Used to be a better dictionary when it gave, along with the date of birth, the actual European birth names of "Golda Meir" and the other white, European Jews who established a Jewish, exclusivist state (in occupied PALESTINE) and adopted Hebrew-sounding, mythological names to further their dubious personal historical claims to the land. All the dictionaries on Google Play which I have downloaded and examined have a similar aversion to disseminating definitions which include the accurate, historical birth names of said individuals. Additionally, only defining an individual as, "An Israeli statesman..." without including the above mentioned data is a disservice to learners and is intellectually dishonest because the modern state of Israel (in occupied PALESTINE) did not exist physically on planet earth prior to the year 1948.
