Why Albert Einstein Declined to Be President of Israel in 1952

After the death of Israel's first President, Chaim Weizmann in 1952, Albert Einstein was offered the Presidency of the Jewish state. But the Nobel-winning physicist declined to be President of Israel.

Albert Einstein was a man with many accomplishments. He made the famous formula that claimed mass and energy equivalence. Then, in 1921, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the law of the photoelectric effect that contributed to the whole new world of quantum physics.

What few people know is that, if he wanted to, Einstein might have added the president of Israel to his summary of achievements.

Following the establishment of Israel in 1948, and the death of Weizmann in November 1952, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, under pressure from a Jerusalem newspaper, offered the position of president to Einstein.

At that moment, the scientist was staying at Princeton University. Being President is primarily a ceremonial position in Israel, while executive power is exercised by the prime minister.

Einstein, however, declined the offer. #HistoryVille #Einstein #Shorts

That and he despised Colonialism. He wrote an Letter to the NYT calling the former Gouvernment Terrorists, Faschists, and even Nazis.
He did know exactly what to do. If he had Power in that Position, instead of beeing just a Figurhead, he might have changed the System, its sad.

Because it didn't exist when he was born. He managed to escape Hitler and immediately asked about becoming president of an imaginary state.😂😂

He knew the creation of apartheid state and as an honorable Jews ans survivors of Holocust it was last thing he would do to take a charge of illegally created state on the lives of Native palestinians.

This is propaganda. Enstein was against Isreal. He called them fascists.

However his actual letter says he didn't support the creation of Israel and called it a terrorist organisation and said he will not be a part of it. Look up the truth. This video is spreading lies

That’s completely False.
He declined because he was working on one of his special researches😀
