And of course learning the names of every PM of every country is right at the top of my list of things to learn...
Israeli political history really isn't something that interests me, I read about other things.
And people who post opinions on subjects they've just had to google need shooting.

It's Jos. :rolleyes:

I don't even what to picture it.

That said, i think Maggie was tougher.

Golda worked on a farm for several years when she was young, doing physical labour. I don't think Maggie did.

Both of them were such fiercely political animals though - Maggie was in politics almost her entire adult life, while Golda was in the Zionist movement, then in politics, almost her entire adult life.

Nothing that would really differentiate between them when at their physical peak.

Of course both of them as PM were tough as nails.  Maggie stood down the trade unions and defeated the Argentine military.  Golda ordered the deaths of palestinian terrorists after Munich, and defeated the Arab armies after the Yom Kippur War.

I'll call it a double KO.

I'd take the original "Iron Lady" over the second one, but not by a lot.  A coupla tough birds.

I think I'd have a better (but still woeful) chance of winning a fight with Maggie than with Golda.  So I think Golda wins.

Meir if they wrestle in jello. Thatcher in the mud.

Maggie's got the wingspan, and could work the jabs all day, but Golda would get in on the body.

Golda in a split decision.

Josephus

In a split decision it would depend on who the judges are. No way any Arab judges will vote for Meir. An Argie, or even a Brit from the north,  wouldn't vote for Thatcher.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
