[Is The Bottom Almost Here?]

@John Hjorth The line from Ben Gurion was “ To be an  realist, you have to believe in miracles.”

 

This was related to the founding is Israel that succeeded against all odds. My interpretation of the meaning is that “miracles” are possible and perhaps only possible, if someone believes in them.

Or perhaps it means that if you try something hard and long enough, you may succeed in what seems like a miracle to anyone else. 

 

Either interpretation sounds good to me. Now we can go back to our regular scheduled programming.

Hello 

 

I was looking for that quote, found somethings very similar. 

 

Ben Gurion said:

בארץ ישראל,אדם שלא מאמין בנסים הוא

אדם לא ריאלי

 

"In the land of Israel, a person who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realistic person"

 

Your interpretation of that quote is perfect!

 

Etai.

^^^ It's fun listening to you whine about Israel - a sliver of land surrounded by religious fanatics devoted to destroying them. So much for protecting yourself. Is it any wonder that the 1M or so Arabs that live

in Israel have no interest in leaving to live in the hellhole Arab nations around them?

 

Talk about re-writing history..

This is true.

As an Israeli... they do not have any interest whatsoever of living in other Arab countries.

They have a great quality of life here.
