"There is a huge gap between us (Jews) and our enemies, not just in
ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life, and conscience. They are
our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred meters
away, there are people who do not belong to our continent, to our world, but
actually belong to a different galaxy." Israeli president Moshe Katsav.

and that Israel
was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed
after the war." Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.

David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): "If I were an Arab
leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken
their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest
them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler,
Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see
but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they
accept that?" Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish
Paradox), pp121.

smashing Lebanon,
Trans-jordan and Syria...
The weak point in the Arab coalition is Lebanon [for] the Moslem regime is
artificial and easy to undermine. A Christian state should be established...
When we smash the [Arab] Legions strength and bomb Amman,
we will eliminate Transjordan, too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria, and Cairo." " David

"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even
know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography
books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are
not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the
place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in
the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country

"There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high
percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance;
and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry
out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant.
[I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument:...the need
to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a
non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this
fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary."

first of these is that there is no Zionism,colonialization or Jewish State

"We will establish ourselves in Palestine

"Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as
different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared
to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races
are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior
races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The
masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves." - Israeli prime
Minister Menachem Begin in a speech to the Knesset [Israeli Parliament] quoted
by Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the Beasts," New Statesman, June 25,

"Tell me, do the evil men of this world have a bad time? They hunt and
catch whatever they feel like eating. They don't suffer from indigestion and
are not punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the
world will then at last begin to fear us instead of feeling sorry. Maybe they
will start to tremble, to fear our madness instead of admiring our nobility.
Let them tremble; let them call us a mad state. Let them understand that we are
a savage country, dangerous to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go
wild, that we might start World War Three just like that, or that we might one
day go crazy and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East. Even if you'll
prove to me that the present war is a dirty immoral war, I don't care. We shall
start another war, kill and destroy more and more. And do you know why it is
all worth it? Because it seems that this war has made us more unpopular among
the civilized world.We'll hear no more of that nonsense about the unique Jewish
morality. No more talk about a unique people being a light upon the nations. No
more uniqueness and no more sweetness and light. Good riddance." -- Former
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon

"What shocks and worries me is the narrow-mindedness and the
shortsightedness of our military leaders. They seem to presume that the State
of Israel may or even must-behave in the realm of international relations
according to the laws of the jungle- -the long chain of false incidents and
hostilities we have invented, and so many clashes we have provoked;" - From

Hebrew essayist Achad Ha-Am, after paying a visit to Palestine in 1891:
"Abroad we are accustomed to believe that Israel is almost empty; nothing
is grown here and that whoever wishes to buy land could come here and buy what
his heart desires. In reality, the situation is not like this. Throughout the
country it is difficult to find cultivable land which is not already
cultivated."

The Balfour Declaration to Baron Rothchild, on the 2nd of November, 1917:
"His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine

nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of
existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political
status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

1923:Vladimir Jabotinsky, The Iron Wall, "Zionist colonization must
either be terminated or carried out against the wishes of the native
population. This colonization can, therefore, be continued and make progress
only under the protection of a power independent of the native population - an
iron wall, which will be in a position to resist the pressure to the native
population. This is our policy towards the Arabs..."
36.
Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of Revisionist Zionism (precursor of Likud), The
Iron Wall, 1923: "A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the
question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which
people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find
some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or
else-or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will
render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization,
colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE!...
Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the
question of armed force. It is important... to speak Hebrew, but,
unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot - or else I am
through with playing at colonizing."

Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department in 1940. From
"A Solution to the Refugee Problem": "Between ourselves it must
be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We
shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no
other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries - all
of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left."

Israeli official Arthur Lourie in a letter to Walter Eytan, director general of
the Israeli Foreign Ministry (ISA FM 2564/22). From Benny Morris, "The
Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-49", p. 297: "...if
people become accustomed to the large figure and we are actually obliged to
accept the return of the refugees, we may find it difficult, when faced with
hordes of claimants, to convince the world that not all of these formerly lived
in Israeli territory. It would, in any event, seem desirable to minimize the
numbers...than otherwise."

point is Lebanon,
for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish
a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate
Trans-Jordan; Syria

Said, Alexandria

BenDavid -Gurion, one of the father founders of Israel,
described Zionist aims in 1948: "A Christian state should be established
[in Lebanon],

When we smash the Arab Legion's strength and bomb Amman,
we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo... And in this
fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers' account with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram"

December 1948: "Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time

(Herut), a political party closely akin in its organization, method, political
philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties."
43.
Martin Buber, Jewish Philosopher, addressed Prime Minister Ben Gurion on the
moral character of the state of Israel
with reference to the Arab refugees in March 1949. "We will have to face
the reality that Israel
is neither innocent, nor redemptive. And that in its creation, and expansion;
we as Jews, have caused what we historically have suffered; a refugee
population in Diaspora."

December 1983: "Hitler's legal power was based upon the 'Enabling Act',
which was passed quite legally by the Reichstag and which allowed the Fuehrer
and his representatives, in plain language, to be what they wanted, or in legal
language, to issue regulations having the force of law. Exactly the same type
of act was passed by the Knesset [Israeli's Parliament] immediately after the
1067 conquest granting the Israeli governor and his representatives the power
of Hitler, which they use in Hitlerian manner."

generations, for the mass aliya [immigration], and for the Jewish people, all
of whom will be gathered into this country."

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, quoted in Associated Press, November 16,

force...."

Ben Gurion: In 1899, Davis Triestsch wrote to Herzl: " I would suggest to
you to come round in time to the "Greater Palestine" program before
it is too late... the Basle program must contain the words "Great
Palestine" or "Palestine and its neighboring lands" otherwise
it's nonsense. You do not get ten million Jews into a land of 25,000 Km2".
" The present map of Palestine
was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our
youth and adults should strive to fulfill -- From the Nile to the Euphrates."

Vladimir Jabotinsky (the founder and advocate of the Zionist terrorist
organizations), Quoted by Maxime Rodinson in Peuple Juif ou Problem Juif.
(Jewish People or Jewish Problem): "Has any People ever been seen to give
up their territory of their own free will? In the same way, the Arabs of
Palestine will not renounce their sovereignty without violence."
We
enthusiastically chose to become a colonial society, ignoring international
treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the
occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justification for all these
activities. Passionately desiring to keep the occupied territories, we
developed two judicial systems: one - progressive, liberal - in Israel; and the
other - cruel, injurious - in the occupied territories. In effect, we
established an apartheid regime in the occupied territories immediately
following their capture. That oppressive regime exists to this day.
Showing the ugly face of Zionists? These people are not Zionists, they are Jews living in Melbourne. What this post exposes you as is simple anti-Semites.
ReplyDeleteHere is my anti-Semitism: Definitely you are a “stupid Jew”. I am Semite myself, but not a stupid Jew waving the stupid card of anti-Semitism every time Jews are criticized for their crimes . This card does not scare or intimidate anybody anymore. On top of that, the posted article is not mine, but has been written and published in “Haaretz” the Israeli newspaper. You can look for it there and leave your comment charging them with anti-Semitism.
