Israeli
atrocities against Palestinians are often reported as if they were
unintended excesses. Far from it, they are part of the policy of
expulsion. Below are quotes from Zionists which show that - far from
being the victims of racial violence by others, as they would want
everyone to believe amidst endless cries of anti-semitism these
people are racist supremacists who unashamedly justify and support
the discrimination against, and "A partial Jewish State is not
the end, but only the beginning. I am certain that we can not be
prevented from settling in the other parts of the country and the
region." David Ben Gurion, in a letter to his son, 1937.
"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." Joseph Weitz, the
head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department, which was
responsible for the actual organization of settlements in Palestine,
1940.
"We
have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live
here as slaves." Heilbrun, Chairman of the committee for the

"I
don't know something called International Principles. I vow that
I'll burn every Palestinian Child that will be born in this area.
The Palestinian Woman and Child is more dangerous than the Man,
Because the Palestinian Child existence refers that Generations will
go on, but the man causes limited danger. I vow that if I was just
an Israeli Civilian and I met a Palestinian I would burn him and I
would make him suffer before killing him. With One hit I've killed
750 Palestinians (in Rafah, 1956). I wanted to encourage my soldiers
by raping Arabic Girls as The Palestinian Woman is a slave for Jews,
and we do whatever we want to her and Nobody tells us what we shall
do but we tell others what they shall do." Ariel Sharon, In
an interview with General Ouze Merham, 1956.

bluff, which was born and developed after the war." Israeli
General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.
"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. The Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2001.
"The
Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they

"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

see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country.
Why would they accept that?" David Ben Gurion (the first

Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp 121.

return". "The old will die and the young will
forget." Ben Gurion in 1948 assuring his fellow Zionists
that Palestinians will never come back to their homes.
"We
declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one
centimeter of Eretz Israel... Force is all they do or ever will
understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians
come crawling to us on all fours." Rafael Eitan, Chief of
Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces - Gad Becker, Yediot Ahronot 13
April 1983, New York Times 14 April 1983.
"We
should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash
Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak 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 will fall to us. We then bomb
and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai." David
Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A
Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.
"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.

New York Times, 23 October 1979.
"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." Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's
Colonization Department. From Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri
Davis, p.5.

Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the
extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15,
1998.
"It
is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly
and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with
time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism,
colonialization or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs
and the
expropriation of their lands." Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot
Aahronot, of 14 July 1972.
