Palestine proper has already its inhabitants."(Israel Zangwill, The Voice of Jerusalem, London 1920, p.88)3. "When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle."(Raphael Eitan, Israeli Chief of Staff, New York Times, 14 April 1983)4.

"Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both people together in this country...The only solution is a Palestine.....without Arabs. And there is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them; not one village, not one tribe, should be left."(Joseph Weitz, Jewish National Fund, administrator responsible for Zionist colonization. Davar, 29 September 1967).7."We shall try to spirit the penniless population [the Palestinians] across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country"(Theodor Herzl, The Complete Diaries, Herzl Press, 1960, I, p.88)8. "[Zionists]...looked for means...to cause the tens of thousands of sulky Arabs who remained in the Galilee to flee...I gathered all the Jewish muktars, who have contact with Arabs in different villages and asked them to whisper in the ears of some Arabs that a great Jewish reinforcement has arrived in Galilee and that it is going to burn all of the villages of the Huleh. They should suggest to these Arabs, as their friends, to escape while there is still time....The tactic reached its goal....wide areas were cleaned."(Yig'al Alon, Sepher Ha Palmach, in Hebrew, II. p.268, quoted in Khalidi, From Haven to Conquest, IPS, 1971).10.

"All this story about the danger of extermination [of Jews] has been blown up....to justify the annexation of new Arab territories"(Mordechai Bentov, Israeli Cabinet Minister, Al Hamishmar, 14 April 1972)14. "Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat"(Yitzhak Shamir, Hehazit, Summer 1943 [Journal of the LEHI, the Stern Gang], translated from the Israeli daily Al-Hamishmar, 24 December 198714. "The domination of Jewish agriculture by Arab workers is a cancer in our body"(A. Uzan, Israeli Minister of Agriculture, Ha'aretz, 13 December 1974)15.

"We should there [in Palestine] form a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism."(Dr. Theodor Herzl, The Jewish State, London, 1896, p. 29)21. "I deeply believe in launching preventive war against the Arab States without further hesitation. By doing so we will achieve two targets: firstly, the annihilation of Arab power; and secondly, the expansion of our territory"(Menachem Begin, in a speech to the Knesset, 12 October 1955)22. "During the last 100 years our people have been in a process of building up the country and the nation, of expansion, of getting additional Jews and additional settlements in order to expand the borders here. Let no Jew say that the process has ended. Let no Jew say that we are near the end of the road."(Moshe Dayan, Ma'ariv, 7 July 1968)23.

"In the months preceding the Arab invasion [of 1948], and while the five Arab states were conducting preparations, we continued to make sallies into Arab territory.

"I do not think Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to the Sinai on May 14 [1967] would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it."(Yitzhak Rabin, Le Monde, 29 February 1968)27. "To pretend that the Egyptian forces massed on our frontiers [in 1967] were in position to threaten the existence of Israel constitutes an insult not only to the intelligence of anyone capable of analyzing this sort of situation, but above all an insult to the Zahal [Israeli army]"(General Res. Matti Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972)28. "when we have broken the strength of the Arab Legion and bombarded Amman, we would wipe out Transjordan; after that Syria would fall....we would thus end the war, and would have put paid to Egypt, Assyria and Chaldea on behalf of our ancestors"(David Ben Gurion in his diaries, quoted in Michael Bar-Zohar, The Armed Prophet, A Biography of Ben-Gurion, Prentice-Hall, 1967, p.139)29.

But this wish can in no way change the realities."(Israeli General Ezer Weizmann, Le Monde, 3 June 1972)30. "Let us not today fling accusations at the [Palestinian Arab] murderers. Who are we that we should argue against their hatred ? For eight years now they sit in their refugee camps in Gaza, and before their very eyes, we turn into our homestead the land and the villages in which they and their forefathers have lived. We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and the cannon we cannot plant a tree and build a home. Let us not shrink back when we see the hatred fermenting and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who sit all around us. Let us not avert our gaze, so that our hand shall not slip. This is the fate of our generation, the choice of our life - to be prepared and armed, strong and tough - or otherwise, the sword will slip from our first, and our life will be snuffed out."(Moshe Dayan, eulogy of Roy Rutenberg at Kibbutz Nahal Oz, 1956, quoted in Uri Avneri, Israel without Zionists, Collier Books, Macmillan, New York, 1971, p.154)
