Golda Meir quotes about
fools-and-foolishness liberation
Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness
bear liberation likely men
Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one's likely to do anything about that.

Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
humorous israel choices
If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we'd rather be alive and have the bad image.
humorous israel victory
We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.
