The Founding Fathers1

David Ben Gurion

Prime Minister of Israel

1949 – 1954,

1955 – 1963

“We must expel Arabs and take their places.”

– David Ben Gurion, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985.

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”

– David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

“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), pp. 121-122.

“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 that did not have a former Arab population.”

– David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p. 99.

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.”

–David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

“If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.”

– David Ben-Gurion 1938 (Quoted on pp 855-56 in Shabtai Teveth’s Ben-Gurion in a slightly different translation).

Prime Minister of Israel

1969 – 1974

“There is no such thing as a Palestinian people… It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn’t exist.”

– Golda Meir, statement to The Sunday Times, 15 June, 1969.

“How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.”

– Golda Meir, March 8, 1969.

“Any one who speaks in favor of bringing the Arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of Israel. It is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: We shall not let this happen.”

– Golda Meir, 1961, in a speech to the Knesset, reported in Ner, October 1961

“This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy.”

Quotes: monabaker.com

But, Rabbi Manis Friedmann acolytes who have dashed to his defense, encouraging attackers to “drop the issue because “you are only inspiring more hatred.” (throwing the ball of guilt and blame for it all on us) are trying to persuade the fire-fighters who have rushed to the blaze that there is in fact no fire here. Which is pure bullshit! The Rabbi said it in good faith. He meant is as gospel! He cannot recall his words!

Who was it just yesterday who, in regard to something which Nutzandyahoo has said, said: “words once set lose, unlike a dog, cannot be recalled.”

In evidence to support the argument that he knew what he was saying, and it reflects the Zionist policies of Eretz Israel, in spite of what he may have subsequently said to cover his tracks, I submit the attached evidence.

This guy unwisely let his mouth dig a hole into which he has fallen, at the wrong time… and for his defenders
to pretend that there is no hole is absurd.

Hell, they need us, for we are the ones who create the victimhood in which they glory! Without loose mouthed guys like the Good Rabbi to keep the fires burning, they would not be disliked so much, and would lose their identity as martyrs in the cause of God.

the rabbi already explained that he was misquoted and that he was calling for the Israelis to intimidate the extremists so that they sould stop using women and children as shields.

Why do some people need to keep the hatred going even once we know it was a missunderstanding?!?!?!?!?

In many Nations he would be persecuted, prosecuted and put in prison for such a suggestion.

Rabbi Friedman? He is Jewish, so “normal” laws, morals, ethics and standards of humanity do not apply to him and and he is praised!

Oh vey?
