Summary

This is the story of the men and women who brought us our state. Who ran guns, defended settlements, defied the Mandatory Powers that Be, smuggled shell-shocked refugees into their homeland… and who disagreed with each other mightily about the best way to wrench their homeland back from a dying empire. In this episode, the last of Season 2, Noam tells the story of Black Saturday and asks, how far would we have gone to bring about the State of Israel? ~~~~ Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Alan Fisher and Barbara Sommer, and Jon and Rachie Teller, and this episode is generously sponsored by Yoni and Lisa Wintner. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked Unpacking Israeli History about the Altalena: https://jewishunpacked.com/the-altalena-israels-almost-civil-war/ ~~~~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsw_q5vO9hY http://hebrewsongs.com/?song=shirhapalmach https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/quot-my-heart-is-in-the-east-quot-yehuda-halevi https://etzel.org.il/ Sasson Sofer, Zionism and the Foundations of Israeli Diplomacy Anita Shapira, Ben-Gurion: Father of Modern Israel Daniel Gordis, Menachem Begin: The Battle for Israel's Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmYyPcEQKU4 https://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/foreignpolicy/peace/guide/pages/declaration%20of%20establishment%20of%20state%20of%20israel.aspx Thurston Clark, By Blood and Fire
