Ben-Gurion, David. Autograph document by David Ben-Gurion, unsigned, in Hebrew, three separate pages, 8½ x 6½ in., on airmail paper, apparently notes in preparation for a written article or speech. In part: "For the first time the big party in Israel is gone and in its place came the MAARACH which calls itself 'Plan (literal meaning of MAARACH) for the unity of the workers of Israel' The name is misleading since even the two parties which formed the MAARACH together did not unite, they exist as 2 separate parties, but rigged a coalition that turned the democracy upside-down and put the minority to rule the majority both in the HISTADRUT [workers' union] and in the Knesset [Israeli Parliament]… Every party is free to vote as it pleases on the question of the election regime, only the majority party cannot vote as it has done all of the past years. [?] is a cult and always was a cult, breaking off of Mapai and rejoining it, breaking off, finally feeling there is no longer a place under the sun for them and founded the MAARACH. The friends that remain loyal to the national interest the need and historic destiny of the people - to be a nation those are RAFI. One may ask what our program is? Our program is etched on the boards of our history since the Jewish people wished for a state established it and the state grew. We were partners and initiators in all the changes that occurred in Israel since the second ALIYA (immigration). In the battle for Hebrew work, Jewish security and self-defense, woman's equality, working settlements for the gathering of the Diaspora and the absorption of newcomers and finally for the foundation of a state battling those who wanted a dual nation state… For the foundation of a uniform military opposing the resigning members from the left and right. For a uniform national education to all the peoples children. That is a need to ensure independent economics without which the state may be fiction. That is the need of our security - a strong IDF with international recognition. And if we are only few, we are make up with our quality. A moral and cultural quality constantly rising by the education of the younger generations. A progressive democracy merging different ethnicities and designing a character of a pioneer state, creating and being an representative to the Jewish world and other nations…" More excellent content. Minor handling marks expected, otherwise fine.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
