OPVL on ‘The Zionist Case: Golda Meir’
- Who: Golda Meir
- Where: Jerusalem (Before the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry
- When: March 25, 1946
- What: Golda Meir’s testimony to convince the major powers to support the development of a Jewish State
- Purpose: Golda Meir is trying to convince the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry that the Jews need a separate state
- Value: Allows us to see the original argument of Golda Meir for a Jewish state and the reasons why a Jewish State needs to be established
- Limitations: Golda Meir does not talk about the reason Palestine is the ideal place (besides that pioneers already chose it) and it is biased towards the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Golda Meir uses emotional appeal, so it is difficult to see the real facts behind the opionions. There is also no outline of what Golda Meir wants for the new state.
