David Ben Gurion |
|
I - About Palestinian refugees |
|
We must do everything to insure they never return. The old will die and the young will forget. David Ben-Gurion, in his diary, July 18, 1948. Quoted by Hanan Ashrawi. |
|
II - The segregationist "Right of Return" |
|
This
is not only a Jewish state, where the majority of the inhabitants are Jews,
but a state for all Jews, wherever they are, and for every Jew who wants
to be here....This right is inherent in being a Jew. |
|
III - The Great Israel |
|
The boundaries of Zionist aspiration include Southern Lebanon, Southern Syria, today’s Jordan, all of Cis-Jordan (The West Bank), and the Sinai Told in the World Council of Poale Zion in Tel Aviv, in 1938. Quoted by Sarah Waheed, in Zionism is Racism, Get it Right. |
|
IV - About the children of Holocaust |
|
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. Quoted by Sarah Waheed, in Zionism is Racism, Get it Right. |
|
V - Abolishing partition |
|
After we become a strong force, as a result of the creation of a state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine… The state will only be a stage in the realisation of Zionism and its task is to prepare the ground for our expansion into the whole of Palestine. Cited in Chomsky, Noam, The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians, Pluto Press, London, 1999. Quoted by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed. |
