David Ben Gurion, Israel s founding father and the architect of Israel s reconciliation with Germany, was a pragmatist through and through. He knew that forging a partnership with Germany, which included reparations that would help boost Israel s capabilities, could go a long way toward securing Israel s survival.

This autonomous institution became the forerunner of the political structure of the nascent Jewish state, and its leaders David Ben Gurion among them emerged as Israel s future political elite. Israel succeeded as a nation, with a vibrant and sometimes obstreperous parliamentary life, precisely because its leaders used this opportunity.

Married women study, for example, in the Negev College, where classes are separate, and in Ben Gurion University where there is a Student Body Association that accompanies the Bedouin women students.

Zionism is a case in point. If Menachem Begin s ultra nationalist Irgun had joined a coalition with Ben Gurion s pragmatic Mapai in 1947, Zionists would have rejected the partition of Palestine, and Ben Gurion would not have been allowed to declare the Jewish state in May 1948.

During Operation Cast Lead, rockets struck perilously close to Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport. For Israeli leaders, it was only a matter of time before Tel Aviv could and would be hit.

Once the Jewish state was established, the earliest European friends of Israel were often people on the left, who admired the communal life on the kibbutzim, and saw Israel as a great socialist experiment, led by wise old left wing idealists, such as David Ben Gurion. Residual guilt about the Holocaust bolstered this attitude.

The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport has recently granted 18 Bedouin students full scholarships in order to pursue higher studies at the Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva during the academic year 2004 5.

In collaboration with Columbia University, Ben Gurion University had also designed interferometric radars to monitor dune and sand migration and evaluate the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami and the quality of water in the Red Sea.

Bernard Avishai, a distinguished Israeli professor of business and government who divides his time between Israel and the US, notes that whatever Israel s young people may think of the Palestinians, they expect to fly off from Ben Gurion Airport and land, accepted, in the Western world. Now they know that the stakes are rising.
