The article deals with Ben-Gurion’s ambivalence towards the Revisionist Movement and its leaders. Evidence of this can be seen in his relationship with Ze’ev Jabotinsky between 1933-1935 (that went from bitter rivalry to close cooperation); his friendship with the most important poet of the Revisionist Movement, Uri Zvi Greenberg, especially during the 1960-1961 Lavon Affair; his warm friendship with Yehoshua Cohen – a member of Lehi (the Stern Gang) and one of the founders of Kibbutz Sde-Boker; his relationship with Geula Cohen, a member of Lehi and a prominent figure in the radical right; and his relationship with Menachem Begin in the 1960s (that went from deep-felt hatred to friendship).
