Kesher Talk

Who was Richard Meinertzhagen? On December 3, 1947, four days after the UN voted in favour of partition in Palestine, Dr Chaim Weizmann cabled Col. Richard Meinertzhagen to say, “To you dear friend we owe so much that I can only express it in simple words - May God Bless You”.

Citizens for a Constructive UN ask: "Who was Richard Meinertzhagen and why the accolades from a top Zionist leader who would become the first president of Israel?"
