing and expanding, very soon. This will also be a blessing to the Arab neighbors. Hebron is worthy to be Jerusalem's sister.
