golda meir wäscht ab © david rubinger
die premierministerin rauchte nicht nur drei schachteln filterlose chesterfield am tag, trank minimum 12 tassen kaffee dazu und wusch sie selber ab, sie empfing auch ihr kabinett und parteifreunde einmal die woche in ihrer kleinen kibbutz-küche und war für ihren gefillte fisch, käsekuchen und apfelstrudel berühmt.
und weil’s noch nicht mal 12 uhr ist, hier goldas frühstücksrezept (via british consumer league of israeli products):
„Ingredients: 3 tomatoes, 1 cucumber, 3 carrots, Head of lettuce, 1 green pepper, 7 radishes, 3 green onions, 1 hard boiled egg.
For the dressing: 3 tsp lemon juice, 3 tsp oil, 1 tsp mayonnaise. Salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop up the green onion and tear the lettuce. Grate the carrots and the egg and chop up the rest of the vegetables into small pieces. Put them all in a large salad bowl. Whip up the dressing ingredients and pour on the salad before serving. Toss gently.“ #7radieschen #küchenkabinett

Don’t be so humble – you are not that great.

Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!
Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.
Whether women are better than men I cannot say … but i can say they are certainly no worse.
A story once went the rounds of Israel to the effect that Ben-Gurion described me as ‚the only man‘ in his cabinet. What amused me about is that he (or whoever invented the story) thought that this was the greatest compliment that could be paid to a woman. I very much doubt that any man would have been flattered if I had said about him that he was the only woman in the government!
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.
It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them.
