{{quote| ''In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles. ''}}
 
'''David Ben Gurion''' was born in Poland in 1886. In response to the anti-semitism he fled to Palestine and became a [[Determined Homesteader]]. During the feuding with local Arabs he was a [[Vigilante Man]] in the Hashomer militia, an embryo version of the Hagganah which was in turn later to become [[Israelis With Infrared Missiles]] . He served in the British army in [[World War I]] and then came back to take part in local politics,in which he rose rapidly.
 
During the Mid-century directed the policy of the pre-independence "Yishuv"(a labor union alliance that was evolving into a de facto state), and that of the new state of [[Israel]] . He led during [[World War II]] and during the [[Arab -Israeli Conflict|War of Independance]] and helped build a nation that survives to this day.
 
Ben Gurion was in some ways an [[Insufferable Genius]] but he was in the right place at the right time. His personality was more like [[The Spock]] then [[The McCoy]] and he led policy through his brilliant grasp of strategy, a gift which Israel badly needed in it's formative years.
 
Nerds who don't keep up with middle-eastern history or politics may recognize him as the visual inspiration for the [[Green Lantern|Guardians of the Universe]]...or [[Ghost in Thethe Shell|Section 9 Chief Aramaki Daisuke]].

* [[La Résistance]]
* [[The Magnificent]]: Ben-gurion means "son of a lion." Of course, he chose it because it sounded like "Grün," but between "Son of a Lion" and the literal translation "Green" (especially when the Hebrew word for "green" is the rather uninspiring "Yaroq"), which would ''you'' choose?
