Abstract
ABSTRACTThe memory of the Holocaust and fear of a campaign similar to the one waged in World War II against the Jewish community in Israel, led David Ben-Gurion’s purely realistic thinking to secure the state’s survival at all costs. The State of Israel as a Jewish state could only survive if it had the all means to overcome its existential struggle with the Arab states. The ultimate, most effective means were nuclear weapons. Ben-Gurion demanded the mobilization of all the power that lay within the grasp of the Jewish people by arguing that the existence of the state was the means for the continued existence of the Jewish people. Therefore he recruited the best scientists among world Jewry and raised the funds to realize this goal. This was achieved in two processes, scientific and organizational, and in two channels, the American and French.
