I am a Muslim from Brunei Darussalam. I am sure despite the chaos in Mid-East, most Israelis are friendly. Hopefully the Jews and Muslims can live peacefully together soon. 20,000 collection of books? That\'s great. - Pg Metassan Pg Bakar Tue, 02 Oct 2007 15:12:23 +0100 http://www.telavivguide.net/Attractions/Sightseeing/Ben_Gurion_House_20051106181/#comment-16 As an American, what struck me most about this home of Israel's founding father and first Prime Minister was its accessibility and simplicity. Here was a relatively modest home on an unremarkable street, pretty much accessible to any Tel Avivi walking by. In short, this is no Mount Vernon. The description is right. The books, in at least five languages, really capture the breadth of this man's mind. Ben-Gurion was a complex and often difficult man, and not always right (think Winston Churchill, and you get the idea.) But he was a driven and brilliant visionary, and Israel was lucky to have him as its midwife. Not sure he'd like that image, but it works for me. Worth a stop, and it can be part of your walk through the city, along with Independence Hall. - Douglas Duckett Sat, 19 Nov 2005 05:03:51 +0100
