An important review that escaped inclusion in his list of publications. Took courage, too, given Lewis's own relationship to Chatham House. twitter.com/lewisremembere…

“Netanyahu is set to pass Ben-Gurion as Israel’s longest-serving PM on Sep. 24. But only if B-G’s term as head of the provisional government, from May 14, 1948, to Mar. 10, 1949, is not counted.” It counts. jpost.com//Israel-News/A…

David Ben-Gurion in People’s Council, May 14, 1948 (debate preceding declaration of independence): “The language of the state is Hebrew. This doesn’t deprive other inhabitants of the right to use their language in every place.” pic.twitter.com/cUh77YnSqC

Ben-Gurion, Aug. 1, 1967: #Israel should keep #Jerusalem, #Gaza (!) West Bank “autonomous but not independent province” (of Israel). Sinai, Golan returned only for “real” peace. (Later in Aug., will say Israel must keep #Golan.) Not B-G of Arthur Hertzberg via @Max_Fisher pic.twitter.com/1zPnY0Yh0a

Read my piece, carefully. Historians generally require proof that something happened. It’s not like everything and anything is true, unless proven otherwise.

Mozer’s adviser was Avi Shilon, who wrote book in Hebrew called Ben-Gurion: Epilogue, the title of which Mozer borrowed. This is what Shilon says now. pic.twitter.com/nb4aAQzZot

And that concludes my war on error to correct Ben-Gurion mistake @max_fisher on p. A1 of @nytimes. Didn’t expect correction; getting it right its own reward. Thnx 4 many RTs. medium.com/@Martin_Kramer…

I read it, it is one-volume big sweep, B-G’s last years hardly treated (rightly so). See instead Avi Shilon, who wrote entire book on B-G’s finale. Attached, by Shilon. pic.twitter.com/numH7ab04O

Related: Last year a bogus quote attributed to Ben-Gurion '67 appeared in the Independent via Richard Falk. @ukmediawatch burst that bubble (I'm cited), and paper made a (small) correction ukmediawatch.org/2017/03/29/did…
