After Ben-Gurion came to Palestine in 1906, he wrote a letter of anticipatory nostalgia to his father in Plonsk, Russian Poland. The son was laboring hard. ''But who is to complain, to sigh, to despair? In 25 years our country will be one of the most blooming, most beautiful and happiest: an old-new nation will flourish in an ancient-new land. Then we shall relate how we fevered and worked, hungered and dreamed.'' Israel seems now a nation...
