The link above is a biography of David Ben Gurion. It relates to what we've learned because Ben Gurion was the leader of the struggle for an Israeli state as well as the Prime minister for a number of years. It adds information about other parts of his life as well as his policies. For example, he tried to re-establish trade with West Germany despite criticism. He left his post as Prime Minister just a few years before the 6 day war and many other conflicts. He was also involved in one of the first farmer's communes. This source is valuable because it comes from an Israeli-American cooperation for a virtual library. However, Israel's political views may have hidden some of Ben Gurion's involvment in wars, limiting him.
