I would like to make a small change, clarifying that Pinsk is a city within the country of Belarus, and not the country of Belarus itself (as the current sentence implies). The changes (which are also grammatical) are bolded and italicized for convenience.

Please change:

Meir's father, Moshe, left the country to find work in New York City in 1903.^[1] In his absence, the rest of the family moved to Pinsk (present-day Belarus) to join her mother's family. In 1905, Moshe moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in search of higher-paying work, and found employment in the workshops of the local railroad yard. The following year, he had saved up enough money to bring his family to the United States. Golda along with her mother and sisters landed in Quebec and traveled to Milwaukee by train.^[2]

Hi, there were a few errors in this entry and I provided a brief correction.

In June 1969, on the two-year anniversary of the Six-Day War, Meir stated in an interview that "there was no such thing as Palestinians", a comment consistent both historically and with contemporary Arab thought (see Zuheir Mohsen and many others).
